Akrapovic Titanium Headers
- Thread starter Warlord
- Start date
Nah, it'll settle down quickly. Nobody's got the stomach for it any more.
I've bought the Akro end can, so we shall see if CPJS is right
I was thinking about your Triggers Broom comment when I bought this end can 
So far I've modified the bike and taken off most of the BMW failures
- Spoked wheels replaced by Alloy wheels
- ESA Suspension replaced by Ohlins TTX
- Exhaust Cat and Flapper valve replaced by Akrapovic and Servo Buddy
- Seats replaced by Wunderlich
- Steering damper replaced by Hyperpro
- Hand Guards replaced by Barkbusters
- Bars all removed, powder coated and replaced
- Final drive and shaft replaced
But the engine and frame is still original

Brilliant idea Nutty, a can of worms strapped to the bike, so if the worms spin around quickly enough in the can, the bike will obviously go faster, just as plausible as other stuff.

And he could eat them when the bike breaks down/ he falls off in the middle of nowhere, stranded for hours on end.

Or use the worm as a homing pigeon.
Did about 250 miles today, and by the afternoon the bike was starting to get its act together.
Really enjoyed the ride home, was good.
Revving it up to the limiter was better as well, so something is changing for the better.

probably some adaption going on, the o2 sensors do have some use after all

Just my 2 pence worth, mine and Warlords bike are fitted out similarly, as regards shocks, Akra headers, mine are SS though, with standard end can, The difference I believe is that I have an AF-Xied fitted and my bike is a GS 15 year, so Euro 3.
When I fitted the headers, I was running the AF-Xied on setting 7, as before, But the bike ran ok, but seemed to lack something, so I set the AF-Xied to 8 and that made a big difference to throttle response when overtaking. I think it just needed a richer AFR mixture to get the best out of the Akra headers. Any body running a similar set up, but with the AF-Xied set on 9 ?

Just a heads up temperatures are dropping so you will need to take that into account, I have only tried 7 and now on 6 as it is a lot colder now in the mornings, no real difference felt, will probably put it back to 7 next week, as temps will start to get into single figures and even negative, if we believe the weatherman.
willtry out 8 in the spring or summer when the heat is back, but different setup, mine is stock headers and muffler.
Whats this temperature in single figures you speak of ?......
Lower 20s forecast for today...........I know I'm lucky, it is a bit cloudy though. I've still got my Nature Boy outfit on, ( shorts, t/shirt, sandles ).
Average January daytime temps are 16c, we never get any frost or snow down here on the coast.

Yep I know was in Faro for many years, but tad different in Deutschland.
and the more you go uphill the colder it gets.

Saturday looks like a good day for a ride out, a bit grim for next week for you though! If you go out, enjoy....
When its grim I have a weaponized Suzuki Vitara.
I think you have answered your own question. Bike looked stylish until now. 
but each to their own
