Don't change from a Remus Race can to a standard exhaust!

My 1100 came with Remus Titanium race can + BBPower chip - great!

The standard exhaust turned up a couple of weeks ago so I thought I'd fit it and see what the difference was. Shoved it on on Tuesday night (coz I was doing a good run the next day) and changed the BBPower mapping to suit the std zorst.

I was expecting the bike to feel a bit 'flat' in comparison - nothing of the sort - and it's so flippin quiet it wasn't until the wind noise caused me to look at the speedo that I found I was going WAY too fast on the A14.

With the remus you could hear it at any speed so there was an audible speed limiter, with the std kit I can't hear it above 40mph.

380 mile round trip yesterday with 5 hrs total bum in saddle that's an average of 76mph! And I kept to the 50s on the M42/M5.

The only performance loss is at the top end. Remus allowed an indicated 135 std allows indicated 125.

So, loud cans reduce speed - perhaps they ought to be made compulsory.

Careful Mark if rosko see's you riding at those speeds on a motorway he will tell you off, on motorways you're supposed to ride at 90MPH, its the law.

:D
 
I also changed back from the Laser zorts to std can. Cured loads of small problems but the maniac in me do miss the beat from time to time. I suppose if you start comparing £££ on fuel, your ears ringing etc probably worth sticking with stock.

My fuel consumption went from 200 on reserve to 230 which over a period of time will save lots of money. Performance I found seemed a bit better than with the laser but can't really tell as it stills runs like hell!
 
Until Wednseday I had a TDM900 with Laser duotech cans complete with sports baffles.
loud?
I SAID LOUD?
You betcha!

Greaest joy was sitting beside fast f**ds (having filtered) and drowning out their ICE by blipping the throttle.

Fitting a Remus titanium can and Y piece next week. Need the noise plus I wear earplugs an any journey longer than 15 mins anyway
