My 1100Gs was equipped with Remus when i bought it. I tried the original system now and the bike feels a lot better to drive. What are your experience with changing? Is it worth to loose a few punds of weight and get a more manly sound :)
 
Got Remus headers and Akro pipe on my GSA12 and its great! Sounds awesome and breathes better through the 3-6000 rpm slot .i like it a lot:D:o
 
My 1100 has a Remus and IMHO, it is better than the factory pipe. It does breathe a little better and at least you can hear it.....:thumb.

The weight saving is huge which allows for bling can be applied....!!

Mine drives great with or without the Remus but I much prefer it over the standard system.:thumb
 
remus

Hi mate i had the remus on my 1100gs and i sold it and went back to stock.I found it a drone and it may sound faster but it aint.The bike rides better with the stock and you dont lose the low end torque.:D
 
Hello

Bin it. I ran mine for years, then i borrowed Steptoe's loaner. It was a revelation. Now I run mine with a new MRA screen and std can. It feels pretty similar, although with less vibration from the can, plus a lot less noise. Motorways are now quiet relaxing affairs. I can even hear tyre noise now, never heard it before.

If you only ride for a an hour or two on w/e's then you might want the sound, otherwise I would bin the Remus. :thumb
 
Mine's about to be replaced by the standard can. The Remus is really noisy - it still sounds loud through moulded ear plugs and over the top of music being played and I think that will get very wearing on a long trip.

I cant say that the sound bother me from the Remus, and i also think the vibrations are more from the original system, but slightly more low end tourqe pleases me. the thing is that i cant really see the benefits in paying a lot of money for it....
 
I think there's only one valid reason to change the exhaust... and thats luggage. If you want full size luggage change the exhaust - if you don't - don't.

If I went down that route then I wouldn't touch a remus anyway. I would go for the low Staintune,
 
it all depends on how your bike is set up, remus needs a tweak on the mixture pot
to run ok ,
theres not much in it , judging by uggs bike
