Re: accessory exhaust



A quick comment on the CF exhaust..

I love the sound in all ranges. Definitely stands
out from the rest..I ride with a couple of Harleys
and like Eric said, I have nothing to worry about..
at least when I'm with them!!

I ordered the bike with the CF exhaust installed so
unfortunately never had the before and after comparison.
What I've noticed (@1100miles now) is if I do a slow roll
off the line and then give it full throttle, there is a definite
hesitation for a second or so and then it's off to the races.
Is this normal or is it possible the remap wasn't done or done
correctly?? Just curious...
Btw-During the slow rolloff the line, an FJ1200 decided he wanted
to race and of course I just couldn't resist...Caught up and passed in
second before next stop light...
Still grinnin...
