A bit of fettling and servicing

[D-Rider]

Probably needs a clean after all that

It had one before I did all that .... I'm not going to start lifting cam covers on a grimy bike!

I've now done a few more miles since fitting the modified exhaust mid section that allows a 2:1 exhaust to be fitted while retaining the Falco oil filter and cooler - and has the balance pipes on there to boot.

I would give it a definite thumbs up. The Mille oil tank never looked quite right - returning to the Falco tank is a good aesthetic improvement.
My Falco always seemed better sorted than many at low rpm but this mod has made a great improvement in that area. Slow speed corners and wet roundabouts are now almost a joy (I say almost - I'll never be a great fan of wet roundabouts).
The power characteristics have changed a bit - not sure if it's a bit more a bit less or about the same - but I think more linear.
The one exception is that I now seem to have a bit of a dip around 5k .... which is ironic as I never had one before yet many people complain of them there!
I'm guessing that'll probably be sorted with a bit of PCIII fettling.
Early days as I've not really been for much of a blast on it yet - but so far, I like it.

Nice work.

Bits of that exhaust look like something out of H R Giger (but in a good way, he said hurriedly)... What's the wavy bit on the bit that connects to the can?

You have a commendably clean underside, Mr. Knott.

What's the wavy bit on the bit that connects to the can?

I'm not following which bit you're referring to
Give me some more clues and I'll try to respond.


BTW I should point out that GregD organised the modification of the mid-section .... thanks Greg
