I can also confirm what a difference teh K&N has made.
Firstly I fitted set of race cans from Carbon Can Co, which are basically two HUGE drainpipes, sound amazing at all speeds, but strangely not too loud at normal crusising. ( High Level brushed stainless they look a treat and are so light compared to OEM ones )
Slightly lumpy on tickover was cured by chip urgrade from guy on EBay ( selling from Germnay ); this cured the lumpiness and low speed tickover and also improved pickup, and topped off with K&N also from our friends on EBay, which finshed off the package nicley.
Not only does it sound great but it now goes like stink ( always legally of course ).
It's just due its 9000mile service, can anyone recommend anywhere in North East to get this done that has the required Aprilia gear. I have been put onto guy at thirsk but was hoping for somewehere a little closer to home ( Durham area ) . Tried M&S at Newcastle but it would have been cheaper to SELL the bike LOL
cheers,
