Your loud is some people's ear bursting loud. I've only ridden with one mate who had one on his, it was daft, just daft loud. I couldn't imagine how he rode itTaipan wrote: ↑Wed Jul 13, 2022 2:54 pm I put it on! A bit fiddly lining it up and I take what whoever said about it only being a mm or 2 away from the sump! Anyway, it's loud. Effin loud! But now its all together, it can drop on and off as easy as the OEM system which is a quick job. So I can swap them out as I fancy, or plod dictates!

It might just be a nice burble when I'm riding it, as opposed to flipping the throttle when standing next to it?

You mean when you're riding and only poor buggers roadside are exposed to the noise as you ride pushing the noise behind you

Just started it up for another lsiten and realised the EML was on. I forgot to reconnect the o2 sensor. D'oh! Seat off, o2 reader plugged in and fault cleared ready for the mornings inaugural concert, err run!

Re: NBT: The old keeper is going, meet the new one!
Rode it in and the sound is bang on IMO. It's loud enough to hear for sure, but nowhere near as loud as my Harley or Supermotos I've had. Plus you can keep it quite civil at low revs. I went past Plod on the embankment and was watching him as I snuck by at low revs but he never even glanced sideways. Win!

Re: NBT: The old keeper is going, meet the new one!
Was a bit enthusiastic with it on the way home tonight. It sounds absolutely glorious with the system on there! Some complimentary crackles and pops on the overrun too! The CP3 engine is amazing and its a joy to hear it howl! My first triple and an engine note I've not been the biggest fan of before tbh, but that's certainly all changed now!
It certainly has more power than I have ability, but fortunately I'm old enough to respect that. But (gently) playing with that fully usable rev range is a joy, especially now I can hear it too! I'm proper chuffed with the purchase.
The only thing that pisses me off is it runs very hot and in this weather it cooks your inner thighs when the fan comes on which is pretty much all the time in Londons near stationery traffic! But I've discovered all tuners drop the fan kick in and out temp when it gets remapped. So that will be getting done when I cant ride it due to getting some of my skeleton removed.

I find engine heat in traffic is worse now I wear jeans than when I wore leathers, but luckily I don't do much traffic.

That'll stop when they delete/ block off the PAIR valve. Stops it sounding like a clapped out rally car.

Re: NBT: The old keeper is going, meet the new one!
Cant program it out on the Gen2 MTs, you have to either fit AIS blanking plugs or stick a marble in the feed tube, which to keep it looking OEM, is what I'll do if the remap makes the pops n bangs unbearable? But they aren't intrusive as they are, so I wont bother with the marble as it is.

Re: NBT: The old keeper is going, meet the new one!
Almost a week since I rode the bike but when I got back on it today I quickly remembered just how epic this bike is! Exhaust was a great purchase too as its just so lovely to listen to! Plus I can blip the throttle angrily at myopic DPD drivers/Cyclists/Pedestrians!
I hate the look of the top box but had to bring 3 large books in this week and take another 3 home. Normally that would have been one a day in my back pack, but I just bunged all of them in. When I'm not using the top box I remove it but even the rack kills the lines. Damn this luggage for being so useable and convenient!

Re: NBT: The old keeper is going, meet the new one!
Yup even the rack looks a bit pants. Stop looking!
And yes they are supper convenient. See advice above.
Plus extra cool points if you duff someone up whilst having a top box.

Mine got the shad system which relocates the indicators, so I don't think its that straightforward? I'll check though!Dodgy knees wrote: ↑Wed Jul 20, 2022 1:32 pm When I don't need top box, the rack comes off aswel. 5 mins.
