Have you written a note to Santa?

Or have you already requested a white 848 to add to the stable

you don't need the power commander anymore, just direct remapping to the ECU, but you're right, still about £500

i dont think you can remap the 796 ecu, its as it comes, and the option of tuning is power commander

Looks like it already has plenty of power - almost managed to keep up with me on the way back from MR.......

On a serious note though - IT IS BLOODY LOUD!!!!! (TBH probably one of the nicest exhaust tones I've heard ............ )

If you haven't changed the airbox it should be ok, you may need to do a few miles for it to settle down so your ECU can store some new offsets for the mixture.

Good luck!

Exhaust sounds good, especially when it opens up, only problem is that there is an orange light on the dash which is on all the time, to do with the exhaust motor valve, bike looks nice with the pipe, but i did just about manage to keep up with Gordon, almost undertook him and overtook him several times.....

In Moto Rapido's workshop


The pipework is alot less heavy looking than the standard system

Looks good Mart... I had a light stay on for quite a bit when I changed exhaust, think it was engine warning light or something though.

Check with Rally, I know he had a light stay on permanent when he switched, not sure what happened with that?
