R77 Other than it rattling around in there, it should cause no issue but you might want to try removing the canister and try shaking it out. DewMan Just shut up and ride.

I think I will do that tomorrow. But I was planning on going for a ride tonight with some friends and as long as it’s not an issue then it’ll be left in there for tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't imagine Nels saying that. Reason being that a couple of years ago, 2WDW was surprised when they hit their highest HP yet with the Akra Ti with the baffle out. You had to run premium gas but it was getting 2 HP bump from the baffle being out. Here's the original posting on that: https://fz07.org/thread/4910/fz-07-akrapovic-ti/ I think he's referring to the normal Akra and Yoshi systems. I think the Ti is in its own category. I feel like the Ti might be over restricted just like the stock system, so removing the baffle lets it flow a bit better. I might be totally wrong but it makes sense to me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sansnombre Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 I think it's important to note the term that was used by 2WDW was "better performance," not highest power. I'm pretty certain that the best high-end power can be had with the baffle out, but that best all-around performance would be best with the baffle in.

phanomenal07 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 Is it just me or does the fz sounds exactly the same with the baffle in or out. I just installed the baffle and I can’t tell the difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phanomenal07 Posted October 25, 2018 Share Posted October 25, 2018 “Correct. We build the mapping to run right in between optimal for baffle in/out to allow riders to be able to switch back and forth without reflashing. The bike will perform better at all RPM ranges, but it will be most noticeable at light throttle/cruising.” This is what 2wdw said about the performance difference with the baffle in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not worried about it. I just threw the baffle in. I can say that I definitely felt the difference when riding with it in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stephenms Posted October 27, 2018 Author Share Posted October 27, 2018 Has anyone run the Akrapovic Carbon without a tune? Any issues? Seeing as i'm going with the Akrapovic instead of the Lextek exhaust AND going with 2WDW instead of Vcycle, there's a bit of an increase in cost for all these things. So i was thinking get the exhaust first, run it or not (depending on if it's damaging to do so or not) THEN get the tune. No sense in tuning now for stock exhaust only to have to send it out again to re-tune. I know myself though. If i KNOW that exhaust is nearby and can easily be installed in an afternoon, i'm going to have a hard time resisting the installation. If there's minimal issues with running the exhaust without a tune, i will for the time being. A tune is a must for me though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gregjet Posted October 29, 2018 Share Posted October 29, 2018 I run the Akra carbon without a tune, BUT the ECU has been reflashed ( before) which supplies more fuel than the airy stock afr. It has been problemless ( new word...like it...it's your's) Go forth and modify my son...go forth and modify... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmoney Posted October 31, 2018 Share Posted October 31, 2018 I've run the carbon akra without tuning for 25000kms and so far so good No flash either Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
