Thanx again................been going through threads...........im confused about EXUP......does this stay on with just a \"slipon\" or is that why a power commander is needed............then finally.........what do you all recommend, I like carbon and id like a good sound, it has enough performance for me, so not a huge issue.
Thanks again in advance.
The EXUP comes off with the install of any slip-on as it is part of the stock can. :tup: You do not need a power commander for ONLY a slip-on.
But, with the slip-on you will notice a lot of pooping on deceleration because the exhaust cannot mask the ignition of the unburnt fuel and air from the Air Induction System (AIS). Thus, to eliminate most of the popping, you can do the AIS Blockoff mod which is FREE! There's some good threads and pics here in the Mods section.
-1 tooth on the front sprocket. Gives you more low-mid excitement!
These last two don't need the power commander but many would recommend that you do the PC install and before tuning, do these next two items. I have yet to install a PC and have not done the subthrottle plates yer myself.
Airbox mod... search for LARS. Also a free one! While in there, pop the screen off the stock air filter for a bit of increased air flow, or replace it with a BMC or K&N filter.
Subthrottle plates or as we know them, the flies! Remove them, reduce them or simply tie them open. Everyone has pros and cons on each but no matter which you choose, the bike performs better with them modded in some fashion.
Those are the ones that come to mind first...
