Only I (being the most ridiculously inept person with the spanners on this forum) could take 35 mins fitting a can but finally its on!!

Sounds fantastic, am going to take it for a spin in a minute, before going out on the piss tonight - life's really hard sometimes :thumbup

Took a Vid, didn't come out very well at all - sound is ***** so didn't bother messing about with it much and being on my own with only an iphone couldn't blip the throttle.

You want to do something about that patio, Stix - somebody could fall down gaps that size.

Exhaust sounds sweet. Those new Maxxis any good?
 
decent can, looks well in black! whats ur thoughts on the maxxis diamonds mate? thinkin of getting some, can get em for £215 fitted at local bikeshop
 
Just got back from me bimble. Fook me I love it! Why didn't I get one before ffs - had to use my birthday to justify expense :)

Kept rolling on & rolling off just to hear the rumble. Brill.

Nob - baffle would not budge and didn't want to force it. Would slide back and for a bit but not come out so thought I would try it without. Plenty loud enough let me tell you. Christ knows what it's like with it out. Im going to leave it in, not even going to bother trying harder to get it out.

Still trying to scrub the Maxxis in at the moment, but they feel great so far. Just gradually leaning a bit more and more. Will let you know when they are ready for some super-lean action (not that I'm the best at that either!).
 
i like it, looks how a can should, none of this slash cut hexagonal shortened megaphone moto gp nonsense.

whats the craic with the edge of them tyres? not seen anything like that before.
any good?

It's new matey - Maxxis Diamonds. Got good reviews and I was pleased with the Maxxis that were on the bike from when I acquired it so thought I would try 'em out.

As above, bit early to tell yet still driving miss daisy.
 
looks the business that mate......i know it sounds like theres an echo in here but them tyres look weird, not sure i'd trust em on track !
 
Can looks the bollox.
re.baffle removal,have you tried the old trick of knocking it out from the back with a wooden broom handle?
 
Keith & others calling me a pussy for not removing the baffle:

It really does not need removing! I was with you all big time, wtf do I need to leave the baffle in for? But now it's staying in. Its **** off loud as is peeps - trust me. People staring from 40yds in front loud. Any louder and I'd want an invisibility cloak or something.

Ropey looking tyre?? Maybe but it works - check out the reviews. Apparently it's a lot better than the normal Maxxis which was good enough for my mediocre riding. Therefore it's plenty good enough for me :)
 
take it out, i thought the same with my beowulf jobby,
Rode round with it in for 8 weeks , got real used to it and thought ,, WTF its coming out, and its stayed out ever since.
 
Keep it in ,we all think how great the bike sounds without baffles but you can be sure that everyone else is thinking what a dick. One of my non biking mates had a house that backed onto a bypass & on any sunny Sunday the windows used to rattle from hoards of unsilenced bikes ripping past, this made him very anti-bike ,he had a point in that you could hear the bikes comming about a mile away & the noise woke up his kids when they were small. Rant over, do what you want Stix mate after all Its your bike.
 
I love it when chaps get all excited about their new purchase's's's's's's's's's's's. Well done Sitx lad, glad your happy mate :thumbup




If you do want to know how to get the baffle out thou,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,:lol

Yeah thats what I thought about my Arrows.....then that little devil on my shoulder made me take the baffles out.:devil
(but then,I am a naughty schoolboy that never grew up!)
 
You know I'm going to try & take it out again just to see what it's like. However it really is loud as it is so it won't stay out :thumbup
 
took mine out from day 1 and theyve never been in since, its a safety thing, people can hear you coming ( honestly officer !! )
 
Q for those peeps better at the techy **** than me (i.e everyone). On my ride yesterday when I waited at lights etc could smell petrol. Guess that I need a different chip then after all?
