Cheers mate,
The Akra is on order and so will the link pipe,
Question guys, ( I know it's in the wrong place but in new )
Did you guys fit the can and link pipe before the first service ( does it matter )
And does it need a re map for both ?
Thanks,
Craig.
I waited till id ran mine in, no reason really, just aqainting myself with the first bike ive owned with electronics, didnae find runnin in a chore anyhoo, 6000 revs for 600 miles is about 110 mph as I recall, and then 8 thou for another 400 miles, soon had it rattled off , ive not mapped it yet and it runs and sounds epic, it is loud with my set up, dunno how loud but I don't care anyhow, ive heard ( on the Yank forum) the arrow is 112 db with no baffle and that sounds about right hehe,you really need the decat to get any noise and too save weight so if its too loud for ya youll need to get a baffle sorted for that there Akra lol, oh and order a exup eliminator as youll be ditching that and youll need tae plug it in to avoid a Fi light in the dash
, I took mine off , pees a pish job.
Cheers for the info mate,
Is it 1000 mile running in process wtf
Yep, all R1's have a thousand mile run in, some people on here do it like Donny has, I'm included in that group, others will thrash them from the off, opinion is divided on that subject, but fir me, im happier running the new engine in and 1,000 miles ain't that far anyway.

My last 4 new bikes I have run in pretty hard, Deffo not by the book but nothing too ragged either, and I have had no issues with any of them I normally run them gently for the first 200-300 miles them I'm away lol I'm too impatient
