You should send the aftermarket rr back and order a genuine shindingen rr from roadstercycle.com Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

This almost sounds like you have a two brothers or erion racing header, which has a slightly angled outlet. I have one of those headers mounted on a sixth gen with a sixth gen slip on. What I did was cut the slip on's mid pipe, adjusted the angle and then welded. That's what I would do. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

I put mine in 1st gear and had my wife sit on it while holding both brakes, then broke all the nuts and bolts loose, before putting it on the stand and removing the wheel/caliper/chain/sprocket etc... First gear alone might be enough with a good impact gun, but without an impact you will probably want/need to have a buddy sit and mash the brakes.

Just to add to it, you will need a 46mm socket and torque to 152ft/lbs. Probably going to want a 3/4 inch 6 point impact socket, a big ass 3/4 breaker bar or impact driver and a big torque wrench that reads over 200 ft/lbs.

Bump, because this is a great thread and my axle nut just started backing out.

Depending on the O2 sensors being used, you can have 1, 2 or 4 fuel maps. I am using 4 wide band O2 sensors, so I have an individual fuel map for each cylinder. Now if you keep the 2 factory narrow bands, you will have two fuel maps. If you install one wide band O2 sensor, you will have one fuel map. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

No, Rapid Bike is a piggyback controller. They are basically the Italian equivalent of power commander and bazzaz. The Rapid Bike Racing module has some extra features over anything offered by power commander and bazzaz though, because it is able to intercept and adjust the crank position sensor input, you can adjust the ignition mapping, add launch control and traction control etc. It is also self tuning via the factory narrow band o2 sensors or optional wide band o2 sensors. I have had mine for almost three years and its been great. Here I will try to post up some higher quality photos of the ignition mapping: 6th gen ignition map from 4,200-12,200 Rpms. You can see there is 4 to 5 degrees of advance being added on top of the factory ignition mapping from around 3,000-8000 RPMs, so there is boat loads of extra low and midrange torque to be made on the 6th gens. 6th gen ignition map from 1,600-10,000 Rpms 5th gen Ignition mapping, which is a completely different story. The fifth gens will take 2 to 3 degrees in the partial throttle, low rpm range and when the throttle is open, 1 degree from 8500-redline.

This is the Rapid Bike ignition map. It shows the added advance on top of the factory ignition map. This should add a decent amount of low end, some mid and little bit up top. I cant figure out why the picture quality is so low on here. It is perfect on my phone. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

Wow is that a programmable stand alone ECU? Where was this 5 years ago when I really needed it lol?! I was searching desperately for a way to tune the ignition mapping on my 2007 vtec for years before I found Rapid Bike. Now there really isn't much need for it as Rapid Bike Racing can easily tune the fuel and ignition mapping on all 1998 and up VFR800's. I can tell you for a fact that the VTEC models respond even better to ignition advance than the older fi models. The fi models only seem to take up to 3 degrees of additional advance in the lowend, while the vtec models can take about 4-5 degrees through the whole low and midrange. I am wondering if that is why my bike and mohawks bike didnt lose any low and midrange with the Two Brothers header, because the advance brought it right back?

Motad vs Two Brothers header. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

The thing is, his dyno is showing going from a Motad header (similar to the 98/99) to the Two Brothers header. Not that I am a big fan of Motad, but supposedly they are better than the +2000 factory headers. Maybe the Two brothers didn't make anymore power, maybe the Motads are just terrible lol.

Oh wow thats pretty cool. Reminds me of a V-Rod.

Going for even more topend?

This is some good stuff.

Lol guilty as charged. Sorry I don't mean to be a dick, I just really don't like those exhausts. Sent from my Nexus 6 using Tapatalk

But adding 6-10 hp on top of his previous dyno should be within reason. I remember his last Dyno run being very cold, in the 40s or 50s, so that might count against this run (even though all runs will be converted to std conditions), so I am going with 112+6= 118whp.

Yeah he isn't using a Rapid bike, so tuning will be the normal, single fuel map. No ignition timing or individual cylinder tuning will be done...

Dont get me wrong, I love hearing a quality open exhaust on a healthy V4 as much as anyone else, but an overly loud ebay pipe that doesnt do much for performance, doesnt do anything for me, especially an overly loud ebay exhaust with a baffle in it that is more than likely restricting power and making fart noises. I am all for quality, name brand exhausts, that don't need a restrictor in place, to be at a reasonable volume.

well thats one way to look at it lol

I just don't see the point in changing out the restrictive factory muffler for a straight through race muffler, only to put a restriction back in it, because said muffler was too low of quality to bring the noise level down to a reasonable range. With a high quality Akropovic/ Arrow/ Leo/ etc, you can still have the performance of a straight through race muffler, without the overly loud race noise. The Akro slipons sound very good, with out being obnoxious and sound pretty much stock with the restrictor in. The delkivics, on the other hand, sound very farty with the restrictor in, while still being fairly loud and probably flowing the same or worse than the factory muffler.

Lol dude must be on steroids huh?

I'll paypal you $5 if you vlog yourself walking up to him and say "Bro you're missing a brake and I think your suspension is broken".

Beautiful! I am surprised you can let it go after all that hard work and how nice it came out.Hopefully you make a few bucks and it goes to a good home.

This is coming along beautifully. Cant wait to see some dyno action tomorrow!
