I installed this thinking I'd gain a little top end and drop a couple pounds. I had some trouble with the installation, but I got it resolved. I wish I had orderd the high mount now, but I'll live.
First off, it actually seems quierter than my Micron because the tone is higher and more metalic. It's not a smooth, but it sounds more like a 600 wihtout being too raspy.
The power.. is super smooth. I mean way smoooth. It's feels like brand new bike. The power delvery is so smooth it feels slower until you watch the tach and look at the speedo. 3 or 4 HP isn't huge, but it's noticeable.
The best improvement is the softness of the throttle transition. The only thing you feel is a very slight bump from drivetrain slack, but nothing from the motor. This is going ot make it even easier to ride on the track.
The only minor complaint. There is a flat spot from 3000-4500 followed but a surge at 5000. So if you're accelerating through a turn at low speeds or from a stop, it can catch you off guard a little.
I can't wait to get this thing on the dyno.
Better yet, I can't wait to get this thing on the racetrack.
I can't say enough about how smooth the throttle response is. You can barely feel on/off throttle transitions. i was expecing it to maybe get worse. You never expect to gain driveabiity at low RPM's with a race pipe.
