I am breaking a new 2018 RC and really enjoying the hell out of it. My last three sport/track bikes were all 170+ HP liter bikes. Since I was the chase bike for my friends videography company I needed something really fast. For several years that was fun and the trackdays were free. When the company folded, I moved on to other things.
I decided to get a bike I could ride at full throttle on the street and not get thrown in jail. That is where the RC comes in. I'm loving the bike, and this is kind of trivial, but the sound of the thing strike me as a bit sad. I'd like to put an akra cat eliminating on it to loose a little weight and get a bit more of a moto3 sound out of the little bugger.
I've read a ton of posts about changing the fueling of the newer, 17-18 bikes, and see that there a bunch of products. From their perspective of riding the bike, I'm finding the fueling fine. My question is, has anyone measured to air/fuel with the newer model bike with the akra cat eliminating slip on and found that it runs dangerously lean? I've read a bunch, but haven't seen this.
For people who are racing it or just want more power, I'm sure mapping the closed and open loops is worth the time and money. But if it won't hurt the bike, I'd just as soon act like a squid and just install a slip on for better sound and be done with it.
Many thanks,
Rob
