I'm already going to be blaming TC for some other stuff 
so I might have to point the finger at Ponters for any internals. 
Or Bruce, or Peter. In any case, it won't be my fault.

Not that I would argue with Nev, ever - but is he sure it was the pistons and not the large K&N's that stopped the crickets.
Ponters filters are not only larger they're a different type, 'aint they?

On my beastie - YUP.
Still chirps a bit if I deliberately TRY to make it chirp - around 2800rpm under very light acceleration. But none of that harsh slapping at all. I want to bed the PCV tune it a bit more though as it's reduced over the initial test runs. Maybe I can lose it totally - but I'm not going to try and spin the rear wheel in the rain.
For some odd reason the exhaust sounds more raucous now too.
But let me sum it up.
The K&N's came off because I couldn't stand the noise.
The Ramair will be staying on.

Perhaps mate .. know he did say the pistons played a part. Not 100% sure which filters Ponters runs. My mate Donny has a 'hot cam' in his RIII with the stock pistons and exposed large K&N's .. the chirping on his is just about unbearable. I asked Nev why one bike was noisy and one not.

A Cure 
not for AIDS , male pattern baldness or even the common cold !!!
Way more important to mankind than that
Ozrider in his wisdom has discovered a cure for 'induction chirping ' .. hoo-f#ckin-ray
Bolted Les's prototype bear-claw onto my bike today and rode home .. not a chirp. Still have the K&N's on but with Les's claw the problem is solved.
Apologies Mr K&N for all my harsh words .. bad, bad bearclaw it seems .. i'm stoked !!!
