Old man on a bike
Ok... time for an update. I just got back from my first ride and my thought was... pretty loud. It sounds like a tuned up sports car with the top down. A deep throaty sound and pretty *****in when you crank on the throttle. Way more barky than I expected. I finally adjusted to the change as I settled into a nice note at highway speed. I think I like it, but way different than what it was before. As for deceleration pop, all I hear is the put, put..put, put, put you would expect from a more open exhaust when you decel
Now I haven't change the tune from the Derestricting tune, but I swear the bike is more vicious than it ever was before. I dumped the throttle in the first three gears and it was hold on tight for the ride. Reports have it the PB crossover adds 3 more ponies but it could just be a reduction in weight as well. It will take a little adjusting to but I don't think I'm going to be returning it back to what it was. Next stop... the Ramair and a different tune, but I think I'll just adjust to it and enjoy it for right now
On one more note, my new Bridgestone Excedra Max is great. It feels good to have one back on the bike. I swear the Metzler was badly cupped when I took it off with only 4K on it giving me a rough ride. Finally smooth again at 85 mph. I love the BEM on the rear tire.
