    Akrapovic exhausts

    will the 2014 akrapovic stubby fit the stock headers on a 2015?

    Installing Akrapovic Full system

    Quick Question- should you replace exhaust gaskets or are they normally ok to reuse? (I've got 1000 miles on clock)

    Slick mode on a Sport "non pro"

    Dealer put my slick plug in when I collected it. I wish it did bypass the limiter, but sadly that only comes after the first 600 and a service!

    Racefit

    I've had 4x Racefit growlers in the past. Always kept baffle in as it never made a great deal of difference to power (proven on dyno, if my memory serves me correct there was approx 1.5bhp difference), but just took the rasp off the noise to make it tolerable. Quite probably the best made...

    Is this Right?

    After a short ride today I was wiping down my bike and noticed that the front axle nut at the left side didn't look to be right through the nut. Can anyone with a 2013/2014 bike please take a look and see if theirs looks the same as this please? (how many threads you can see showing) - both...

    I forgot to add; Crystal Serum comes with a 7 year warranty too.... :-)

    My 1st S1000RR has Arrived!

    One thing I wouldn't recommend is applying Crystal Serum yourself. If you get it wrong, the only way to get it off is to wet sand it... The guy I use is mobile and covers the whole country, even works in the USA coating private aircraft. His name is Adam Wright, his web site is...

    1st Service

    I was out the other week on my pre reg 2014 s1000rr; I passed a bloke on a Gixxer 6 who was riding like miss daisy, only for him to be a straight line hero and blitz past me on a dual carriageway when I was stuck on the limiter.... I bet he was grinning from ear to ear...

    Chain cleaner

    I used to use the wurth dry lube, but decided to try the Motul C1, C4 & C5 as i found some selling fairly cheap on ebay. Was very impressed in its ability to remove the factory crud on my 2014 S1000RR, spray it on, leave it 10 mins then wipe off. The C4 is a thin film spray that dries in half an...

    My 1st S1000RR has Arrived!

    It was a freebie at work as I've put a lot of work his way. I would expect on a new bike it to be around ?150 to ?200 for full coverage though. :-)

    My 1st S1000RR has Arrived!

    Finally had the GTechniq EXO and Crystal serum applied. The finish on the wheels is like glass! Best thing I've ever done. So easy to clean and any crud just wipes off. If anyone wants info on the stuff let me know. Its certainly something you don't want to diy apply though. :-)

    Anyone using the Abba Skylift?

    Just spent the majority of the day cleaning and polishing, degreasing and re-greasing chain etc... I'm still waiting for my paddock stand bobbins to arrive, so I fashioned some from a couple of bolts, penny washers and nuts as spacers. I have an old set of the purple Micron stands, and I was...

    S1000rr Insurance!! Who's the best

    186 fully comp (pro-rata) with Hastings Direct. Stayed with them for ease only. Was a bit disappointed as I was expecting less than 150 quid (42 & 7 yrs NCD)... will change at the end of the policy I think.

    Help - end can / full exhaust?

    I think this gives me my answer; thanks guys. Time to get on the search for a set of standard headers and decat them I think... :-) 110db is too much. - Do they do a baffle for the Akra shorty?

    Help - end can / full exhaust?

    Hi All, Firstly apologies for hijacking this thread but I wasn't sure where to put this query. I've managed to get my hands on a set of Akrapovic s/s headers and the stubby titanium can. Quite a bargain. I've been speaking to a few tuners and the general consensus I've learned is that the...

    My 1st S1000RR has Arrived!

    Its a special type of paint protection that you can have professionally applied. Force India F1 used it last year and it proved itself. Only certain detainers can get hold of the product as if it is applied incorrectly you have to wet sand to remove it. Google GTechniq and you will see....
