Full akra system

[markashford82]

Hi guys looking at buying a 21 plate msport.It has the full akra fitted by bmw from new.The guy hasn't had this set up on the dyno as he said it would void the warranty.Is there any issues I should be aware of before viewing.

Cheers Mark.

Full akra from factory would have cats thus stock map still applies.

Then it wasn't fitted at the factory.

Might have been dealer fitted...but thats different.

Map's are detectable, and will void a warranty where there is a clear link between the failure and the ECU.

Alex sorry it was fitted at the dealer and the owner didn't have it mapped because of the voiding of the warranty.Not having been through this before just wondered before viewing if this is normal.

I think you'll be fine as long as it still has the sensors in the exhaust

My understanding is that you do not need it mapped it is self learning and will run fine.

As above the bike runs wide band sensors

Thanks guys put my mind at rest if I buy it where would you guys recommend to have it mapped and are the benefits worth doing it for.

When I was buying a new 22 RR I asked 2 dealers about fitting Akra headers, and what the warranty situation would be, they were a bit vague about it, but when pressed said if there was a serious engine problem, BMW could theoretically decline a warranty claim. I don't know if noisy exhausts without cats are road legal, but I decided I didn't really want to alert every traffic plod that I was approaching, and might be speeding too.

How does it go mot wise would they demand the original exhaust to fitted to get it through emissions?

I don't believe there is a specific emmissions test for motorcycles.

As above, it?s down to the discretion of the tester with regards to how loud it is and whether it has the relevant stamp, road legal, not for road use etc etc. I think the correct stamp is usually the BS AU stamp.

Done my first mot last month with full system on. And only got an advisory for noise. And mine is very loud so was expecting it

 

[mattals]

There are currently no Emissions Test on MOT for bikes...Well not yet anyway Lol.

If it changes we will all be stuffed

 

[Sam76]

We won?t be stuffed just means sticking the cat back on just for the mot.

Traffic police might have something to say about that.

I asked about warrenty if i changed exhaust and mapped it.
Apparently changing exhaust alone wouldnt void warrenty but mapping would.
Which is strange since mapping it to suit would be safer option for the engine

 

[pauly]

BMW UK told you that about the exhaust?

A salesman at bmw told me
