I hear ya. You know him better than anyone here. I just meant that there was no small enexpensive part on the way to exhaust. So if you weren't looking to spend a bunch, but I see he has a better friend than me! Oh and if I got some cash from a friend on my birthday, I would be elated, but we are all different.

Fuel injected bikes tend to idle higher than Carbed bikes, getting down to 980 rpms is tough to do. Below that your not pushing enough oil. BT's can drop lower in R's getting the true potato sound.

+1 on what he said.

The EFI bike will never sound quite like the carbed version but new pipes will still give it a nice rumble

An EFI bike with a good fuel controller and map will. Mine idles when warmed up between 980 and 1050 rpm. Has a cammed potato sound.
