found bad news. was investingating the root of a bizarre occurence on the last sporty outing where my throttle randomly stayed open and scared the ***t out of me. i figured it was dirt and oil build up. pulled the air filter and started cleaning out the throttle body and wasn't able to push the flap in. reached up to the throttle on the bars and twisted it... it opened... and stayed open.... mystery solved... cables are nasty. tried some cable lube. helped a bit but, not enough. new cables ordered. .... fun times

gave it the college try
Probably some broken strands inside the throttle cable cover causing the binding.
Installed some 258W TTI's in my gutted stock exhaust. Can't wait to hear and feel the difference. It is snowing now so it will be a day or so before I can test them out. I could hear how they sound if I wanted but I don't want to **** off my wife as she is already allowing me to store the bike inside the dining room during the winter.

Looks like it will be a lot quieter in your neighborhood...lol.

Yeah for a little while until I can order a Bassani Road Rage 3 and the rest of the stage 1 upgrades. Hopefully the low end torque will keep me happy for the time being.

I got rid of the dining room table and chairs a few years ago, got in the way of the bike. Eat in the living room anyway, more comfortable.

Yeah but u got rid of the wife as well haha. I think I'll keep mine and build a shed for storage and to have a place to turn wrenches. Just don't have that going quite yet.

Got a break in the weather and I couldn't resist going for a ride. I must say the pipes aren't much more quiet than without the TTI'S. Nice deep rumble at idle and nice and loud when getting on it. Low end and middle range Torque was very noticably improved over stock baffles and the vance and hines baffles I tried to use at first. Definitely happy with this simple mod! This will hold me over until I can upgrade to a stage 1!
