Exhaust System Replacement

[Prof J]

My 2 cents: I did not install block off plates. Disabling in the ECU seems to work fine. You can get the butterfly actuator out fine with the battery in the bike. Nice write up.

PhukDD, you have a Vcycle flash from David, correct? I thought I read somewhere that having the Vcycle flash meant that the 'pair' setup 'should' be blocked/plugged/disabled was sort of a 'need', or maybe a 'have to'/highly recommended for the bike to perform best with his flash?

blocking a pair valve off does not affect performance directly. I recommend blocking the pair valve off on this bike with or without my flash. When it is active it creates a lot of heat in the exhaust. Heat is the enemy on this bike even more then most.

With the flash I force the valve closed but it can still leak, which is why it is still best to block it off or install block off plates

My understanding David, is with your exhaust setup and the Woolich software/your map, that I can fully remove the "exhaust butterfly valve actuator (motor)", which has two blue wire shielded connectors, providing in your Woolich map that in Advanced settings, "Disable exhaust valve servo motor" is checked.

Am I understanding this correctly?

Thank you

Thanks Champ87! Do you know what i would do with the hose coming off the engine that runs to the air Switching Valve Connector? Again thanks! If you go to Sturgis my wife and I will buy you a cold drink.
