And now with DB Killer removed http://youtu.be/9mRzUqknzx0

I have now made two fairly simple videos of (not me at all) riding my bike with and without the standard Arrow DB Killer. Reason I made two videos is so that, if you want to compare, you can open both in different pages and view them together. Obviously it wasn't possible to do an exact...

Can't speak for the Akra as I've never even seen one. Things that put me off were the price and the difficulty in removing the DB Killers. On the other hand at least it's Yamaha approved so presumably wouldn't affect any warranty. As for the Arrow. It seems very well made, is relatively easy to...

I'm afraid I'm a hundred miles away though if you fancy a run down to Poole Quay biker night one Tuesday evening I could turn up there. Personal opinion though is just buy it, you won't regret it.

To be honest. It doesn't actually show you very much at all and there's no explanation/sound track to help. No mention of how or where the mounting points for the original system are or how and where he mounts the replacement silencer. No view at all of the lambda sensor (if his has one) Of...

Is it your video?

To be completely honest. I don't really think the MT(FZ) 07 is the right bike for distance work at motorway speeds. It's a streetfighter, not a tourer or cruiser. Having said that. I don't find vibration a problem and my arse seems to have got used to the seat. I'd be a little concerned at the...

Light nimble and punchy was what sold the MT (FZ) to me. Simple really. I don't find myself wringing the neck out of the thing and it has plenty of Oomph for what I want it for. So why buy a 150mph sports bike that you have to rev the nuts off? I neither need or want one. Only other bike I...

Further ideas to modify the sleeve... In order to make it easier to regulate the increase in volume level I am going to experiment with elongating the slots in the sleeve (with a file) so that they progressively line up with the holes in the baffle. The picture below should explain (hopefully).

Well... As no one else has posted... Might be pushing the point a bit though this pic could also have fitted in the landscape or biker meet sections. Picture taken on Poole Quayside the other side of the water to the Tuesday bikes on the quay thing and with Poole customs house just visible...

I want to do it so that it is adjustable so just adding holes won't work (though it would certainly get louder). You have however inspired me to a different idea... Below is a picture roughly explaining it. This time we drill holes almost the entire length of the BB Killer and then...

Part 2... Ideas on DB Killer modification Ideas on DB Killer modification The basic idea is to come up with a method of being able to increase the volume coming from the silencer but without completely removing the DB Killer. Also, with the ability to fairly simply manually vary the volume...

This thread is in two parts. The first is simply how to remove/replace the DB Killer (that's a baffle to us old guys). The next part will deal with my ideas to modify the original design to make a variable sound DB Killer. DB Killer Removal/Replacement. Pcture 1 First job is to pry off a...

Just wondered whether posting pictures uses up available web space/capacity on the forum? Personally I link from "Photobucket" or "Youtube" so I'd assume not. But if there are any issues can you let us know please.

Firstly I should say I didn't put this under "Versus the Competition" because that's not really the point of this thread. The idea is simply to see what other bike(s) people may own/have owned and how they compare to the MT. (But if a moderator wants to move it I've no objection). Not really a...

When I bought my bike (UK) I was told by the dealer that they had been told it was an "introductory" price although they had no idea of if and when and how much the price might rise. Of course this could have just been sales patter to get me to buy the bike there and then... Except they told...

Only just noticed this... Sorry. I'm Bournemouth based but oddly enough just about to set off for Hive Beach (near West Bay). Without the bike though camping in the van and (hopefully) catching some Mackerel for breakfast off the kayak. If you get bored, pop down and say hello. Van is pretty...

Just to say that having lived with the Arrow system for a little while and done a cross section of town and open road riding. (with the DB Killers in place) and the sound is certainly not oppressive. Indeed quite the opposite. Round town it gives enough noise to wake up car drivers you might be...

Yes, I experimented with that but found it was too low for my liking. Wouldn't take much time to do though so try it that way and see if you're happy with it. An alternative might be to space the silencer further out, but I wanted to tuck it in as far as possible. It's all a compromise in one...
