    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

So I did a couple mods on the bike and I have to say it responds pretty well. At the moment I have Emgo pods and I believe Mac 4 to 1 exhaust. I used 120 minkuni main jets. From reading I heard the Emgo pods are crap, but I didn't know that when I bought them. I ordered some k&n filters.

My questions are will I have to rejet again for k&n filters? Also for the exhaust does the baffles normally come without packing? How much quieter does it make the bike with the exhaust packing?
 
I took my exhaust system (Wolf Racing) off the bike a few weeks ago to apply a few coats of Flameproof VHT, and took the opportunity to re-wrap the baffle. I got the fiberglass here...(great folks to deal with!).
Anyway, I'm pleased with the results...while the system wasn't offensively loud to begin with (it still had about 1/3 the amount of the original packing inside), I wanted to reduce the sound level a bit for highway running, which it seems to have done. I would say the most noticeable differences are at idle, where the bike burbles softly, and at steady-throttle cruising on the highway, where the sound is much more mellow. Under hard acceleration past 5000 rpm, typically when the Wolf is in full cry, there appears to be very little difference. It also seems to have picked up some mid-range power, but I'm not sure if this is real, or imagined.....just feels more torque-y. :)
Re. the pods, I would just throw the new ones on, and see how it runs...probably check the plugs for colour, and go from there. The EMGO's apparently don't flow as consistently as the better filters.

Tony.
