akrapovic sp cans o5 rsvr

you need to get the ecu tuned else it wont run right Karl

The bike is supplied ex-factory with the Siemens ECU set in Map 1 mode - this is a self learning mode which adjusts the bike to prevailing conditions every time it is ridden - it also uses the Lambda sensor in the exhaust to monitor emissions and adjust accordingly - I believe it is called a 'closed induction loop'. Map 2 is the 'race Map' and disables the Lambda sensor - it is important to switch to this mode as the bike will not then re-adjust every time you ride it - if you fit a Power Commander for example, whatever settings are put in by the Dyno Centre or downloaded by you will remain in effect - if you were to do this in map 1, the system would simply overide them and re-adjust itself. The bike is perfectly rideable in Map 1 mode with race cans fitted and will start etc however it may not run very smoothly or at least as smotthly as you would like - I mention this as it is perfectly OK to fit race cans and then arrange to go along to your dealer for a Map reset a week or two later.
