Hi I'm George , I am from India and I am 26 , the ST has always been a dream motorcycle , and I think I am very close to realising my dream . I found this forum online and wanted to unload a few questions that was bothering me . 1. How can I go about changing the exhaust (maybe a simple catdelete) without changing how it all looks visually ? I am trying to keep it on the down low . P.s. our cops are more than a little annoyed when it comes to aftermarket exhausts , but i still want the bike to be able to breathe better . Also how would this affect the ECU . I have heard its self learning ? Also would you recommend doing this because of the warranty ? 2. I was thinking of getting an aftermarket tailtidy , a radiator guard , crash bobbins , front and rear spindles and paddock stand bobbins . Evotech is a simple go to , but that being said getting parts in india is not very easy and is quite expensive because of import duties (the bike itself is a lot more expensive here ) . Do you think I should add any other accessories ? Any preferred brands ? 3. Lastly , what are the things I should look out for in terms of maintenance and overall longevity ? I do not plan on ever selling the ST . Ideally the goal is for this to be my daily while I hopefully have a liter class for the track .
Welcome! dyno tests have shown that a slip on does not produce more power on this bike and a few reduce it. All of your add ons I've also done and they are good ones. Here is what I got - https://www.ebay.com/itm/134903121477 https://www.ebay.com/itm/385762748973 Both real nice quality, don't let the price indicate otherwise. I also did crash protection, engine and frame. also eBay. Hopefully you can import from China.
