Right chaps, Busy weekend planned. Going to fit cocktail shakers plus 18 inch extensions, they need the baffles wrapping as they are far too loud as standard.... Then an SAI deletion to get rid of the popping on overrun and hopefully it will sort out the jerky throttle response too. Maybe a remap and limiter removal if I can work out how the software works. I'll let you know how it goes.
Yes, I'll be very interested in hearing how you get on, particularly regarding the cocktail shakers / extensions
Ok, I fitted the cocktail shakers and extensions from the classic bike shop. they were really LOUD, too loud in my opinion. I removed the baffles with a view to wrapping them and found that the baffles that come with the silencers are a straight cylinder and could not fit back into the silencers with baffle wrap on them. I got some different baffles that were thinner (see attached picture), wrapped them in baffle wrap, fitted them, and the bike now sounds awsome!!! I am really pleased with it now. I did find that they were popping loudly on overrun so I carried out the SAI deletion and that has cured that. I cannot reccomend this MOD enough. It has transformed the look and sound of my bike. I will try and get some pictures of my "new look" bike on here as soon as I can.
Yep your correct jez not much to it at all thread size is - 12 M x 1.25 (a nissan micra sump plug fits though they dont mention what year) together with copper washer and copper slip, leave the small pump in place and you dont need a resister(if you do then a 10 watt 50 ohm does the job) all then to do is plug the hole in the air box, Simples !!!! I think lol I will get round to it eventually as you say I also love the popping !! but as well as removing that it also stops the top of the header pipes from blueing so easily.
Kit consists of head bolts to cover holes from removed tubes air box bung resistor with two wires that connect to the removed pump wires once you cut off the plug. couple of copper washers and some copper anti seize paste I think !!!
The kit had two plugs, two washers, some copper grease, two plasti covers for the end of the bolts that hold the air valve, and a plastic wrap thing that I didn't use because I don't know where it went. Lol. The plugs were a better option for me as they are black and really flush as they are Allen tops.
Don't forget, the more flush the bolt (as in the kit from Triumph Twin Power) the easier the access will be to the spark plugs. BTW I've used the TTP kit to remove the SAI on my carb'd Speedmaster with no problems at all.
Not to bad, So am I correct yours is an EFI model, if so following the instructions you received with the kit you must have re- tuned your ECU afterwards is that correct ? (if you removed everything to do with the SAI, otherwise you would have the engine management light on)
My bike is the EFI. There were no instructions with the kit but I watched a YouTube video on how to do it. It took about 20 mins. I didn't need to remap the engine or anything as the ECU sorts thing out for you. I think I will go for a remap eventually though to make sure its running correctly. No engine management light either which pleased me.
The carb'd Speedmasters definitely have the SAI system. It was from 2007 that the new models came with the EFI. They also have different fuel tanks, a more flatter / wider tank than the carb'd bikes which is narrower and taller in comparison...
Arrhh Thats why you have no engine light then, because if you remove the pump and start the bike it will produce an engine light, you did that the same way as I would go, pump left in place is no big deal. The plastic wrap thing you had left over, was a piece of shrink wrap to cover over the pump's electric plug if removed !!!
