Interesting that the db killer didn't make much difference. My 899 (Termignoni pipes) was ridiculously loud without the DB killer in there, I mean totally offensive - it would set off security alarms as I drove past parked cars. I put the DB killers in after a couple of days and it made loads of difference, still loud enough to let people know you are there (and sounds awesome over 6k rpm with the throttle WFO) but not so loud that you wake up the entire neighbourhood when you set off early. Nice one. I was surprised that the noise wasn't vastly increased so they being left out. Like the blue flames. About 8 years ago I had a Street Triple R in Singapore with aftermarket Zard cans. It is extremely strict in Singapore regarding vehicle mods. The Zards had to be registered and inspected prior to a certificate being issued. Anyway, one the DB killers fell out a long the way so I took the other out to make a pattern copy for the now missing can. It sounded so nice that I decided not to put them back in. Then I was pulled up by an LTA officer (basically looks like a cop on a cop bike but there only job is to regulate modified vehicles and act accordingly). He took me directly to a test centre and made a report. Fine was $500 which is about B12000. Given 6 days to rectify it and appear for reinspection. Ouch. Will be going to the Thai Motogp on the 939. Just purchased 5 x tickets in the Ducati stand for a super bargain price of B2700 each. Not all things Ducati are expensive.

I'm not sure if the unit has an internal battery for this, or if it relies on the bikes battery (there are 3 cables to wire in the Camera unit - 1 to the negative, the Live into the fuse and 1 directly to the live battery terminal) I'm not certain, but suspect that if there is any 'over ride' it may result in corrupt files when turning off the ignition and now powering down the camera unit properly. Well found the bike battery dead yesterday, ordered one of these up, still not happy to find the battery drained though.....Grrrr!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post guzzi850m2 Posted June 6, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted June 6, 2019 Fitted R&G rear hugger on the XSR900. Don't understand the original rear fender is so short, see that on many new bikes now? Original one is basically useless. Both made of plastic so not any weight increase worth mention. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thaiguzzi Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 Last trip from Blighty i bought some nice bar end mirrors, and genuine and pattern copy Biltwell h/bar grips for my street bikes and my lad's KSR. When fitting h/bar grips with bar end weights or mirrors, you need to open the closed end. First pair i did with a Stanley knife. They worked, but the hole was naff. Although once fitted nobody could see it, i knew it was there. So i looked on the net, and lo and behold there is a tool for it (just like there is a tool for everything). A threaded drift with two mandrels, 1" and 7/8", for throttle side and L/H side, that screw onto said drift. One hit with a hammer and hey presto - neat round hole in the end. Prices range from $17 -$20ish. Not bad, but postage to here was $39 and i aint paying that. Time to get in the shed and get creative... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ktm jeff Posted June 11, 2019 Share Posted June 11, 2019 (edited) I fit my grips , leave overnight to fully cure , then , using a scalpel / long slim hobby knife , cut out the end using the end of the bar as a guide. Or buy "lock-ons". Edited June 11, 2019 by ktm jeff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The biggest part of the job was running the cables (particularly from the front - I had to remove every piece of trim !) While away for 4 weeks my battery had been drained (even though I did not have the cam in park mode it still drains some power - this is also covered as an issue on the INNOVV website / forum) - my solution is to rely on a CTEK battery tender while away for more than a couple of weeks. I just got done installing the replacement power converter (redesigned) that Rock Liu at INNOVV sent me, so here is to hoping that this battery drain issue is either mitigated, or gone forever. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
