    if ur bike is FI and not carb then the ecu will make any changes needed

    if its carbs they may need re-jetting

    get some ear plugs ;D

    just before redline in 1st change gear fast as you can and POP BANG ;D love my can

    A slip on won't need re-jetting, being carbed it will bang/pop on the overrun nicely.

    If you were going for the perfect set up, you would balance the can with a more suitable air filter over standard and a dyno jet stage 2 kit, if not just fit the can and enjoy the new soundtrack re-jetting is installing suitable replacement jets into the carbs which will allow the fuel to be delivered at a rate which will balance the air filter and can over standard settings. Pops and bangs are merely unburnt fuel igniting, if you have any concerns, pop it down to Tim blakemore racing in Bristol, for £30 you can put it on the dyno run and this will provide you with a printout, giving you a full diagnostic.

    Just bolt on a slip on can. If you have a full system you may need to re-jet.

    Aside from the safety aspect ("loud cans save lives" and all that) a bike is *meant* to sound nice Cans are always the first thing I do to any bike I buy
