This afternoon, I managed to remove the baffle, with the well known and trusted mechanical maneouvre, namely a broom handle up the rear and prod it out. Fantastic I thought, at last I've got the stubborn SOB out. I then started up the bike and it was sweet as bro, a lovely deep bassey rumble. ;D ;D ;D ;D
Then went for a quick blat to see what she sounded like at revs. Got to the national limit just outside Wilton, opened her up and a lovely deep rumble as she hit 7-8 thou revs. All going well until I was cruising at about 3.5 thou revs, when I decided to open her up again and quickly turned the throttle and........nothing, nada, zip, nilch, niet, non...the bike just didn't respond and seem to lose compression. :o :o :o :o :o :o :o :o It was fine if you turned the throttle slowly, but open it full on and she didn't respond. Clearly the ECU couldn't handle the fuelling so a quick turn round to put the baffle back in. :( :( :( :( :(
Got home, went to put the baffle back in and it was just as stubborn going back in as it was coming out, but after some improvisation with the handle of a screwdriver and a hammer, it was replaced. Went for another spin and all fine. :) :) :) :) :) :)
So sadly it appears that the baffle will have to stay in, unless I want to pay for the ECU to be remapped, which is a real shame as she sounded sweet. :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'( :'(
