  1. My biggest concern is wind noise, I have an AGV Corsa R helmet and the wind noise is terrible, even with earplugs. I don't mind the buffeting and I will take the stock screen off tomorrow and see what difference it makes but the noise is the most tiring part of riding for me.
  2. My Tracer is only 2 and a half years old and still has the original battery, but my FZ6 Fazer which I bought new in 2004 only had the original battery replaced after 11 years, including over a year where it wasn't started once. I have an Optimate 3+ that the Fazer is permanently connected to when not being ridden, which is most of the time. It only has 57,000 km on the clock after almost 16 years so it hasn't worked hard.
  3. I have a Givi accessory catalog and it shows that the V47 can take 2 x flip up type helmets. There are 2 different helmet icons in the catalog and the V47 icon is not a full face. Compare the helmet icons on the 2 different box specs below. Although, the dimensions suggest that the V47 is a bigger case, it must be a shape issue.
  4. I have a Givi Monokey plate on my Tracer and my Fazer, and two boxes, an E52 Maxia and a B33. Unfortunately I discovered while miles from home that the E52 doesn't accommodate 2 AGV Corsa helmets, before I bought my Corsa R I had an X-Lite 802 and it fitted in easily with my wife's Corsa. Must be the aero fin on the back of the helmets.
  5. I had the dealer remove the centre stand while they were assembling the bike pre-delivery, I don't like the look of the other pipe.
  6. Do the Tracer and the naked 09 have the same stock exhaust?I looked on Ron Ayers and they have different part numbers but the Akrapovic on my Tracer is actually for the naked and it fits perfectly.I want to sell the stocker so it will help to know if it fits both.
  7. Well I plugged the hose leading under the tank as described in the opening post and just left the other one open to atmosphere from the bottom of the tank, put everything back together and the bike runs fine. I haven't taken it for a ride yet as it is raining today but hopefully all is well and it won't strand me somewhere! Happy new year! 🥳
  8. I am unable to locate the mentioned rollover valve to be able to complete the installation. Can anyone supply pictures of where this item is?
  9. Mine came as a complete system and I'm not sure what material the headers are made from, but they do have a blueish tinge in parts after 8,000km. Akrapovič
  10. My bike has this box under the tank... what is it for? EDIT: I guess it is the aforementioned charcoal canister but I live about as far away from California as you can get so I don't know why it is there, can I safely toss it?
  11. here's a better (and more recent) pic after I took the hand guards off.
  12. I have the carbon Akrapovic on my Tracer, looks great and sounds amazing!
  13. The link in your post takes me back to the forum home page, can you provide a better route to the thread? I have a split soundbomb that I have no idea how to mount.
  14. I have a Stebel Nautilus on my Fazer and I want to put one on the Tracer but I don't just want to hang it under the triple clamp, is there space in the area in front of the tank? My Fazer's is inside the fairing, invisible but very audible.
