I'm about to put a deposit down on a Speed Triple R :D

It comes with the Arrow slip on exhausts with removable baffle/db killer. Can I just remove them without remapping or anything like that? Should I be breaking the bike in before removing it?

Thanks.

If you plan on running with no baffle full time then remap, but if it's just for the occasional play don't bother.
 
They used to put on a special map with the arrows end cans from new. Meant to use up a fair bit more fuel but you can remove the baffles with no issues.
 
I have a Street Triple with Arrows. I find that with the baffles in it's too quiet, with them out it's too loud so I cut the blank ends of the baffles off and now it's perfect. Even runs better too.

The arrow map cripples performance by a good couple of bhp. Most people with aftermarket exhausts including the official arrows leave the stock map for the extra power even though you lose 1-2 mpg.

Would that be noticeable on the road though? They claim a 3ps performance increase with the db killer removed, whatever that means.

In fact, maybe that's answered my question... on the Triumph site, they even say "up to 3ps with the db killer removed" which kind of says to me that it's fine to take it out without remapping? Lots of different answers everywhere though, some saying you should remap some say not :confused:

The engine shouldn't need a remap with any exhaust or baffle changes if they're only slip-on cans.

The engine remap is a "just in case" thing they do at the factory to bring everything back down to the official power levels and emissions.

It also stops all the amazing pops you get on overrun :(
 
When a I bought my Tiger the salesman was keen to sell an Arrow exhaust but even though I'm a southerner both my parents were northerners and though I have a proper accent, :p, I did get northern tightness in my genes so there was no way I was paying Triumphs price.
 
Well you'd have to be mad to buy a new bike so they probably thought they could have you on the Arrows too :p

Leo Vince are excellent and around 1/4 the price of the official Arrows!
