Title: Termi's are on. Post by: andym on February 06, 2009, 12:08:25 PM I have finally purchased a set of carbon Termi's for the 696. ;D [moto]
I will be fitting them tomorrow morning. I think they should be easy enough to fit, it's just getting to the ECU and air filter that seams a pain. Do I have to 'prepare' the air filter or does it go straight in from the box? If anyone wants to pop round whilst I'm doing this just let me know. [beer] Title: Re: Termi's are going on.

The ECU and air filter aren't all that tough to get to on the monsters... hell you don't have to deal with fairings! Just be sure to have less than 1/2 a tank of fuel when you raise it to access the filters/ECU area. IIRC all the parts for your exhaust are "plug 'n play" Cheers Title: Re: Termi's are going on. Post by: RichD on February 06, 2009, 01:17:40 PM You need to reset the TPS on the new ECU for it to be perfect...
I have the hardware/software to do it if you want. -R Title: Re: Termi's are going on. Post by: dallas2r on February 06, 2009, 01:25:43 PM I have the hardware/software to do it if you want.

Post by: webspoke on February 06, 2009, 01:31:21 PM If the filter needs oiling they should provide oil with the kit, otherwise it should be good to go. Looking forward to hearing it!

From what I have read the TPS on the 696 resets automatically. If this is incorrect I'd love the help.I have the hardware/software to do it if you want. -R Title: Re: Termi's are going on.

It does have that new Siemens ECU - that would be a nice feature. Title: Re: Termi's are going on.

Post by: dallas2r on February 06, 2009, 03:30:43 PM Very cool mod. You'll be riding around just to hear the sound! You can't rightly hear the sweet sound if you're on the bike riding it. Let me ride it for you so you can hear it properly. ;D [moto] Title: Re: Termi's are going on.

Post by: andym on February 07, 2009, 10:13:37 AM Well that was easy, it only took 2 hours and I have a hangover... [drink] [coffee]
They look and sound great, I can't wait to really try them out. [moto] [thumbsup] Title: Re: Termi's are on. Post by: LYD on February 07, 2009, 12:25:26 PM hello PICTURES!!!!

The Siemens ECU is the big question there... I'm not sure about the auto-reset ...but it is possible. Ask around, and I'll do the same. [thumbsup] Title: Re: Termi's are on. Post by: calscrazy on February 07, 2009, 03:17:14 PM engine brake baby!!!! yeah!!! let's hear 'em!!!!
Title: Re: Termi's are on. Post by: andym on February 08, 2009, 01:27:12 PM Just got back from a little spin, oh yes they sound good. [moto]
One problem though, I live and park on the 5th floor and I got a headache riding through the garage, oh well I guess I'll get used to it but lets hope the neighbours don't complain, too much. [evil] Title: Re: Termi's are on. Post by: Sleeper_I on February 08, 2009, 01:34:02 PM You can take the elevators!

Post by: andym on February 08, 2009, 01:51:59 PM You can take the elevators! I kidd, I kidd ;D ear plugs or noise cancellation ear buds might help..... maybe?! All the times I was in Stockholm and I never tried that. I did actually use the lift once for my bike, I had her parked here over Christmas and there are steps to the garage on the 5th floor but not on the fourth, so down we went. ;) I always ride with ear plugs and there is no way I'll be able to forget them now. :D Title: Re: Termi's are on. Post by: Cyclone on February 08, 2009, 01:56:24 PM ;D Are you getting a noticeable performance boost too ? ;D
Title: Re: Termi's are on. Post by: andym on February 08, 2009, 02:06:23 PM ;D Are you getting a noticeable performance boost too ? ;D I have not opened her up yet but it's all much smoother. I can now 'growl' along at 4000 rpm doing 40mph, before she hated that and would jump around and wouldn't calm down till around 5500 rpm. The power is instant now too, just a slight twist and that car that was in front is now way behind. Title: Re: Termi's are on.

Post by: bryant8 on February 08, 2009, 07:12:20 PM Did the TPS reset it self?
Title: Re: Termi's are on. Post by: andym on February 09, 2009, 07:44:21 AM Did the TPS reset it self? I think so, she runs like a dream. Is there any other way of knowing if it is not set correctly? Title: Re: Termi's are on. Post by: fastwin on February 09, 2009, 08:31:31 AM If it runs great then don't take it in!!! They will for sure find something wrong that will cost a lot of money to fix. If you think it runs great, maybe even better than before and it doesn't pop like crazy on decel then leave it alone and be very happy. There... I just saved you a bunch of money and increased your happiness. [thumbsup]
Title: Re: Termi's are on. Post by: ♣ McKraut ♣ on February 09, 2009, 08:43:23 AM i would really put it through some testing, though... to see if it's popping, etc. i initially though when i put the arrows on that i was out of the woods, but i do notice some distinct popping now on hard decel... i'm not sure if it will get any better or worse as temps start to rise.
