Ex-box on a s2r1k

[Smokescreen]

So the Ex-box offers no increase in exhaust flow over the stock unit?  Or only marginal?

If ShiftSix is looking for any gains at all, he'd do well to enrich the already lean f/a mix.  Having said that, the cheapest way to do that in the normal rev range, is the O2 modifier... I think.

i've noticed no difference before/after with my x-box, except sound and weight savings

and better looking than stock, of course

I guess it's worth if for the better looking bit alone!  in truth, your ExBox is a little more sensible than the Arrow Ti pipes I've got.  Since they are round, unlike the stockers, you have to remove the cans to take off the rear wheel.  That....  Is irritating.

But the sound and the prettys make it all worth while

Minimal if the airbox lid is kept stock since the air flow bottleneck is the lid not the pipes.  That's why you need to remap if you open the lid.

i have arrows on my s4r and can get the rear wheel off without taking off the cans.

Boy, I wish I could.  It definately doesn't clear..  Didn't clear when I took off my 180, and didn't clear (even more) when I put on the 190.... 

Maybe....  It'd clear if it weren't on a rear stand to do wheel changes.  It's pretty close, so there's a possiblity that with the suspension extended it'd come out.

CDawg, that's interesting.  Mine runs the stock lid (K&N filter though) and open arrows most days, and she definately ran lean until I put on the O2 modifier.  Maybe (I'm guessing here) since the Ex-Box is not a straight pipe, it offers more back pressure.  However, since putting on the O2 modifier (in their "optimal" position) the bike runs a little rich when cold, and a tiny bit rich when warm.  I LOVE the backfiring under engine braking though!

I was only referring to the ExBox.  Arrows run lean w/o any modifications to the airbox.

Rear stand is not the issue.... have you lowered your bike   I have mine raised & I can get the wheel of no problem...... it helps to remove the bolt holding the cans to the frame....... gives you plenty of room.

It's not lowered, but it's not raised either.  Hoping to replace the crap rear shock before summer at which point I may raise the rear a few centimeters.  Maybe that'll help.  At least I don't think it's lowered.  The previous owner was taller than me....
