Slightly off topic + 140

Finished initial pimping v1.0 project with a new set of cans, cf exhaust sheilds, tail tidy, illegal rego holder and red plate

I have asked Santa for a set of Rizoma Spy-R's as I'm not a big fan of those dragonfly mirrors.

Awesome cans! I prefer those to the all carbon fibre ones actually. I swapped my stock mirrors for the all black rizoma class retro bar end mirrors, so much clearer and they dont vibrate no where near as much as the stock ones do & they look brilliant too.
Btw where did you get your tail tidy from? Love the look of it!

  looks awesome, i will pick up my 659 monday midday and can't wait. i have a few questions for 659 owners out there. Has anyone decided to remove the throttle stop?? i previously owned an ER6NL and the throttle stop was a torque screw in the throttle body, a 35 second job to remove and boom full powered. I know ducati have shown a bit more intelligence and put a plate there but it looks quite difficult to remove. i'm only 21 years old so i have a 3 year wait period on a full powered bike im just interested to know how a 659 goes unrestricted*** and how it was removing the stop.
cheers guys

Hi bjohnmac,
I have had my 659 since June and have thought several times about moving the throttle stop.
honestly even with it there the bike is quite quick, but i am looking forward to taking it off.
I had my first service two weeks ago and spoke to the mechanic.I asked what the restriction where, was it just the stop, or was the ECU restricted as well?
Yes it is both.
I will be getting an ECU flash when i get my new pipes, and he said you should get double the power.


But otherwise its a great bike.

i finally got my last bit of Carbon Fiber today.

Pics coming soon.

Awesome... I got my M659 today, picked it up from frasers sydney this morning. Put 160 ks on it today and it's a fantastic bike, caught a lot of peoples eye and sounds unbelievable. I have on order carbon termignoni pipes already and will be fitted on it's first 1000 ks service that includes air filter and ECU and honestly cannot wait. my dad has them on his streetfighter and im so jealous  i have seen a few photos up on here of attempts at removing the throttle stop and looks like a complete hack job. i know the 659 is stroked differently to the 696 but it would be interesting to see how it went simply without the throttle stop. im not at all a fast rider and quite honestly more about looking after and maintaining my bike than racing, but would love to know that i have full power at the twist of my right wrist LOL

Will it still be under LAMS regs with the termi's on? Or are these the new LAMS friendly termis people have been talking about?

i do not believe there is a 'lams friendly' termi exhaust. this will put it over lams regulations but am willing to run the risk for the sound  

[Tikfd6]

By all reports they are LAMS friendly with all noise and no extra power.
But you should be able to get a Tune later.

Do you mind if i ask how much the Termi/ECU/Filter costs?

Im still deciding weather to get slip ons for mine or not, i was looking at either akrapovic or arrow. I just want to unleash more of that sound!
