A few exhaust facts.

1) all 749, 999 std exhausts are the same.

2) the "race" can will fit onto the std or de-cat front pipe and run.

3) In my opinion, if your shelling out for the "race" system, which remains assymetrical, you might aswell spend a little more, and get a proper balanced system.

4) If you upgrade the exhaust, hell, even if you want your std bike to run correctly, id say have a PC 111 usb, and a bit of dyno time.

5) If you do the pc route, you dont need a new CPU, as the fuelling can be set with the PC!!

6) If you go the non Termi route, ie with another make, you dont get a cpu, so need the PC anyway!

Unless - of course , you have a 749R.

Choices are - full 57mm termi or equivalent.....that's it !

Alternatively you 'do it yourself' with an assymetric system from another model...although I hear that Termi will be making an assymetric system specifically for the 749R this year.

I don't know what other options are available given that the 749R has a deep sump and a fabricated swinging arm ?

yup, ill give you that. I was refering to the cast swing arm models........

Sorry for coming across as an anorak there !

Just wondered if anyone knew of any viable alternatives for the 749R.
I'd like a balanced system but - hey call me cheap - but I don't want to shell out the best part of 2.5K and a termi or a Leo system

Also - agree with you about the CPU issue.

I had a 996S before my 749R and I couldn't get it to run properly using DP chips.
Put a PC on it and it ran really smoothly after being set up an the dyno.

My dealer suggests that a new CPU isn't really necessary.

my 749r has the assymetric system

Hey Pedro is your 749R running problem sorted now?

no not yet,its having a new wire loom tomorrow,jhp is conifident this is the route of it,nought to do with termi etc,just a faulty loom.done by end of week.

I,ve got the assymetric ordered for my 749R.

Apart from the noise - was there any noticeable difference with the new system ?

u have u2u
