Hi all,

I have lasted about 2 weeks with standard cans on my 748 and I think it is time to unleash the noise!

Question is, do I need to get an upgrade chip for the ECU if I get some race cans (Termigs etc.)? I am not bothered about buying brand new (the bike is second hand after all) and quite a few sets are on flebay but some are without the chip. Unless of course someone here has a set for sale?

Will the bike run OK without? And while I think about it, what sort of differences are there between 45 and 50mm (apart from the size obviously)?

Thanks in advance guys

Hog
