Update. At last it seems that delkavic have got act together and are now advertising the Decat pipe and a choice of end cans for the V strom 1000 2014-2018.
You will see the price varies depending on which end pipe you select, but the price has surprised me, they are far cheaper than I thought they would retail at. If you follow the links you can see my actual Bike on a rolling road when they were setting it all up at the end of last year. being run up with different end cans on same.
I was led to believe, and this will need clarifying with delkavic, that they were also going to supply a Servo Buddy, that is needed, to prevent the F.I light from coming on. I am aware that normally this Gizmo is about £40:00 and you can find them advertised on flea bay.
I have done around 2000 miles on mine this summer (another 3,000 planned next month around Switzerland and Italy ye ha
)
Every where I have been other Bikers have commented on how nice my V strom sounds. That is with the baffle in and to be honest to remove it would make it no longer a decent tourer. The drone would be too much for my ancient ears to bear even with plugs.
The performance (as I eluded to on an earlier post in the thread) is far sharper. crispness of the throttle and extra performance where it counts, and even better MPG. High 50’s not an issue, and getting on for 200 miles for fill ups.
I am lucky in that mine was ‘free’ as the test bike. I feel that if you want a decent upgrade to enjoy your bike this is worth a look.
you will also note from an earlier post in this thread I run with a Power Commander fuel controller so I know it is perfect in regards to fuelling that is demonstrated by the dyno chart also posted.
I have always had these with my bikes (Power commander of PCFC) as aware they really get fuelling right, an always successfully sold when bike eventually moves on.
worthy of a look if your considering a new end can and want to go a bit further !
