decat

[650vstromer]

has anyone removed cat from original exhaust, and was it worth doing ?

er, yes and er ....yes!!
remus pipe fitted ,cat gone and so is the lambda (plugged) obviously it makes a lot of difference, weight, free flow and the weight!!!
I need to find out whether baffle in or out as one creates a lot of noise but does it lack back pressure?

If you mean de-catting the original exhaust have a look on evilbay, item no - 160495799285. The company, Sabre Custom Engineering do all sorts of bikes (and cars). A Guzzi site I get on reckon the workmanship is superb and the lack of cat makes a big difference to performance which I'm sure will be the case with the Wee too.

I have 57 1000,if I did a decat,would the bike need a remap,what about the lamba sensor and would it pass the mot.
Looking for anything to stop the intermittent misfire around 2750 rpm

The MOT would be no problem as emissions aren't tested on bikes (yet...). I would imagine the less restrictive exhaust would certainly help the flat spot and the bikes ECU should be able to compensate for the change. When I fitted less restrictive Quill can's to my '06 Vee it made a big differnce to the flat spot (and sounded better). Not a cheap option but a pair of can's will shed a LOT of weight too as the standard can's are unbeleivably heavy.

Where is the cat on a 2002 DL1000 ?  (If it has one ?)
