Welcome to the world of those who's bikes suck slightly due to the db meter b-s, mine used to have a massive hole, now mine has just got a slight hole there end-of-story, im sure it could do with a minor richening up of the pilot jets *shrug*.

Man i've learned far far FAR too much about tuning carbies in the last 6 months due to my gpx, at least i know now, but was a slut of a learning curve. Especially as i refused to submit my wallet for rapage by the local dealer.

...which was why I bought an EFI bike....
And THEN I find it is one with a set map.....
...live and learn

My NEXT bike will have a self adjusting EFI with lambada etc....

I will not be putting a can on my 12, Im gonna leave it stock, have heard of issues caused by aftermarket cans.
If you need to have one Micron would definitely be my suggestion, in carbon, they look good

Frozzie is now importing SHARK exhausts (some look wicked, ask him what he has for your bike)

I think the only carbon can for a 12R is from Akro?

Anyway due to the bike producing super hot zorsts carbon isn't a good idea, only have to worry when it is on a dyno tho'.

If you want a cheaper alternative, you can get the Megacycle cans in carbon and stainless, think about $500 RRP.

Paul..BlueZX12

from memory he told me it was 'bout $500

looks good on his 12
..but a BIG MoFo (bigger than the standard I reckon )

have a look on the Megacycle site..thats his!
