sod this, new can, singular.
 
Finally bit the bullet, bike went to Simmi Performance to have can fitted with manufactured link pipe today, it will be a race can with removable baffle, slip on type with 2 inch apperture.

Will put up some decent photos or at least some links to good photos as there are none available on this forum, or only a very small handful.

WATCH THIS SPACE, Simmi will keep measurements handy for future requirements.

wimpster 20-11-09 19:38
You've beaten me to it, I was down at Simmis the other weekend, and had a natter with the guy about a single can set up too!! My question is , will you/do you plan on fitting a power commander / or will simmi have the neccessary equipment to adjust the mixture,etc to suit the pipe?? I really fancy a simmi can, but I can't afford to lash out on a Power commander too!!
Look forward to seeing your pics , and any other info about how you set the bike up would be most welcome, cheers and good luck!!

Timpo.....

Have Adv Spec been using your bike for the single pipe their making?

They used your bike for the Pegs didn't they?

Just seeing if you had an info on their pipe you see..... :blob6:

links to 2 photos, when I have somme better ones I will pass them on, hope you can see them, minyuns have no right to post pics on this forum it would appear, unless you know better than I.

No news on power commander yet, just going to suck it and see. Will be running it with a baffle though to keep a little pressure, also you will note can is no shorter so no perceived loss of bottom end.

Keep watching, not picked it up yet, Simmi texted me these photos toady. God bless him, �180 but he needs your bike to do the job.

Nelis 24-11-09 21:56
Looks nice, but i would be very carefull to not scratch it.

I still think that aftermarket exhausts don't fit the design, they always create large gaps (next to the lights and above the muffler).
The exhausts look very cool, but just not on the bike (if you ask me).

Actually I'll only stick that one up as the other has your plate showing.
Neat job. �180 including the silencer?

stromtrooper 24-11-09 22:37
yup, �180, Nelis, an opinion is like an *******, everybody got one,and NO, I didn't ask you.

Instead of putting an absolute negative into a story, why not just reed it and enjoy it.

Don't give a rats ass about scratching it, it is a work bike and hopefully now an off road bike, with 6000 miles, 1 winter, 1 to come and rarely sees a sponge, tend to ride mine more than look at it.

stromtrooper 24-11-09 22:41
Hey timpo, no to both, this is the first time he has met me and the bike, don't know who ADV spec are and "Simmi" did state that he would need a customers bike to fit a can to, I assume until he has done a few.

maxwell123455 24-11-09 22:46
Very very very very nice and shinny. I like it:Speedy_Superhero_Q3

Gas_Up_Lets_Go 25-11-09 08:40
Now we're talking, �180 ?? for a can and link pipes ??

That is a bl00dy good deal by any standard, even better if they could do it without the bike. How's about posting some contact details, I'm fairly sure they'll get some trade out of this :toothy5:

A couple of questions though,

Weight ?? how much is the saving over the stock 8Kg setup ??

Noise, it's always a bug bear, but better to keep within limits, and long distances with loud pipes can be, erm, irritating to say the least - I think so anyway. They are going to be louder, but how loud ??

Clearly this is going to need the fueling adjusted, but at a combined price of PCv can and link pipe (dyno'd) at around �700 it's a crakingly good option. Obviously, it only needs one bike to have the dyno treatment so someone has the possibility of offsetting thier costs here by donation sharing.

Great move this, I'm not so sure about the bling/shiney look, but a couple of slides in the dirt will sort that out.

�180 - Can't believe it! Did you have to sleep with them ?? :respeck:

The exhausts look very cool, but just not on the bike (if you ask me).
The problem with any single can is volume - unless you put a kink in it (like a KTM 640A can for example), it cannot follow the line of the frame exactly and offer enough volume... sure it would be possible, but it is all greater expense - and to be honest, the KTM can is hidden behind a side panel, were it exposed like on the Tenere, it would look just as odd (like a fat boomerang) but in a different way?

I think the pipe that 'Simmi' has made is a great budget alternative for anyone who wants a single can (although I'd prefer to see it skinned in satin alloy rather than bright stainless), and there is plenty of space on the other side for a tool tube - either the plastic ones Adventure-Spec sell, or even a metal fabricated one to match the silencer?

Certainly the one thing a single can does highlight is how clunky the rear light unit looks once the stock (twin exit) exhaust is removed... I replaced mine with a DRC Anato unit on the rally bike, but if the stock light is retained I would agree the bike needs something to visually balance it out from the rear?

stromtrooper 25-11-09 22:32
steady on guys, I am stillwaiting to pick the bike up yet, you are all very excited.

Simmi, you can get his info via a popular auction site and search simmi, his contact detail is readilly available there.

�180, didn't sleep with him, no, theres nothing queer about Simmi exhausts,

stuxtttr 26-11-09 16:10
nice pipe nice price

when you get the bike back can you update as too noise/performance/weight etc

are there any other skin options I fancy black or grey (just like the weather for the next 6 months)

stromtrooper 27-11-09 21:59
OK, in short, the pipe is on, and ridden home for the first time tonight, 12 miles through town then 16 milesdual carriageway. Bear in mind please this is the first time on the bike in a little over a week so judgements may be a little blurred.

Pros:
  • Weight
  • Price
  • Noise
  • Looks
  • Apparently no need for re fuelling.
  • removable baffle
  • Burble
  • No, or certainly less surging.
Cons:
  • Tingley in the seat due to less weight over the back end, i think.
  • The fact that you must get this done.
  • needing to take bike to exhaust manufacturer
As stated my judgement may be a little blurred due to not being able to ride the bike, fit the can then ride off, I haven't rode the bike in a week. Noise is not offensive and has a nice burble on over run with some cracks. Lots more power at top end, the bike struggles towards the top in top gear, not so much now, as for bottom end, roads were a bit poo tonight so did not want to crack the throttle open just to have it spin out, but acceleration is clean through the rev range from just above 3 grand.

Less surging, it would appear, the old system I think is pants for surging whilst filtering, looks like that has now been reduced somewhat.

Need to have a play with this, but do not expect to have to get the fuel remapped,

Only one thing to do now, tell you guys to get one sorted, however you decide to do it, and enjoy, I need to staret playing with it now,

I have also cut the snorkel from my airbox, all is good, want to take spark plug out in a few days to confirm its not running lean.

stromtrooper 27-11-09 22:03
Can is stainless steel, it can be ran through a polishing machine to give it a brushed look,

Enduro end caps will be available but only on round and not oval cans, carbon option yes, no ally,

�180 upover for the base model and link pipe, the link pipe has about 6 pieces in it to get the angles, for the first few he needs the bike, in the understanding the orig pipework runs into the bike as opposed to out. Wuite complicated were his words.

wimpster 28-11-09 13:31
Nice one stormtrooper, I like the news that you feel like theres no need to re-map.
Please ride the ****** and do a plug chop to confirm the mixture, you don't wanna burn valves out and all that!!. If the mixtures OK then I'll be straight down to get one made, as I can't afford a PCV -the cost does not warrant a small HP gain in my books.
I spoke to Simmi the other day and he initially said he was concerned about the differences in volume between the standard and a siungle silencer, and also suggested that he could do a double pipe set up too, which may be attractive to punters wanting to retain a "balanced" look to the bike.I suppose then, that a dummy can for storage would not be too difficult for him either. Seems like an all-round nice bloke, with a cracking little set up too!!
Hurry up and let me know about your mixture findings- I feel an early chrimbo present coming on!!

That's fair, although I would say that the PCV in conjunction with the DNA filter/airbox lid and an exhaust will make a significant difference in performance - at least 10% - and also how and where the power is released... which is dramatic I can tell you!

stoo24 29-11-09 00:27
Looking at the plug is not an accurate test. If you get it dyno'd you'll find that it'll probably be running lean in certain parts of the rev range and ok in others. A quick dyno test (and if necessary a PCV or Kev's mod) is a tad cheaper than a new piston.

I was about to say that Stoo, well the bit about the dyno anyway. With uncorked Leo's I had a stoichiometric ratio of 14:1 through the whole rev range. Dangerously lean. I only ran them uncorked for the dyno run out of curiousity.

stromtrooper 29-11-09 18:07
Hi, ok, so I might have a few fuelling problems, didn't think it would be that bad, Hmmm, what is the PCV mod, had a look abd understand kevs mod, might need to get this thing re mapped if that is possible, but please let me know what the PCV mod is first, thanks guys.

PCV is Power Commander V (ie.5) - you can fit a DynoJet Power Commander device to the Tenere (and the other XT660s) and it allows you to set up a custom fuel map over the whole rev range - every 250rpm if you choose... although you need a dyno machine and associated computer to do it, so best go to a dyno shop... (unless you've got a really cool garage at home?!)

It's the best way to get your fueling spot on, but the best results are also in conjunction with better airflow (ie. DNA filter and airbox lid) as the more air you can put in, the more fuel you can add, and bingo - more power!

Maybe a new topic time, but just quickly, JMo, do you know of anyone fitting a new ECU to the XT's at all? Either something DIY like a megasquirt, or up to a Wolf or MoTEC unit?

Hi Tom - sorry no, not heard of anything like that, and to be honest, I can't see that being any cheaper (or better?) than running a PC V on the stock ECU - it's plug-in and play, and you can always revert to standard should you have any unforeseen warranty issues?

I'd just reiterate how impressive a properly set-up PCV is with the stage 2 airbox, single exhaust (and O2 eliminator & AIS removal) - seriously, the bike feels properly alive now!

Megasquirt kits work about about the same price as a PCIII, but after some reading and hunting a MoTEC ECU will set you back �3k...
Reasons that being able to program the ECU is better than a PC are that whilst the PC only adjusts the fuel signal to the injectors, with a programmable ECU you can also adjust (amongst other things) the ignition curve, throttle body trim and run real time adjustments on the bike. I was hoping there would be a piece of software like Tuneboy available for the Tens, but sadly not. They only seem to specialise in SAGEM ECU's. I used it on my old Capo to really great effect. And Tuneboy is cheaper than a PC.
On your second point, absolutely, I completely agree. It's always worth doing the whole package, but where do you stop? :D

Hi JMo

I've got a PC V, an X-Racing silencer and a DNA Stage 2 air filter with the air box cover all set up in a dyno and the improvement is indeed impressive! I'm very happy with it. However I don't have an O2 eliminator. If I did, how would it affect my bike with all the mods so far? Would I gain more torque at the lower revs or all the revs or what? If I'd get one now, how much would I have to alter the PC V map that I have now (I really don't want to take it to a dyno again)?

Hi Jami - from what I understand, the O2 sensor only works on the part throttle opening (that is up to about 18% - so off-idle and low revs) to make constant fueling adjustments... once the engine revs higher than that, the main EFi unit takes over (in your case adjusted by the PCV).

If the O2 sensor is still fitted, then at lower engine speeds it will try and send a signal to the ECU, possibly conflicting with what the PCV is trying to tell it... by removing the O2 sensor (and fitting an eliminator), all you get is the PCV map the whole time.

I'm not sure it will result in any more power necessarily (I don't imagine so), only that the power curve will be smoother and not 'interrupted' at all, as it is only using the map in the PCV... I doubt you'd have to remap the PCV again, unless you were being really fussy!

I imagine Kev is your man to really explain the technical aspect of it...

Thanks for the answer JMo! Well explained. I'm happy with the top and midrange power. I would just like it to work better on revs below 3000 so that just might be the answer.

I wasn't around when the bike was being dynoed and tuned up but I trust the guy who did it. But still I'm wondering why it backfires so much on lower revs if it's now properly set up. Is it just typical for the type of engine or is it the O2 sensor still confusing it?

And no, I'm not a fussy type of person, just practical :-).

Kev, if you're reading this, I would indeed like to know more about the technical aspect of the O2 sensor/eliminator. Thanks.

I think the back-fire/overrun popping is more to do with the AIS system - I presume you still have that fitted, or have you blocked it removed it?

However, you could be right that the O2 sensor is sending a signal to the ECU which is trying to lean the engine right off on the closed throttle - I imagine removing the O2 sensor will certainly help, if not eradicate that trait completely... it should certainly sort out any fluffiness you've got below 3000rpm...

As for blocking/removing the AIS plumbing, it is very simple to do, and certainly minimises that overrun popping... there is some info on here about how to block it effectively, but to be honest, I'd just junk the whole set up and block the inlet to the exhaust manifold with a plate (don't forget to seal the airbox hole too though!) - in fact I understand Petebog is planning on producing a kit to do this, but it is pretty easy to do yourself...

Yes, I still have the AIS system fitted. I just searched the forum to find out what it is - I wasn't aware of it before. So much information here.. That seems to be the real reason for backfiring. I'm about to take the tank off anyway (got some wiring to do and I wanna make it neat) in near future so while at it I might as well remove the whole system. So will it cause an ECU fault code or not?

Thanks again!

Hi Jami - don't worry, it won't cause a fault code (I think Yamaha knew people might want to do this x) - it's really just an emissions thing to get it through the ever-tightening regulations for new vehicles...

It's pretty simple to do - once the tank is off, you simply unbolt the solenoid/valve assembly and disconnect the wiring connector (I'd cover the terminal in tape/heat shrink to stop any corrosion in future). Once you've removed the rubber hoses, you need to seal the hole in the airbox (I used a rubber cap, with superglue), and make a small plate to cover the hole between the exhaust manifolds. You could just cut the pipe and crimp/solder/weld it up, but it would look a bit ugly - I used the original diamond shaped plate as a pattern and cut a blanking plate from 1/4 inch aluminium - job done as they say!

If a bike is run on the dyno with the AIS open, the air/fuel ratio will be out & the fuel map will be made wrong. The AIS must be blocked off before the bike is run on the dyno.

Damn. I was afraid of this. I wish I had known about it before taking it to the dyno. Any ideas how much 'wrong' the map is? Perhaps I could try adjusting the map by myself. I paid 250 euros for the dyno run and tune-up and I'm not gonna pay that again. It can't be that much off since the engine feels and sounds right.

So it's running too rich now? Did I understand correctly?

The AIS injects fresh air into the exhaust at any time, depending on the throttle position & RPM, so it would be impossible to know where to adjust the fuel map manually. Any good dyno tuner should know about the AIS, as it has been around for years & most bikes have these days.

The extra air that is injected into the exhaust shows up as a leaner mixture then it really is, so the dyno tuner runs the fuel map richer to correct this leaner A/F. With the AIS blocked off the exhaust gas readings are now a true refection on the A/F ratio.

The extra air that is injected into the exhaust shows up as a leaner mixture then it really is, so the dyno tuner runs the fuel map richer to correct this leaner A/F. With the AIS blocked off the exhaust gas readings are now a true refection on the A/F ratio.
I called to the mechanic who did the tune-up and asked him about it and he said that he did block the AIS before tuning so no problem there. I just didn't know about it. Thanks for the info.
