Lightening up
 

Hey folks,

My first Ten and learning much. Seems like there would be a way to lighten up the bike overall and mostly above COG. Anyone has suggestions?

Quite a few persons over here are opting for the MTC single can. It is considerably lighter than the OE part. Have a look on their website, loads of designs to chose from.

tail tidy.

the OEM is ment to be quite heavy...so ive heard. also dump the whole AIS..thing thats a few Kg's.

I do like my Ten, but if it was 25kg lighter...i would love it!!!

Any suggestions on where to get a tail tidy?

Really?? AIS a couple of KGs?? Any guides on how to remove it completely?

Tail tidy from off-the-road.de - think it over before you order, it's quite fidgety to fit and you get a nice spray of dirt on your back... The original tail is surprisingly heavy, though so you'll save a bit

Edit: And oh, the MTC single can is LOUD. You have been warned. I took it off again

I like a clean back. I don't like loud pipes, that ruins it for ALL motorcyclists?

Any non loud pipes that may be less heavy?

Or decat?

this is what ive been mulling over for the last year. dont give up on MTC cans though, ive been hearing that they've taken this on board and are now making them quieter with different baffles & diffuser pipes. i have no hard evidence of this though, just chatter.

Have you tried the R&G tail tidy?? its ugly as sin but does its job.

I actually went over to MTC and they modified my baffle to suit me.

They are very accommodating and if you think that your pipe is too loud tyhey will make a baffle to your requiurements.:deathmetal[1]:

Philten - who is R&G?

Re baffle, I will reach out but since I am in australia not sure how they can accommodate.
