 The Akrapovic system offered by Yamaha isn't really much more free-flowing than the stock system. It has twin catalysts and quiet/restrictive dB killers. It is designed to run on a perfectly standard bike without fuelling changes.
 
 Changes to the air intake are much more significant than exhaust/silencer mods when it comes to fuelling.
 
 BTW, changing the CO setting will only affect the A/F ration at tiny throttle openings <2% and really won't make any significant difference to how the bikes feels/runs.

         Thanks Pleiades,
        
 Do that apply even running without db killers? I have considered running a K&N filter also to have a little better low end register.
         
        
 Did you experience any Improvements With Akrapovic only?
