So I have an 05 FZ6 and I got the carbon fiber Scorpion slip-ons installed. The bike sounds wicked mean with the decibel killer inserts removed but when riding I noticed that I may have lost some low end torque. Also the bike has an unstable idle with the dB killers removed, it bounces from 1100 all the way to about 1400rpm, sounding like it barely wants to stay running, almost sounds like a v-twin would, not smooth like a inline 4 should. It does this every time once the bike is hot at normal running temperature. But once I put the dB killers back in, the idle stabilizes almost right away and everything runs normal.
I've heard a hundred different opinions on whether or not to run the bike with the backpressure from the dB killers. Some people say it's bad for the engine while others say it does no harm at all. Does anybody actually know? I know other people run their bike all the time without the dB killers; does your bike have a weird idle like mine? Is their any way to correct the idle? Is it bad for the engine? Would a fuel controller like a Two Bros Juice Box make any difference? I just want to operate engine without dB killers safely so I won't damage anything. Thanks.
