Any word on availability of ABS in North America versions?

I'll be ordering mine tomorrow! Will get the regular length levers as I have big hands and long fingers and like to be able to stretch them out for a rest on longer rides. I thought the Pazzo levers looked great but the ASV look even better and look to be more comfy with better adjustability...

I haven't seen one in person, only in pics. Love that matt paint finish. I've always been a naked bike fan and wish we could get the fully nude euro styled FZ6 here in Canada.

Just browsing Yamaha Canada's site and noticed they're now offering "ASV" reg and shorty brake and clutch levers. Anyone know how they stack up to Pazzos? http://www.yamaha-motor.ca/accessories/images/aba-13s55-50-28.jpg Thanks!

I think this bike looks awesome. Anyone check one out, ride one , have a friend with one etc? http://www.triumph.co.uk/canada/Triumph%20Street%20Triple%20R_8639.aspx thanks!

Hi, I'd like to put on an FE and keep my stock signals too. Could you please post a picture of the result? Thanks very much!

I'm finding mine to be a royal pain in the a**. Could you please describe the tool you made? I ended up stripping the internal hex of one of the two screws. I don't know where to get Akrapovic spare parts- do you? Thanks very much

Hi, Anyone with Akrapovic slip-ons know how to remove the dB killers? I removed the small hex bolts that hold the killers in but can't get the inserts out without damaging them or the actual exhaust outlet. Much thanks in advance!

Hi Pete, Besides removing the hex bolts, is there any trick to removing the dB killers? I tried taking them out last night with just my fingers but they wouldn't move. Any tool that might do it without causing damage? Thanks a lot, Andrew

Definitely! First used hair dryer, thumb nail(yes, now sore) and mineral spirits. This left behind a dull smear and I thought I ruined my paint but then used Goo Gone gel and got a fantastic result in a few minutes.

I just looked at the maps through the PC Control Center software and compared the Euro/Akra with dB in versus the Scorpion map and to my basic understanding it seems that the Euro settings are very lean ie. less fuel% over pretty much all of the throttle settings and RPM readings. I don't know...

Hi Pete, I haven't even installed the software yet! What differences would be signifcant to contrast between the maps? Are you running dB killers in or out? If I can get away with it, I'd like to leave them out especially if the bike sounds like your u-tube clip! Thanks again, Andrew

That was my thinking too but I'm new at this 4 stroke FI thing. Thanks for your advice!

Hi, So now I've got the slip on exhaust, air filter and Power Commander ready to be installed. But on Dynojet's web site, no map for the above combination except for a European spec bike. I have no access to a dyno/tuning shop and Dynojet Tech Support rep said to use the non-European Scorpion...

I couldn't link to that site but personally I use webBikeWorld all the time. Seems fair and unbiased.
