Akra full system and no PCV

[zx9rmal]

Anyone installed a full Akra exhaust using the OEM O2 sensors without a PCV or other fueling device? Results? Dyno chart? I know it's not ideal but I believe the Akra dyno charts on their website are with exhaust only.

Thanks.

May I ask what it is you are trying to learn here??

If you already know that it is not ideal without the Power Commander, why would you want feed back from someone who has who has not set it up to be the best it can be?

I was running mine like that. Dont recommend it, it idles bad, and has a tendency to 'lurch you forward' at high rpm gear changes - i.e. a massive flat spot.

Why would you even want to go that route, tried it while waiting on my PC V, basically not a pleasurable experience.

Got the message. I was curious because in my 35 years of riding and 50+ bikes, I've installed full systems on many sportbikes, some with PC's and others without. Many of the non-PC installs worked fine. Of course, a little more power/response may have been had with the addition of a PC, but those bikes ran well, i.e., good throttle response, dyno numbers, and safe (if not ideal) AFR's. Some of the BMW's I've owned did not have PC applications, but ran very well with full systems, e.g., my '05 K1200S and '09 K1300S.

The S1000RR evidently requires a PC or similar fuel controller with a full system. Thanks for the input.
