If I convert my bike to Akrap full system, do I need to put also the pcv and the autotune?

How necessary is that??

The bike will remap it's own ECU according to the algorythms and all ready programmed fuel maps... it will do this over time. So the answer is NO, you do not need a PCV/AutoTuner.

That said, if you do install an PCV and go get a custom map/dyno tune done, or install the PCV/AutoTuner (no custom dyno tune), you will get more output from the bike w/the new exhaust you installed.

Another thought on making this process easier - use a bit of WD40 on the rubber mounts for the oil cooler and rad. Everything will slip together so much more easily, and inserting the washer and clip will not be difficult. Do the same thing for the fairing sides where the peg goes into the rubber mount, makes it simple to reinstall.

No, you don't have to.

The bike will run ok without PCV.
But, it probably won't run at 100% Optimization.

We find most customers who spend $17k + on their bike want all the HP out of it that they paid for.

So more often then not, they get the PCV as well so they can tune it to full potential.

Thanks a lot, S1000rr Administrator and HR sponsor! I understood everything!

A feel days ago, I posted an email to HardRacing interrest in buying the Akrap Evo (long canister).
They were very quick to reply and yet, they gave me an excelent feedback about shipping abroad! I really appreciated!

Well, the negociation still remains, the problem is that despite the Us fees, my country also have heavy fees under this kind of import, so Im analising the best possibility!

If I buy here in a good price store, converted in US currency, they charge over $2.552,90 (not intalled)

The Pcv and autotune, $990,00

I was doind the math, and to import the Evo system the price will probably be higher!


See how bad is it??


Anyway....this is subject to another discution, otherwise this will interrupt the topic, witch is great by the way!

Once again, thanks!!

Also, there is a diagram in the Akro instructions that shows how the header flanges are installed. I could post it but everyone that bought a system should have those instructions.

i got myself literally under the bike to get this done....my fat hand...

The ONLY reason you would get that, is if you Turn the Servo Wheel. (popular mistake).

When you disconnect the cables you just pop them out of the holders to release the tension.
A lot of guys think you have to turn the wheel to release the cable.

If you do that, then the light will come on.

The bike doesn't even have an FI light.

Removing the cables and removing the servo triggers exactly the same fault in the fault log. It won't show, it is only visible by reading the fault log. O2 sensors also trigger a fault when removed.

I may get the time to install my SS Akro full shorty this weekend. A few questions for those in the know.

1. I didn't receive the white ceramic paste in my pack. Can I use the copper pastes on the SS joints as long as I use the white ceramic paste (I have a little left over from when I did my slipon) where the SS joins the titanium muffler?

2. Can you really connect all the piping together (ex the muffler) prior to installing?. Surely it will be hard to align into the flanges this way?

3. Where do I find a map for the PCV for my setup ie shorty Akro at sea level with 98 RON fuel?

4. Who has a close up of the way the flanges sit, so I can get them right?. I can see them in the Akro instructions but not completely clearly.

Wish me luck. thanks

the flanges isn't the hardest part...trust me...

[skapan]

When you look at the Akro picture of the flanges, just note on which side they have the spring on the top. Actually, looking at the clips on the pipe will tell you which way to put the flanges. As others have said, this is not the hard part.....

[claytoga]

So the hard part is getting past the radiator or are there other challenges?
