Fazer FZS100 and Beowulf exhaust

[FirebladeRuss]

Morning chaps


I noticed the other day that my exhaust has what I am assuming is a removable baffle in the exhaust.


It's simply held in place by a single allen bolt. The baffle itself is simply a steel tube about 150mm long and approximatley 30mm diameter (has a slight kink in to reduce the diameter in the middle).


I remember my old instructor telling me I should take it out because it'd sound better and release a bit more power, so I removed it last night (not ridden the bike in today).


Does the baffle affect the engines running at all? A little louder may be nice, but I don't want to make the engine run leaner or anything and risk damage (something I've read).


Any thoughts?

Probably not noticeable in terms of power or running. It apparently leans it out, but I never really noticed an issue.

BTW what is the standard power output of an FZS100

With the baffle out it will run OK but it wont make any more power, just noise. You need to fit a Dynojet kit (if its an FZS1000) or a power commander (if its an FZ1) and a K&N air filter if you want more power, better throttle response etc.
