Restricted Bandit 600 and possible end can options?

Hi folks. Ive got a shiny bandit 600 sitting in my garage at the moment, its restricted to 33bhp. Would fitting a race can cause any problems due to the already resricted air flow into the engine and then adding more restriciton with the race can?

Im looking for a can which makes a real loud growl but is not gonna cause every copper in surrey to come and pull me over.

A race can will by design reduce restriction not increase it.

So there wouldnt be any problem fitting a race can onto the bike?

I wouldn't say so, fact is the bikes already had its bollocks removed by putting the restrictor in and as such not running right.

The addition of the can wont cause any real problems.

As for the can choice... best thing is to go along to a meet and listen to a few bikes. Its all personal choice end of the day.

If you do, it will run like a dog. What you will be doing is adding a restriction to the air (gas) intake on the bike (the 33bhp part) and removing a restriction on the gas (air) output on the engine.

This will seriously unbalance the gas flow through the engine and you might even find that you will lose midrange power due to lack of back pressure from the exhaust.

Plus you are more likely to get pulled over by the rozzers.

IMO, don't do it. Smile

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

Cheers for the advice folks. Still gotta make a decision.

Sadie has a can on her Bandit (i think its race, Im pretty sure its a Micron) and it sounds real nice.

My cbr400 has a race can on it, and it runs fine, on standard jetting. Not all bikes will run like a bag o' bolts.

Speak to Sadie, ask if hers is a race can, and if it needed re-jetting

I recon my bike sounds like 20 times better. Rolling Eyes

. I havent got any hassle from the Poilce, but I dont ride like a silly boy when i am in their presence.

And you bike and Sadies bikes are restricted to 33bhp?

Its the restriction of my bike that worries me when thinking of buying a performance exhaust.

Mine isnt restriced. Sadies wont be either, but ive seen a few restricted 400s with race cans on. Im sure if you ask around here someone may even have that same situation going on.

I think LozVfr (YamsR6's mate) has a restricted Vfr400 with a race can on. Think. Smile

No point in having a race can on a restricted bike, unless you just want to be noisy and piss the rest of the traffic off while you bimble along with a top speed akin to a nova.
