Quill exhausts

Got the Quill cans ordered at the NEC in November finally fitted yesterday. Fookin' loud they are too, and a splendid job. They dyno'd the bike too....peak power at back wheel is 81bhp at 7,600 rpm and 71ft-lb of torque at 4700rpm. Both curves are very flat. Air Fuel mix seems a bit erratic but is mainly on the rich side.

The line starting at 30 is bhp, the one at 60 is torque. They looked at the curves and said it should be a very nice bike to ride.

Pictures when we get some sunshine.

Re: Quill exhausts

They're good bunch of blokes at quill, I rode up there this time last year with a mate of mine for them to fit a pair of titanium cans to his tuono and they did a cracking job, I believe wigan chris also had his can on the AT fitted there and I have since fitted a Quill to my AT Actually I was quite taken with the Yoshimura cans they'd got hanging up there (just not the price)

Re: Quill exhausts

Re: Quill exhausts

Nice useable max torque / rev range 4.5 - 6k and sweet spot at 5k

We set my old SP1 to produce it's max torque (84 ft lbs with the raised underseat cans) from 5kto 8.5k revs and it was a peach to ride when I put it back on the road. And with one tooth less on the front sprocket it would lift the front end in 3rd without the clutch just by winding it on hard
