Hey
I have at last installed my KN-filter. Before I have i full Arrow exhaust.
I feel I got rid of the flat spot at 3000-3500 rpm.
Today I removed the decibel killer and I think I got more power and noise.
What is Your experience, did You get a lot more power without the decibel killer or not?
Thanks

Had the Arrow with the decibel killer out ever since I bought it from the dealer - never tried it fitted cos I like the sound, especially when rolling off the throttle.
I've got my K&N but its not fitted yet - strangely for the Uk this summer we've got some nice weather just now and fitting the filter is wet days work.
So can't really answer you question but I guess it would be better out as there is less restriction.
Did you but the K&N in with any mods to the air box and have you changed anything else (jets, sprockets)?

I feel the Transalp i more relaxed to drive with the db-killer and more powerful without.
I have no other mods yet.
The 12000 km service is due in oktober, and I will have the shop to check the fuel mixture.

I have similar set up on my 600TA K&N filter and Arrow Dakar can only problem is i cant get the Dd killer out?
Have undone both screws on each side but it seems to catch on something preventing me removing it?

It is very easy to remove the db-killer in the Arrow for xl650.
I had to remove an internal circlip and pull the db-killer out.
No problem when I bought the right set of pliers.
Are You satisfied with the Arrow and KN?

I see the Arrow 650 can is totally different from the Paris Dakar can?
As for difference it seems to make the bike more responsive on the throttle and sounds like a proper v-twin now:thumb:
