myles Posted December 19, 2003 Posted December 19, 2003 I just bought a 1997 CBR1100 and wondering what upgrades are recommended. I like the look of the stock mufflers, but I would like the bike to be louder. Also, I noticed that there is a flat spot when shifting to second from about 4000 to 6000 rpm. After that it flies. Is this normal? Would a new exhaust with dyno jet kit fix this. I have heard that because this is a carbed model, I should expect it. Sorry about so many questions. I just got the bike about two weeks ago and have not had a chance to ride it much here in Michigan. Quote
Involute Posted December 19, 2003 Posted December 19, 2003 Welcome and way to go on the new bike! Listen to Joe (Rockme....). He may look like R2D2 but he's a wise lad. Quote
jsimanella Posted December 25, 2003 Posted December 25, 2003 I got a great set of Akra pipes (full) on EBay for about $425 - Sounds great! I had to lose my centerstand, though I've read that you can mod the stand to work with them. The entire system weighs less than 1 can on the stock! Quote
