    Tuning

    Yes, the Arrow set has a mid pipe with a chamber that replaced the cat. I haven’t felt any need for a Power Commander. No popping on decel. No surging. No flat spots. I’m still very happy with my setup.

    Tire plug kit or better new tire ?

    I believe the bulge is a tuning feature to regulate back pressure and sound pulses. I have the Arrow because they put some thought and r&d into their design vs a straight through pipe.

    Details on the 701 Recall

    Max RPM?

    I guess I’m the odd duck here because I typically follow the owner’s manual for the break-in procedure. And I also use full throttle once the break-in period is done. I’ll add that I performed my own first service this week. The bike used no oil and there was no significant goo/metal on the...
