Greetings Forum Friends,
I purchased my 97 R1100RT 2nd hand, and it was fitted with a Ztech low back-pressure exhaust. O2 sensor and catalytic converter were removed. As I am getting into long distance riding, the loud exhaust has become a nuisance. I've found a few second hand stock exhausts on ebay, and wonder what, other than exchanging the two systems, I need to do. Should I change engine timing? Have a mechanic retune the bike? Will I lose much power?
Thanks for your input!
