If the exhaust is now allowing more flow you will need to increase the CO & up the idle speed to stop it cutting out.

Can you do a favor for me can you remove your left side black cover & give me the numbers off your Engine ECU, I want to see if the 2010 models are running a different ECU.

This is what you are looking for.

What I did was......I took the end caps off the exhausts, and then drilled about 8 holes into the ends of the exhausts, but this didn't make any differance to the sound, so I got a longer drill bit and drilled through the holes I'd already done and into the plate thats about half way down the exhausts. This makes it sound a lot better, but like I said it now cuts out after about 20 mins of riding. It was suggested that I may have damaged the cats??????

Re the ECU..........Mine is the same as the 2009 one in the 6th picture with the top line ending in number 11.
