    Hi Guys

    I have a 2015 Repsol since new - having covered 1200 miles, really wanting to get out on it more.

    Have struggled with track days as my Austin Racing Can is too loud..

    Just had a chat with Hill Top Motorcycles about a map, they said I need to get the can changed as a tabby can looses back pressure / power is down.

    Anj thoughts on this? As I do like the can, but would not mind changing this for a full length can if it help with power..?

    If so, any recommendations for cans that look and sound decent…?

    Sam

    No personal experience with Hilltop but there's enough bad press out there to steer well clear. Plenty of people say he's nothing more than a conman.

    Ah,

    I just googled and found a 4 year old post here..about hill top hence called them..

    they said it was a standard map that goes on and there is no increase in Bhp but it’s better fuelling and midrange? Which did leave me little confused..

    What do you want to achieve? Throwing money at tuning isn't going to cause you to ride it more, why don't you put the money into some B&B's and go to Scotland for a few days?

    1200 miles since 2015 ? I have 22,000 in a similar period, you certainly do need to get out more.;)

    Unless you're racing then chasing the odd bhp here and there seems like a mugs game to me. If it's not fuelling properly then fair enough but if it's too noisy anyway I'd put the standard can on it. At least then you could do some track days.
