We got up really early and started our ride at 06h00 to escape the predicted 37 degrees of our current heatwave.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rather surprisingly, the top of the pass was covered in cloud driven by the south easter.</div>

Aluminium mesh is easier to handle and work on, but it bends very easily and a stone could possibily defeat it.<br />
<br />
It relies on expanding into the groove behind the front lip of the left and right radiator tanks. The radiators "V" shape ensures that it wedges solidly downwards. No other securing mechanism and it seems to be staying in place.<br />
<br />
The HRC logo was merely an attempt at attracting <i>some </i>attention to my handiwork!<br />

He has friends in high places.<br />
<br />
We set off for Franschoek where we had breakfast but the weather made the mountains look risky, so we headed out in the opposite direction and into the Swartland. The lowering sky over the Canola fields made for an interesting setting for photography.<br />
<br />
I felt almost apologetic about getting my bike into the pics, but, well, it is damn pretty. So, yeah.<br />
<br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, like all modern motorcycles, the OEM exhaust is forced to compromise performance with meeting emissions regulations. It has two valves in its construction. One is opened by an ECU controlled servo motor to meet low rpm noise regulations. When this valve opens there is a noticeable change in engine performance. The other spring loaded valve is opened when there is a sufficient pressure differential between two internal chambers. Only when exhaust gas pressure builds up to overcome spring tension does the resistance to gas flow drop. Both of these valves are welded into the canister and cannot be removed.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This exhaust is beautifully constructed in stainless steel. Its complicated three dimensional shape packs its mass tightly near the centre of mass of the motorcycle. And no doubt it's gas flow properties were carefully designed and tuned by the genius engineers at Honda. However, to meet EU regulations it ended up being massive (6kgs) and restrictive to gas flow, resulting in sub-optimal <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volumetric_efficiency" target="_blank">volumetric efficiency</a>.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It has to be said that the stock ECU fueling with the stock OEM exhaust is pretty good and throttle responsiveness is generally excellent. Nevertheless, within its closed loop area it will be fuelled to meet emissions regulations and be very lean. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This <i>closed loop</i> area is where fueling is changed in response to the signal from the oxygen sensing exhaust Lambda sensor, generally attempting to keep the air fuel ratios (AFRs) close to <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoichiometry" target="_blank">stoichiometric</a> (AFR=14.7) to minimize emissions. Note that the intention of closed loop fuelling is <i>reduced emissions</i>, not enhancing performance. On the Fireblade the closed loop area is 0 to 20% throttle opening and 0 to 5500 rpm. Outside of these conditions (so called "open loop" area) is where your real performance lies and here the ECU does fuel more generously. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">(Lambda sensors measure exhaust oxygen partial pressures from which AFRs are indirectly calculated.) </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My main reason for removing the stock exhaust and replacing it with a slip on was to reduce resistance to gas flow, and hence improve volumetric efficiency. Weight loss was an added benefit. I did not replace it so that my bike would make more noise. To me noise is a drawback of a pipe that breathes better.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">From 2014 onwards the catalytic converter is no longer in the silencer, it has now become a fixed part of the headers. The only way to remove it is to replace the entire exhaust system. Also from 2014, and because of the catalytic converter, the link pipe for a slip on has increased to 60mm, making older slip ons incompatible (the USA bikes are different).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">When choosing a slip on for the Fireblade there are a few choices. The link pipe can either be a convoluted "S" shape or it can be short and direct. The silencer can can either be compact and low to preserve what Honda was trying to do with mass centralization, or it can be bigger and protrude further and higher. Silencers that were not specifically designed for the Blade are often like this.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And then there is a choice of materials. Stainless Steel, Carbon Fibre reinforced plastic, or Titanium.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Stainless Steel is heavy and ages disgracefully. Where it gets really hot it discolours, looking like controlled rust. It is also prone to stress cracking.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Carbon fibre reinforced plastic has the virtue of being light. However, plastic is adversely affected by heat and carbon fibres will burn if heated enough. You will not find this material being used on a MotoGP bike exhaust despite its appealing lightness. No OEM exhausts are made of this material either. It doesn't tolerate localised stress points so the can is usually suspended by an unsightly encircling band. CF tipped exhausts are a cosmetic touch only.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Titanium is the perfect exhaust material.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Lighter and stronger than steel, rustless, attractive colour changes on heating, single piece construction possible without external springs and clamps. Material of choice for the hot end of jet engines since they were invented.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And then there is the actual dynamic design of the silencer and link pipe. Some aftermarket slip on exhausts are little more than a standard silencer can mated with a suitable link pipe to attach it to the headers. Others have been made specifically for the Fireblade on a flow bench and improved performance is confirmed with dyno testing.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The slip on I chose was this 1.3kgs of titanium made specifically for the 2014 Fireblade by Akrapovič.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It is obviously extremely light (saves nearly 5kgs) and is a single piece construction. No external springs or encircling clamps. It respects Honda's mass centralization dictum.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was warned that this exhaust would damage my bike's midrange because the link pipe was too short and that it should have an "S" bend link pipe.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Akrapovič</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> have validated the design of this pipe on the dynamometer and publish the following graph:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After fitting a less flow restrictive exhaust to your Fireblade you will hopefully have improved its volumetric efficiency. Fitting a less flow restrictive aftermarket air filter will add to this effect, so I also installed a BMC air filter.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, unless the bike's fuelling is now altered to match this improved air flow through the engine, the air fuel ratios are going to be hopelessly lean and this will attenuate any likely performance improvement.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unless you intend changing your bike's fuelling, you are not maximising the benefits that improved gas flow can bring. Personally, I wouldn't go to the expense of fitting an aftermarket exhaust without also improving the fuelling. If your goal was simply to make more noise then none of this is necessary.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After fitting my new </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Akrapovič </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">slip on there was no doubt that the bike was a lot rougher. There was some performance improvement but it was slight. The very impressive stock fueling with the stock exhaust had gone. I missed the smoothness.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Honda's ECUs cannot be flash programmed so the fueling map in the ECU cannot be changed and is the one designed years ago in Japan, optimised for your stock exhaust and reaching the compromises required to meet stringent emissions regulations.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So the next step was the installation of a Power Commander (PC) fuelling module. This device merely plugs into your bike's wiring between the ECU and the primary fuel injectors. No wire cutting is necessary and no permanent changes are made to your bike's wiring loom. If you later wish to remove it, it simply unplugs and the ECU is again solely in charge of fueling.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The Power Commander reads the fuel injector signal from the ECU and modifies this according to its own map, before then controlling the duty cycle of the primary injectors. (Injectors are digital devices and are either on or off. The percentage of time that they are on is called the duty cycle.)</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Unlike the ECU, the Power Commander is user programmable, simply requiring a laptop and a USB cable. Pre-existing fuel maps can be loaded onto it or custom maps can be created using the Dynojet software and dynomometer.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Pre-existing fuel maps, supposedly optimised for a particular aftermarket exhaust, can be downloaded or shared from other Fireblade owners. These maps cannot hope to be right for the unique charactetistics each bike has.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><b>The best possible fuel map for any particular bike is one that has been custom created by a tuner skilled in the operation of a brake dynamometer. </b>This is a tedious process that requires creating a new setting at every different throttle position (2, 5, 10, 20, 40, 60, 80, 100%), for every rev range in 250rpm increments, in every gear. These values are either a plus or minus number, adding or removing fuel from what the ECU would have provided. A "zero map" is thus stock fuelling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Here is a sample fuel map, for a single gear:</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">However, before he can start he has do do two things (that I know of). The first is to inactivate the native lambda sensor, replacing it with a resistor that produces a flat reading. Otherwise the signal from the Lambda sensor will prevent the PC from taking over control of the AFRs. The second is to inactivate the whole Pulsed Secondary Air Injection system (PAIR). This system bleeds air from the air filter box into the exhaust ports in the cyclinder head, ECU controlled by a rapidly switching solenoid valve. The intention of this system is to introduce extra oxygen into the exhaust gases to ensure complete oxidation of carbon, nitrogen, sulphur, and unburnt hydrocarbon; providing the extra oxygen for the catalytic converter to achieve these goals. Quite obviously, extra oxygen added to the exhaust gasses is going to screw with the tuner's measurements of AFRs. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had previously inactivated the air inlet duct flap valves.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As Julian points out, the only way you are going to get more power is to burn more fuel. Having created better gas flow through the engine with aftermarket air filter and exhaust, you have the opportunity to burn more fuel, but only if you decrease the AFRs to an optimum for power production.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">To satisfy stringent EU and other emissions regulations, the closed loop area of operation aims for an AFR close to stoichiometric (14.7). From the tuner's point of view this is far too lean for maximum power production. This occurs at AFRs in the 13.0 to 13.6 range. Exactly what AFR produces the most power at any given point on the fuel map is part of the dark art of dyno tuning.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My bike first went onto the dyno in February. Note that AFRs cannot be measured with the stock exhaust.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Note that this graph is generated in fifth gear at 100% throttle opening.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">At first glance those increments appear small. But it would be entirely wrong to just look at the peak figure and decide that this exercise was largely futile. Also pay careful attention to the AFRs, depicted in the third line. Note how incredibly lean the </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Akrapovič</span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> made the AFRs especially between 4k and 8k rpm. This is exactly the intention of fitting the pipe. There is now the opportunity to add more fuel for more power. The Green AFR line is the result of Julian's tuned fuelling.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This particular graph is just one gear at 100% throttle opening. It doesn't tell you anything about how responsive the bike is to smaller throttle openings in lower gears, or how responsive the throttle is in general. Indeed, the difference when actually riding the bike is very obvious. After the dyno tuning it is far more responsive, smooth, and it accelerates a lot harder. The next graph attempts to illustrate this.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This is an <i>acceleration graph</i>. It is really important to note that the units on the horizontal axis here are <b>seconds</b> and not revs (it looks just like revs). This graph illustrates how many horsepower are available to you seconds after pinning the throttle. Note that after just two seconds the bike now has about 15Newton metres of torque extra. After five seconds you have 13Nm and <i>21 horsepower more than before the tuning</i>. Not surprisingly, this is very readily felt when riding the bike, and noticed by my friend on his S1000RR.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The SP was on the dyno in March and mine in August but these two engines have an essentially identical torque and power generation. There is perhaps a slight advantage to my bike, so the predictions I was getting that my minimalist pipe was going to rob it of midrange are demonstrably false.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The next graph is a comparison of my bike and the undisputed 2015 Superbike horsepower king, the new S1000RR. This 2015 S1000RR was admittedly stock. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Note the truly massive advantage my bike has at 4k and 8k rpm. Up until 11.5k rpm my bike is making significantly more power everywhere. After 11.5k rpm the S1000RR takes over and enjoys a higher redline as well, enabling him to hang onto the gear for longer than I can. You choose what you would like from your road bike. In fairness I have to point out that the S1000RR responds well to Julian's tuning as well. <br />(The S1000RR has variable length, servo driven velocity stacks which are responsible for some of the glitches in the torque curve, especially the one near the top.)</span><br />
