Featured 2018 Speed Triple Rs – Ownership Thread

Looks like these have no baffle option, racing use only ... so I guess its a question of how loud ..

 

Sorry , seems they DO have a DB killer but are listed for racing only, so probably not as noisy with DB killer but still louder than legal limit. Would be nice to find out !

 

I have a SC Project Conic on my Street Triple. Absolutely love it. Much better sound without being too loud, tried with dB killer out, stupidly loud. It was listed as race use only as well. I believe because it exceeds legal limits they have to say that. At the moment I absolutely love the look of the twin under seat cans, gives the bike a muscular look that is different than most bikes on the road. Now I could change my mind latter on in this lustfull relationship

 

Had a few Sc projects over the years, just as good as any top makes imo, so think I’m gonna go for it, even though I have a arrow low boy which is meant to have a small link pipe made to fit the RS

 

Great ! Let us know what it's like on the bike !

 

Do SC have dyno figures for their products? I believe SP claim about 4hp increase ...

 

I'm with you on this one re the double cans. (although maybe we are talking about different cans )

After years of Japanese bikes I feel that putting the single pipe on makes it one of the crowd.

Sure with the 2 cans its heavier, & really does nothing for engine performance or handling, but then I ain't Mick Doohan either!

The twin cans, single sided swing arm (another waste of time) are what gives the bike it's character, much like the wrong number of cylinders!

 

Well said. And for the record, there is nothing like a nice set of cans

 

+1

Oh and I like the RS exhaust as is. It is unique among the ordinary.

 

Nothing there at the moment, They usually release vids pretty soon after putting new things online

 

Yes I was thinking about the Connectivity situation but, as I had a Garmin Zumo on my last bike I've decided to have the wiring attached to battery and continue with that ... if it aint broke and all that ..... it's always worked well using the Zumo with my Interphone Bluetooth headset .....

 

Not ordered yet, I always get stuff from my local dealer as it’s easier as I have a ongoing account with them, they’re having trouble with SC project and it will take a few weeks to come in, as soon as it’s on I’ll post a vid

 

I just ordered a SC Project S1 muffler in titanium for my RS. I have never been comfortable with the dual under seat exhaust, and I think the SC muffler will give the bike a more modern design. The dual exhaust was cool in 2005, but not in 2019 IMHO. I will write a review once installed and a test ride is done. In my part of the world it is still winter so need to wait a few
more loooong weeks.

 

Hi Mr.T. I have noticed that you went from being happy with the AR slip-on (with the Db-killer installed) to that it need some adjustment to that it DEFIENITLY needs a remap thru the winter. Can you please elaborate on reason for the need of a remap? I have just ordered a SC Project slip-on and I´m hoping that it will work without a remap. Is it only the lack of bottom end grunt that is changing or will the throttle / fuelling become snatcy etc?

 

Yes it's unique throughout ! The street triple has lost the twin pipes and all the better for it I reckon. This MV 800s are pretty unique looking too spoiled by the cheap looking triple exhaust, .I really like my RS and could have bought any bike within reason absolutely no regrets . Perfect for the road .

 

I notice a few comments on the net about the baffle in the SC cans killing top end to below standard ... At 103l db without baffles this is looking a lot like form over function for the road . Too loud even for Oulton Park with baffle out .. anyone have any opinions or experience with SC "race" cans . Bottom end will no doubt be chopped by the shorter system too. Maybe the baffles can be modified for better result. ?

 

I apologize if I missed it but have you posted video of your Triple with the SC Project exhaust? Perhaps like others, I am interested to get some idea it is. I would like to lose the weight of the twin exhaust without gaining too much noise. I've been hoping that Akrapovic would release a low boy for the RS but my patience is running out.
