Checa's Exhaust. Why different?

They are using different length exhausts to tune the power curve of the engine. Apparently, they power isn't the smoothest on the TenKate bikes and hits pretty hard and they have had to tune the TC to help smooth it out, but it looks like they are trying to tune the engine differently to make the power more useable.

decent explanation but good catch nonetheless

Tis the explaination that SpeedTV gave during the race.

I could only imagine what those guys are attempting to process any given second.

I'd like to hear a little. With the plugs I like to use, one can hear a bit.

I think TK is trying anything to improve Checa's results ... I doubt this is going to help. :laugh:

REA said no b/c theyre ugly....???:th_SmlyROFL:..o man,,, ten kate is in trouble...

imagine that in a post race interview

TV: "So, Carlos, you had problems today, couldn't quite match it with the front runners?"

Checa: "well, the bike was just too loud and I couldn't concentrate on what I had to do. Every time I started catching up there was this annoying throaty pitched squeal coming through my helmet and .FAAAAAAARK it was driving me mad, it's the best I could do"

Bwahahahahahahaha Get freakin grip.
