Pulled the trigger on the full Akrow low mount system

I'm assuming this exhaust (PN 96482081A) would not be compatable with a '24 V4R, since it does not show up as an option in the configurator for the bike?

Not sure if that logic tracks.. the only reason I say that is I don't need to leave the gear because I'm going from 0-55 in first, 2nd 55-95, (I could almost skip through 2nd with brentune and go right to third to hit 120mph (i dont go much faster than that on roads.) But it's unruly during that process, the bike rips. It's not like with the Deussen I'm getting to higher speeds faster, feels like I'm just shifting more. The Deussen does sound and ride soo clean, but that makes me feel like it's because it's more tame? My brother actually mentioned the sound when I pulled up to the office, he immediately asked if I did something to my bike. The shifting is arguably better, hard to find neutral at times, its almost like its not an audible click, it just winds up there with a super soft tap down from 2nd. Maybe it needs to relearn that part, idk.
Totally against anything I typically care about, but I might time myself on a 1/4 mile with each tune and see if it reveals anything. Do 3 on each and find the average. Maybe have someone else do the same on my bike. Level the results. I am not all about speed on this bike as I don't race it.. cleanliness of the map is important to me, but on a track I think i would want it all right there and let the DWC keep my front in check, not my map.

So you feel the brentune is more violent ? What about exhaust sounds on upshifts compared to each tune . If you could do a sound comparison of the two that would be awesome. Just to see what you’re mentioning about sound being different.
 
Just got home, mid range has more punch now and it’s breathing easier. Being a holiday Friday weekend and I had to ride in DC traffic to get home, no chance to open it up really. The cylinder deactivation is gone now. Poof. A few pics. You can see the two rear O2 sensors here. No way to tell if it’s got front ones.

The insert that goes where the muffler was, should be in tomorrow. This kit came with carbon heat shield and new heel guards too. Very tidy looking.

I’m going to throw on my GoPro and make a couple videos of start-ups and riding on each spirited.. hopefully it will be useful to anyone on the fence. Dropping $1k plus on a tuner is a big investment. Riding Deussen tune this morning.. it is an incredible map for the bike. In the 10k plus range it sings. I’m sure he has really good reasons why his isn’t as violent as the stage 2 in 1st and early range. I really need to get some more hours on it. This might sound weird too.. Shell gas is way better in my area at least than Sunoco/wawa. It’s way more noticeable than I would have imagined. The Sunoco by me is actually like running 89 even with their 93.
 
Violent doesn’t equal faster or more powerful, especially on a track. Power delivery should be smooth and linear, unless you want YouTubers to think it’s better.

You mention that the cylinder deactivation is gone after the tune; I wonder if the "official" Ducati/Akra upmap also disables the cylinder deactivation?

Standing start testing is very dependent on the launch. Roll-on runs would likely reveal more about the tune (30-130 or 50-150 for example).
 
Got a bit of a ride in this evening. Top speed was about 115 or so. It’s running nicely and feel like the new map also changed the feel of the EB for sure and the other parameters as well. So I’ll have to fiddle a bit with those settings. Today was just a highway blast from DC to Annapolis. I’ll do a backroad ride tomorrow morning. I’m

I have the official Ducati map on the same system and bike but cylinder deactivation is still there with bike at operating temp. Strange.
 
Anyone else wrap their exhaust … I did it awhile ago and too it off. I fried my GPS and figured I’d throw some in to keep the heat at bay, left it on for a long time. Took it for a ride today and put it right back on when I got home. Literally makes my bike tolerable to ride. Keeps so much heat out from under me. Was just wonder if anyone else messed around with it.
