How do I get in touch with AVC8130 Anthony on this forum? I am having problems with vibrations in the handlebars and foot pegs. Thanks.

So, what was the result of putting on an Arrow header AND exhaust? Did you get a re-flash from Anthony? How does it run, and do you have any suggestions for someone who wants to put on a full Arrow system like you did?

I’ve now got the full arrow system on. I started by pairing the Arrow decat headers with the oem can for a while and she ran fine. Now I’ve got the arrow can on as well and she still runs fine but now i can’t hear so many rattles!! ECU flash at the end of this month. I’m going for more low and mid range grunt and I’m told there are big gains to be had out of these motors

You won't be disappointed. Tell Chris that Jim in Japan says hi and is still loving his flash!

I know. This is the second bike he will have flashed. My bikes tend to go from Chris over to Darren at MCT before I’m happy with them. Darren is booked for next month!!

Yep, Darren is the suspension guru. He strips down front and back and upgrades valves and springs etc checks and inflates nitrogen bladder (my other bike was down to 2 bar when it should have been 10) and sets it all up to your requirements. I’ll be going for ride comfort this time rather than handling through the bends. Last time it had unexpected benefits such as reduced hand arm fatigue because the front suspension now stays more static and you don’t have to constantly alter throttle position when going over bumps

Be sure to post your review of the suspension mods on here MattR, it is something I have been considering but it would probably mean an over night stay having to ride across from Wales.
Just wondering, have any of the U.K. owners had their S10 modded and set up by Maxton?
Sounds good. I'll be interested to know how the stock S10 nitrogen bladder measured up.
I think as MCT use either Ohlins and it used to be Wilbers but that might have changed you get top drawer parts. I believe Maxton are reworked Sachs parts but done well. MCT is also ride in Ride out.

It will be the OEM bladder but he sticks a needle into it to measure the pressure and pumps in more nitrogen if required (well that’s what he did in my other bike, I assume the S10 will be the same)

I’m booked in tomorrow (of course rain is forecasted) and I’ll be looking for extra grunt low down. I want to be able to dig her out of the hairpins on the mountain roads without playing with the gearbox too much. Top end on this bike is irrelevant(she does over the ton but she don’t sound happy there)

Apparently Arrow and Akras are the two best exhausts for the S10. But Chris recons that the OEM headers are pretty good and that if the cat is removed they are as good as the Arrow headers that I got.
