I was looking at getting a 2000 F4. i had a question maybe someone can help me with. it has a hindle exhaust, and i heave *heard* that after putting an aftermarket exhaust on a bike you should get a power commander and have the bike remapped. does this only work on injected bikes? and if not, should this be something that is necessary on a bike with an aftermarket exhaust, or just optional.

rrasco,

THe F4s have carbs, so a power commander won't help. With a new exhaust, it is often necessary to have the carbs re-jetted to match the increased flow through the exhaust. If it is just a slip on, then it may not need to be re-jetted, but most full exhaust system installations will have to have the jets swapped out to richen the fuel mixture. Otherwise the bike may have real flat spots in the power delivery. Just my two cents, hope it helps.
