I love that smell it means I just had some fun.

If you dont have a smell you didnt ride long enough

Nothing like the sweet smell of a 6hr ride in the heat

My saddlebags get it bad although the tail bag doesn't seem to. So the secret is get the pillion her own ride

i don't think much of the stinkissue site, we've received more responses to silly polls in various 919 forums than they have posts...

Janet is the one you're speaking of regarding the CAT fix, she's over in the U.K. and HondaUK worked the issue, the fix involved a CAT AND a new ECU...this fix has not been sanctioned for Honda, nor is it a factory approved fix, if you contact Honda N.A. they pretty much deny any knowledge of an issue...

you can accomplish much the same w/ a PC3 and adding a CAT if you like...

another option is exhaust end cap extensions...i'm workin on a 919 HowTo Page , but there are notes in several of the 919 forums

I think I would deny any knowledge of it also, given all the negative animal rights letters you are likely to receive...<fixing a cat by adding extensions to its ass and shoving an ECU up its tail section! > better use a set of those titanium covered Icon mits if you want to have any hands left after that manuever.

holy freakin timewarp...

Both VP Fuels and Torco Racing Fuels make a fuel fragrance.



A better suggestion would be for you to just suck it up and accept the fuel smell as part of the riding experience.

What are you going ask for next, to ride without wind noise?

And don't kid yourself...taking an educated guess, they add fragrance to their race fuels.

I never said anyone used the stuff, I just said that it was available.

Go to a muffler shop and have them make a pair of exhaust extentions for your stock cans. I can't remember what size aluminized steel they started out with, then he flaired one end just big enough for a tight fit when slipped over your existing muffler extention. The other end got a 45 degree slash cut. Polish them long enough and they look like stainless. Very good match. After you're done with the polishing, JB weld them in place while on the bike, just to make sure they're absolutely the way you want them. Then you'll have to take the mufflers off the bike and back to the muffler shop to get them welded for good. Mine are about 5 inches on the long side. Zero smell.

This I gotta see. Post a pic, please.

Pete, give me your e-mail add, I'd be glad to show them off. They turned out really well. I get favorable comments on them frequently.

[tikki50]

use turbo blue if your that worried about the smell, it sure gives a unique smell and it's pleasing to any race enthusiast.

Here's a pic of RLJ's custom exhaust tips. Definitely not my cup o' tea, but looks like a clean job...

[Custom900]

Well, one thing's for sure, it's unique. I still have no idea how that would or could cut down on the exhaust smelling though. The air is still going to draft up and around.

[RLJ10X]

They work and quite well, thank you. Before the extentions, Silver was constantly getting exhaust residue on it. No more mess, no more smell. Period. I hate high exhaust. WTF were they thinking? No, my extentions aren't as impressive as a pair of $600 Sato's, but I still have my $600.

You know, I thought poor RLJ was going to get flamed like crazy, but those are actually all right looking, and it's a nice job.

Add 1 ounce of pure acetone to a full tank of fuel. (no joke)

[taurag]

try putting a perfumed filter around the hole

I tried that she said it burned
