999 Louder

Riding my bike this morning I gave it the beans after bumbling through town and the exhaust note seemed to get much louder than normal ,so loud that I thought I had holed it or one of the welded seams had gone, i stopped the bike had a good look around it and found nothing, the system is a titanium Termi...got back on the bike and rode home.
Never noticed the note change like that before, but I was caning it high up the rev range,not very often I do that, in fact I cant remember the last time I really did hammer it...beautiful noise though, i might have to give it some real hammer more often...hope i'm being paranoid.

 

Been thru all the welds,had the seat unit off and ran it,cant feel it blowing anywhere,it wasn't popping or barking on the overrun either...maybe I was imagining it.

 

Yeah funny you should say that,I have been having problems with wax in my ears,they pop sometimes and my hearing improves... lol

I stripped it all down ,took the heat shield off and ran it last night just to be absolutely sure,Its probably my imagination, i've had negative experiences with the back box before, and I suppose its always in the back of my mind, when I first bought the bike and took it for its first (to me) service the subframe had broken and damaged the back box, and fractured a weld at the rear of the fuel tank!, i had frame,box and tank welded and thought no more of it..come the next biannual service the box had gone again and I was told it was past welding, so I forked out for a good used TI box and it seems to be holding up...the joys of owning exotica.
