If you had crossover pipes I would agree with you but I don't see what would cause any sucking action if you don't have them.
Besides that you told me you only had suction on the rear pipe not on the front.
If what you had was normal it would be happening on both pipes.
You should do a proper leak down test on your bike to be sure.
Whatever it is ain't much and you have been very happy with that motor so far why spend $6k on something you don't really need????

I'm just going off what you told me on the phone.
When I've got less than $8k in the bank then you're damn right I'm gonna act like $6k is a lot of money!!!!!!!

I'm 47 but due to circumstances beyond my control I am unable to get a regular job at this time.
At this late stage I don't think retirement will ever be an option for me.

I would die if I couldn't work, The wife would kill me. Besides I don't have extra income coming in if I retired. As healthy as I am Ill probably make it to 100 and I would need about a million to retire now, so off to work I go.
Just one of the reasons for the V111, hope it will last me the rest of my riding days.
