great video man

sounds and looks awesome, i saw flames coming out on the last rev!! Crazy!! I like your mods though I've read that this could ruin the engine if you install the completely open exhaust as there is no back-flow prevention! Removing baffle is the worst thing you can do on a bike! I saw ppl complaining on forums their ktm dukes are a trash due engine failure, they dont realize that this is one of the reason why this happens! Flames are not healthy for the engine at all. Owners are experiencing cracking pistons and valves failures due this kind of mods. This will reduce the life of your engine as every fun costs money. Congrats for this beauty and long life ktm! I am an 790 duke happy owner. Awesome video btw, drive safe guys.

My first time watching your channel I own a 2020 890r I love the bike and I really enjoyed your content I’ll be watching more of ya🙂✌🏻

Took the baffle out, baffle in or out is more for noise regulations. If you end up modifying the whole exhaust system from stock such as changing the headers/mid pipe/muffler then you should definitely get a proper tune for it. In my case, we just used the Akrapovic map (we had the dealer install that so it isn’t on the video) and then we installed the exhaust ourselves.

The Duke and RC8C have been good for us. The RC8C has a 890 motor and nearly 2000 race miles on it without issue (I change oil every 2-3 trackday and every race weekend). I can’t speak for long term, but it’s been good for the last year! In my opinion, manufacturing has improved across every manufacturer. Ducati used to be inconsistent in the early 2000s but they’ve improved significantly. Same with other European manufacturers like Triumph. If you go European, go with a newer generation!
