Anyone running decat and power plate setup

[Biden.T]

Thinking about going with a decat and adding a power plate to open things up a bit on my Norden but now I've heard mixed things and while some say it really wakes the bike up, other people are talking heat management and throttle response quirks. then theres me that isnt really chasing top end gains, just looking for a bit more grunt and smoother flow without throwing the whole system off balance, send in suggestions

I ran a decat with a power plate on my Norden for a while and it definitely gave the bike a bit more punch. The throttle felt snappier but I noticed extra heat near the rear shock, so I added a heat shield to keep things in check. If you're not chasing max power, it's worth trying but have you looked into whether your fuel mapping will need adjusting? That made a difference for me.

Decat and power plate can add grunt and flow, but expect more heat and a sharper throttle. If you wanna go for it, add a fuel controller or tune to keep things balanced

Absolutely, I'm on the same page. A decat and a power plate definitely enhance performance, but you'll need a fuel controller to keep everything running smoothly and manage the additional heat.
