I no longer bother even reading his posts....
If you are still using the O2 sensor that came with the bike there ECU will adjust the AFR to keep everything from leaning out. I have removed the cat, jet coated the headers, installed slip-ons, replaced the filter with a different brand, and the ECU still manages to keep the bike in the same AFR range that it used the first time it was dynoed.
The only risk to removing them is breaking traction exiting a corner easier. If you road race I wouldn't advise it. For drag racing it might even make launching more difficult.
If the OP likes let him enjoy it.
even if you didnt do a dyno shootout, you could run it at the track in and out and see what happens
I took the primaries off my Gen 1 and it approaches hyperspace speeds now!
Seriously, do the Gen1s have them? I didn't think they did, but it's been quite a while since I've had one apart. I know several other FI liter bikes do though.
He said primaries = he's kidding. And no the Gen 1 bikes do not have secondary TB's only primaries. The secondaries on the Gen2 are used to reduce power out put in B and C mode. It is kinda like a form of traction control.
I just noticed the "primaries" my mind is elsewhere, yeah, it'd run great without those
