It's normal. You had it with the stock pipes and you just never noticed because it wasn't loud. If you do a search the forum for solutions; there are a few. Ivan's tune and marbling come to mind.

That's what I was looking for. Thanks. As for the front, I've heard people do it but it might not be worth me effort. The front lasts quite awhile.

I ride in the rain way too much to be concerned about the wet weather traction. I've been happy with the Dunlop traction, just not the wear. Though the front lasted about 15k miles.

By your own statement philippe, your statement was wrong. If mid is 89 and Kawasaki recommends a minimum of 90, then 89 mid grade would not meet the minimum requirement.
