. In first it's hard to keep the frontwheel on the ground and it pulls from low revs, say 2.000 rpm up over the red line in one go :smile1: , in stock setting it was a lame duck :cry: that even couldn't compete with the F650, now the F650 won't be able to keep up for even 100 meters. Pulls to about 160 in one go, perfect power & torqueband, only big disadvantage is the consumption which now is close to the double replacement FJR..... :evil: but I knew that before. Also the emissionsh.. from californian spec. was already removed by the previous owner....cheers, Franz
Yes, it is amazing how different bikes will respond to modification. If the stock cams and heads cant make use of bolt on flow improvements, its all for looks and/or weight reduction. But other bikes are almost transformed by a few mods. I have never owned a bike that was so hobbled and clogged up with crap like my '09 FZ1 was. Took about $1200 and a full weekend to strip it down and start over, but it goes like a scalded cat now. That thing is nuts. Had to put a steering damper on it, tank slapper scared the life out of me a few weeks back. :shock:
Tony, what dyno do they have?
