    I had the same deflating experience with DNK: Performance Placebo. And they still have the gal to spam me with email promotions after sending me off on my bicycle (?). I loaded Penner's map and have had none of the issues I experienced with DNK's. And the performance boost was immediately...

    I dont understand - TTS supercharger Rocket 3R vs Hayabusa TTS supercharger

    So do I: a 2016 XDiavel S and 2020 R3 R, as well as a 2014 Vmax. The three bruisers (-: The XDiavel is like a pitbull on a coiled leash - it kicks 4ss, anything, every time. Its highly strung manner makes it the preferred choice for a spirited Sunday morning breakfast run (even when...

    ROCKET 3 GT WHEELIE !!!

    The motorcycle shaft drive's claim to fame is the ease of maintenance and (perceived) improved reliability. It is also the least efficient final drive (increased friction and heat), the heaviest (highest unsprung weight), and the most expensive to repair/replace (as many a BMW air/oil-head...

    ROCKET 3 GT WHEELIE !!!

    Agreed. Bottoming out forks while riding, say hiting a bump in the road while braking hard, is quite different from slamming the front end down coming off a wheelie. The angle of attack is in line with the forks' compressing geometry in case of the former - both the bike weight transferring...

    ROCKET 3 GT WHEELIE !!!

    Horses for courses. Get yourself a SuperMoto if you wish to wheelie and hoon around, and do it properly. Most of these cool dudes wheelying Rockets on YouTube are definitely not using their own rides, potentially even demo rides that will be sold to some unsuspecting sods. Those who are, need...

    Richard. How does TuneECU process a positive MAP (manifold absolute pressure)? Stock normally aspirated MAP sensors only see negative (suction) pressure. I would have thought it essential to run at least a 2-bar MAP (boost) sensor wired to a PV5 or PV6. I run a 2-bar sensor and PC5 on my...

    Exactly one month later, the same lack of results reporting continues. It s4cks being an early adopter. I have a wardrobe full of EA T-shirts - not often spoken about.

    And a 360 hp Busa would even kick a 400 hp R3's 4ss due to the Busa's better power-to-weight ratio. TTS Busa hp/kg = 360 hp / 264 kg = 1.3636. The 350 kg TTS R3 would need 1.3636 x 350 = 477 hp to achieve the same power-to-weight ratio.

    I installed a bolt-on Trask turbo on one of my Victories. It only does 8 lbs of boost, which allows it to run on a stock engine - meaning no open-heart surgery was necessary to swap in lower-compression pistons, overlap-corrected cams, etc. It (a 2013 Hammer S) produces enough additional power...

    I dont understand - TTS supercharger Rocket 3R vs Hayabusa TTS supercharger

    Same discussion, off on another tangent. More than one tangent, in fact. The OP did not complain about Rockets, per se. He highlighted the exuberant cost of supercharging a Rocket 3 versus supercharging a Busa Gen-2/3, and the disappointing perceived return in the case of the former. Here in...

    Same here. I own two Harleys, three Victories, an Indian, a Goldwing and an R18 - all with more than enough torque - cruisers, baggers, tourers. I also own a VMX17 and XDiavel besides the Rocket - latter-day ICE bruisers (power-cruisers). OTT but most satisfying so. The new Rocket is trying...

    'On a drag strip, Busa wins, no contest'. That is all that counts with these bikes. Power to Weight is generally expressed as hp/lb. In the case of your figures, smaller is better. Beware that next Busa (-:

    So, what is the point of spending all this money to get 300 hp from a 350 kg (770 lb - wet) blown Rocket if less will buy the next guy 360 hp on a 264 kg (581 lb - wet) Busa? I will still need to suddenly switch on the indicators when one stops next to me at the traffic lights. 20% more...
