De-tuned touring

Are you sure about the cam? I'd always heard it was all in the tune, exactly the same motors.

Sorry if it's already been asked people, what was the nature of the detune on the touring model compared to the standered RIII? Just recently let go of my 05 model and was thinking of the 10 touring model and seen its over 40hp less?
was it just a different map? Can the power drop between models be replaced with a simple map upgrade?

multiple messages are pushed. Dino graphics are on display. In short, they limited the secondary throttle opening to 40% in touring. Ride and gas mileage at the expense of performance. With just a tune on my 2013 R3T, I increased the power from 88 to 120 hp. on the rear wheel and an insane 151 lbf-ft of torque. D&D slip-ons gave me another 8 hp. and made the bike loud. Looking back, I probably wouldn't have put on D&D pipes. Yes, same engine..... Oh, and I put in a higher flow K&N filter when I installed the pipes.

Check out previous posts. You will find dyno charts. In a nutshell, they factory limited the secondary throttle plates to 40% open on the touring. Smoothness and gas mileage at the expense of performance. With just a tune, on my 2013 R3T I went from 88 to 120 HP at the back wheel and an insane 151 ftlbs of torque. The D&D slip-ons only gained me another 8 HP and made the bike loud. I probably would not have put on the D&D pipes with hindsight. Yes, same engine.....Oh, and I did put in a higher flow K&N filter when I put on the pipes.
