Thanks for that, very informative

I miss the torque that my R3T had over my Roadster, I can really tell the difference.

I remember having to answer a question like this back in HS, I answered it correctly but not in so much detail, the virgins pish that they call petrol in America really affects the power of the bikes.

YES and the Roadster will run away from the R3t WHY ???

Anyone do a big bore kit for the rocket, I want more torque and more bhp lol

Seriously though it would be great if there was a ECU map selector on the dash so you could pick if you wanted torque or bhp today...a lot can be done with the mappings, it seems a waste to not use it.

Do power commander do anything where you can choose from one of several maps whilst out on the bike? Would it be too much to ask when tuning a bike to have atleast two tunes, one for uber torque and one for higher revving hp gains. ANyone know what extremes for torque and hp can be cachaived through mapping alone or am I barking up the wrong tree?

why not have the maximum torque on full rev range that the ecu can give?
