Is It worth the the gain

[fatcatsirius]

Hello evreyone I just got back from a ride ,I just had D&Ds and the download installed I also removed tha underseat baffeland drilled the air box all seems fine .Actually it feels pretty good I wonder how much more can be pulled out of it and is it worth it.

In stock form the R3T makes in the neighborhood of 90 or so rear wheel horsepower. You have probably gained in the neighborhood of 12-15 horsepower and an equivalent amount of torque. I had the same setup at one point.

Should you choose to keep going you can reasonably expect to gain another 30 or so horsepower with a full exhaust system, triple filters and a matching tune. See my signature line for my dyno results.

Whether or not its worth it is up to you. I can tell you the change to a full exhaust and filters is much more dramatic than the change you've seen so far. But, you have to be ready for a much louder bike. Both on the exhaust and intake side.

Thanks GPMAZ I am going to give this some thought ,cold weather is closing fast but I am going to daytona in march . I am planning to stop at waynes in birmingham on the way down. Not to sure if I want all the intake noise and any louder exhaust . The cost isnt really a factor .Thanks for the information.

I need to explane my self .My question is it worth it I meant Is the bike still enjoyable.
I have ruined some pretty nice bikes trying to go faster if you know what i mean

I find it quite enjoyable. There are of course trade offs. Aside from the noise, which isn't so bad if you're wearing a good set of ear plugs, is the fuel mileage. On a good day, I get around 32 MPG. Before the mods I was getting over 40.

If you're happy with what you've done so far, leave that way for awhile. The good news, its all reversible. You can always go back to stock.

Another way of 'going faster' is to uprate the suspension and brakes. That way you don't have any noise issues (other than the scraping of the boards I guess)

What kind of uprate to the brakes are you talking about? I'm interested.

for ultimate braking may I suggest looking into Beringer Brakes these are among the best in the business

Pretech 6 pot brake calipers are cheaper & work very well.
They slow my 350hp down OK
I have supplied them to a lot of R3 owners, rear brake can be underslung for different look too.

I reckon HH pads and braided lines are enough on the touring as it's not badly underbraked, any more and then you're into stiffening up the front end imho
