I have a triple K&N system on the way and was wondering if I needed to change the tune if the exhaust stays stock. Basically will just the intake swap make the mix more lean if exhaust is unchanged.

I have ordered a viking 3-1 from Paul on the forum but sadly it will take a few months to get them. I know I will need another tune when I put that bad boy on.

Up till now I have used tune ECU but could not find a tune for a classic with open intake and stock exhaust. When the time comes I will also have to hunt down a KN + Viking 3-1.

I read about the Dobek AFR + while perusing these forums and was wondering if my current tune + Dobek would be sufficient when making these staged changes without worrying about swapping tunes?
 
Paul will usually send you a tune for the bike, just mention it to him to be sure.
 
just my opinion
if u still have the cat on the bike i would not put a tune in it.
 
My opinion is nothing more then a TORS tune leave the secondaries alone until you make a big move like adding the exhaust. When it comes to exhaust what ever you take in, you have to breathe out or its about like tits on a nun, balls on a priest, or gosh darn piss ants!!!! all useless!!!!!
 
Sounds like I'll go at it without a tune and see what happens then. Look what showed up in the mail today!


I also think I've decided to do the 240hp Carpenter kit when winter hits. Figure I'll already be halfway there with intake and exhaust. This should set me up for a bike I'll want to keep for a few years.
 
Project update, got the new filters in and cleared all that plastic junk out. Ran super rich when I started it up and fogged out the garage. Then I realized I forgot to re-hook a vacuum line. After fixing, all was good and seemed to idle/rev fine with the current tune.



Started moving my mess from under seat (2 amps, blue tooth control, and under glow receiver) to the new found space and decided I should install it as a switched block. The question is, does anyone know a good place to splice into by battery area that powers with ignition switch?


trying to send pics but apparently one drive hates me right now

If you are going with the Carpenter kit, you might want to go with their exhaust since it's designed to work with the extra air your motor will move.

I looked at it, but I went Viking for 2 reasons.

1. Looks to sit quite a bit closer to bike body increasing distance between metal and my leg.
2. I think it looks better.

Giving it the old eyeball, flow difference should be negligible With the small difference in tube diameter

Now if I went carpenter, I'd probably have my exhaust by now and not waiting another 3 months /cough hurry up /cough
