What exactly is the "12 minute tune", how do you do it and do I need to do one because I installed the under seat K & N filter yesterday. Thanks!
 
no u do not need the 12 minute tune changing ur under the seat air filter
 
the 12 minute tune starts when your fan starts up then u let it run for 12 minutes if im wrong im sure someone will let u know
 
Start the bike from cold, do not touch the throttle, leave until the fan starts, leave another 12 mins.
Piece of piss
 
Yeah last R3 had one before I did the triples and the bike did breathe a little better, not as much as the triples tho
 
Triples

What are triples? They seem to be mentioned whenever there's talk about air filtration.
 
Medic,
Triples are three K&N air filters you can install at the throttle bodies (behind the bear claw) as opposed to a single under seat stock filter. The stock one pulls in air from behind the seat. Just flip your seat over to see the air channels. Triples breathe better, allowing better air flow, and in turn, better performance. Many who do the triple install also upgrade their exhaust, and that necessitates a new ignition tune.
When you change one input or output, you may need to change others.
Example, at stock the bikes run kinda lean, so if you increase air flow, you maybe should change the fuel table, increasing fuel, to prevent kinda bad stuff rom happening, like burning up the pistons.
Look in the member photos for lots and lots of examples of triples and modified bearclaws.
 
I know this is an old thread but these under seat k and n filters are you supposed to oil the outside only? Or inside and out?
