Upgrades Complete

Yesterday, my brother and I spent the better part of 8 hours installing Jardines, triple K&Ns, and PCV w/Autotune on my 2011 R3T. We also removed the secondaries.

After loading a map provided by Hanso, I took the bike for a test ride and could not believe the difference in performance.

I ran two 20 minute test rides and checked the trims and accepted them into a modified map after each run. After the first run, I did have a couple of -20 trims, mostly at lower RPM/TP. After the second run, things started to settle down and I didn't have any trims greater than +/-11.

The only observation I made was that we had a difficult time removing the screws holding the secondaries. After partially stripping two screws, we used a soldering iron on the heads of the screws before we tried to remove them and they came right out. There must be thread-lock on there that needs to be heated prior to removal.

Overall the project went smoothly and the bike runs great! After a few more runs, I'm sure the Autotune will trim things out even more and it will run even better. I plan to put the bike on a dyno within the next few weeks to see what numbers it is producing. I'll report back.

Thanks to those here who answered my questions over the past couple of weeks and thanks to Hanso for providing the map. You guys helped make this a successful project.

Hi, i have a 09 tourer and are interested in what you have just done. Which K&N filter did you use and did you have to cut the bear claw? Hope all goes well.

Sounds great now if you have the time while your on the dyno have the tech check the initial A/F when you dump the throttle. I am wondering if the autotune pulls fuel from the accelerator feature in the ECU since it will read rich when you first whack the throttle. It might not because there might not be enough samples taken by the auto tune to think and calculate it as rich. I am also curious as to how much more if any HP the operator can get out of it andif he can see if the auto tune wide band sensor is accurate with his. Some of these units might be off a wee bit just because the O2 sensor is not as calibrated and a good sniffer that come on a dyno. I know the inovate one is off a little and I found out on Wayne trips dyno that the sensor from the WeggoIII is dead on with his multi spectrum gas annylizer. Just curious don't anyone read into this to much. But if it is off any I will want to take that in consideration when I hook mine up. In fact I might go so far as to have a second bung welded onto my pipe for comparison. That way I can run the powercommander dash with the sensor and do live adjustments and or comparison with the live tuning of tune boy. Of course that will be only if I can read the target screen on tune boy while riding. I am glad to see these companies are advancing their technology andwish Weggo could come up with a dash to be able to adjust fueling like the power commander and tune boy.

Again thnks for the information this is where I like to be (in learning mode)

I used the K&N RU-2780. I did not have to cut the bear claw, but it is a tight fit. I may do something to allow more free air around the filters eventually (cut the claw or buy an aftermarket "open" cover). I feel like the filters could breath better if the claw wasn't surrounding them.

I don't plan to have the bike dyno-tuned. I might put it on a dyno at the local dealer just to see the HP and torque curve/numbers. I loaded a base map supplied by Hanso (with some slight changes) and am allowing the Autotune to trim things in. So far it seems to be working out just fine. I check the trims and accept them into the base map after almost every ride and I notice less and less trimming is needed as time goes by. I still get some popping when i dump the throttle after hard acceleration, but that seems to be lessening as well.
