.040 Over
Guys,
I've done a fair amount of reading on this site. I have a 07 Std. Purchased it new in Sept 09. I immediately installed Jardines and the dealer remapped with the pipes installed. Minor backfiring...some due to exhaust leak that I fixed...the remainder I barely notice. I love the sound.
I am considering adding a PCIII and triple K&N filters. While I do this I may consider removal of the secondaries.
I have some questions...If I get a GI-pro is there any reason to remove the secondaries? Secondly, do all of these mods affect driveability in a negative way...I realize full power will be available in 1st - 3rd but this in only a 7% gain (from what I am told)...Does the bike become jerky in city driving or a pain to operate in commuting use?
3rd question...I am only getting 140 miles per tank now...how much may I expect this to drop considering I drive simularly?
Lastly I see many have done many of the same mods in conjunction with one another...has anyone done before and after dyno runs to confirm or deny performance gains. The tech I deal with at my Triumph dealer feels I may be giving up too much to get some peak HP and TQ gains...smaller curve but higher peak...but possible over all less usable power...is this possible?
I appreciate your help.
My secondary reason...My buddies 2002 BMW 130 HP K1200RS that was thoroughly flogged by the R3 last fall...he is upgrading to the 163 HP K1200 (06-08). I want to deal out a similar beating this spring...make him realize his purchase was fruitless.
Happy new year!!!!
