Suzuki GSX-R1000K7 Bazzaz dual-map Dyno set-up

Posted February 28th, 2012 in ECU Remap, Suzuki.

The customer who owns this Suzuki GSX-R1000K7 has been running into a problem we hear about a lot: British track days! Or, to be more precise, the noise limits at British track days. ‘Noisy’ days have recently dropped from 105dB to 102dB, which is making it even harder to get bikes through noise testing at [...]

Honda CB1000R Power Commander PC V and 02 Eliminator Kit Dyno and set-up

Posted February 24th, 2012 in Honda, Power Commander.

Another Honda CB1000R came in recently for some Dyno time and full set-up of its Power Commander PC V. The owner had fitted the PC V and 02 Eliminator kit himself, and also dealt with the secondary air; he’d bought the bike in for a straightforward set-up, and saved some cash by doing some of [...]

KTM 990 Adventure full ECU remap

Posted February 15th, 2012 in ECU Remap, KTM.

We remapped the ECU of this KTM 990 Adventure using the Tuneboy system; we’ve used it before on a Triumph, with success, so wanted to know how it worked on the big V-twin Katooms as they now supply a lead. It came in with the usual symptoms – snappy throttle response at low rpm, and [...]

Grey import Honda CL400 service and MOT

Posted February 9th, 2012 in Honda, Rare Groove.

A proper rare groove, and not the sort of bike – or work – that we’d normally take in, this grey-import 2000 Honda CL400 single, but a young couple came in to see us over Xmas, and were really struggling because they couldn’t get anybody to do a 12,000 mile service on their bike. We [...]

Honda CB1000R Power Commander PC V and 02 Eliminator Kit fit and Dyno set-up

Posted February 7th, 2012 in Honda, Power Commander, Road Bikes.

A bit of a rare beast around these parts (although we have seen a couple); a Honda CB1000R. The stock fuelling, with the standard exhaust can fitted, is quite good to be honest. But unfortunately when you bin the stock can and add an aftermarket item the fuelling goes well awry… It’s not bad at [...]

Honda Hornet 600 racebike pre-season Dyno shakedown

Posted February 2nd, 2012 in Honda, On the Dyno, Race Bikes.

We still see plenty of Honda Hornet 600s through our workshop; this one (which we’ve dealt with in the past…) was bought recently by ex-Hornet racer Andrew Bedford. He’s planning to do a few track days on it, and maybe a bit more racing in selected classes. Our job for him was to do a [...]
