Suzuki GSX-R1000 and Kawasaki ZX-6R family service!

Posted May 18th, 2012 in Kawasaki, Servicing, Suzuki.

We’ve been inundated with service work and MOTs recently. These two bikes are owned by a father and son; the GSX-R we’ve serviced from new, which makes our life a lot easier, and is lovely. We’ve seen the Zx-6R twice before, which also helps. An interim service for us (and it’s not about ticking boxes) [...]

KTM SMT 990 full ECU remap

Posted May 16th, 2012 in ECU Remap, KTM.

The customer who owns this KTM 990 SMT, fitted with Remus cans, lives down in Kent and dropped his bike in with us for a week to be remapped. Just to make the point at this junction we’ve seen several forum-oriented maps uploaded and, to be honest, they’re scary. We remap any bike’s stock map, and [...]

Triumph 1050 Speed Triple full ECU remap

Posted May 14th, 2012 in ECU Remap, Triumph.

The customer who owns this Speed Triple fitted the pipe and high-flow air filter, but wasn’t happy with the custom ECU maps that the Triumph dealer was loading in – the bike felt like it was lacking something, especially in the midrange where he was expecting to get more drive. And he was right. So, [...]

KTM SMR 990 full ECU remap

Posted May 11th, 2012 in ECU Remap, KTM.

This KTM SMR 990 came in fitted with a full Akrapovic exhaust system and Motohooligan airbox. The owner, who’s switched on and tech-savvy, had tried to disconnect the SAI valve using the Motohooligan plates at the cylinder heads plus a resistor inline. He’d also attempted to deal with the lambda sensors, not entirely successfully. We [...]

Posted May 9th, 2012 in Kawasaki, Race Bikes.

MCN’s Adam ‘Chad’ Child is doing the Northwest 200 and the Isle of Man TT this year for the first time, and bought his Kawasaki ER650 in for a bit of preparation. He’s doing the NW200 with a standard engine (which we’ve set up on the Dyno) and when he’s back we’ll fit the tuned [...]

Ducati Streetfighter ECU remap for lambda switch-off

Posted May 4th, 2012 in Ducati, ECU Remap.

This customer bought his Ducati Streetfighter in with a Power Commander already fitted, and a snatchy throttle response. He’s sorting his bike out in stages, and wanted the lambda sensor switching off, which is all we did via the ECU and the stock map. We rode the bike afterwards, but weren’t really happy with the [...]

Posted May 2nd, 2012 in ECU Remap, Power Commander, Suzuki.

The customer who owns this Suzuki GSX-R750K8 had a fitted a GP Pro end-can, but wasn’t happy with the way the bike was running (we hear this a lot…). He bought it in for a sort out; we fitted a Power Commander PC III, 02 Eliminator Kit and K&N air filter, then mapped the whole [...]

KTM 990 Adventure ECU remap

Posted April 30th, 2012 in ECU Remap, KTM.

This KTM came in fitted with Akrapovic cans, but wearing a stock air filter – the bike’s owner came in with the usual “Bloody thing, it leaps about all over the place, can’t hold a line with it through damp roundabouts and corners, sort it out…!” So we remapped everything; first, switching off the lambda [...]

1997 Kawasaki ZX-7RR & 2007 Kawasaki ZX-10R service and Dyno run

Posted April 27th, 2012 in Kawasaki, On the Dyno, Rare Groove.

This customer bought us two Kwaks – his ZX-10R and ZX-7RR. We gave the later bike a post-winter service, swapped out all the fluids and checked the strength of his anti-freeze, which he was worried about (all was fine, though; his was good for between -7° and -10° C, OK for the winters we’ve been [...]
