Doesn't matter. If i steal it, your insurance covers me...at least i think that is still the case.
I'm sure Kwacky will confirm or tell me I am talking bollocks.

He's got no insurance.
Even if he had it, the insurance will only cover claims made by others as a result of your actions. Any payments made will be recovered from you by the insurer.

The bike is now 100% fully ready. Cleaned, prepped and really to hit the rev limiter as I jump the Mountain on the sighting lap. Obviously

Lol.. 189. What exhaust do you have? I'd expect 5 more peak horsepower and 10 more in the mid. Gonna be a weapon

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
Are they just looking at power maps or are they looking to make other changes? There's so much that can be done now the coding is direct onto the ECU and not just fuel maps changed on a piggy back controller (Power Commander)

When a bike comes in with fuelling or ignition problems they told me the first thing they ask is has it got a power commander fitted ,then take it off and do a direct remap
I chose them through recommendation and because I didnt want a piggy back system,they set up my suspension while I waited for the ECU code and it feels good now not as harsh
They remap lots of speed nipples and said they are nice engines and feel great after a remap

Was reading the PS mag article on the new S1000RR that Hickman's team were prepping for this years TT. The old bike is faster than the new bike.

He was saying in one interview that the new S1000RR road bike is very close to his old race bike in terms of time (closed circuit)

Re: What did you do to your bike today ??
I know someone with the MSport Edition and his has been in BMW more than it's been out. I reckon they've changed their Factor of Safety in a bid to save weight and cost.
We know they moved away from Brembo calipers for that reason.
He has the cracked carbon wheel. He didn't have the problem that BMW reported though.

Definitely remap is the way to go these days.Perkles wrote:they can change everything the standard map controlsBlade wrote:Are they just looking at power maps or are they looking to make other changes?

Is the bike limited in first 3 gears? I've heard of people having this coded out. I think there is alot they can change or modify.
I sent them an email enquiry for a remap and wanted to see a dyno of a previous speed triple to see what to expect. I've asked twice now but not heard anything back. If you don't mind give them a nudge for me please buddy if your in there

A remap is 380 quid he will tell you every bike is slightly different and he will only remap your bike with a new map written against your factory base map ,I doubt he will share customers bikes maps
Just do a search on youtube for dave woods racing speed nipple remap or ask on the Triumph forums
