I put these on between 1 and 2 years ago when I thought I was on the upgrade path. Since I abandoned the endless search for more hp, I decided it was more important to me to reduce emissions. They are in fine shape. $25 shipping included. PayPal [email protected]
I noticed a difference on my 09, but it rarely made a difference considering my riding style. I slow enough to roll on the throttle before I enter a turn. I don't go really fast very often. If I rode the 09 on the track or broke a lot more laws, I would certainly want the FCE. I also noticed...
Well, I was born and lived my whole life in Texas. Austin feels just right...unless I move to Portland, Vancouver, Seattle, Madison, Ashville...etc. Does that mean I'm not a real Texan?
I love Austin. Came up here in the early '70's for the lakes and the music scene, moved here for college and never left. I love that some kook can bicycle nearly naked and few get upset about it. The homeless are a reality. As sad as it is, I like living in a place where that's not hidden from...
Reminds me of when I overhauled my Honda Elsinore 250 (1974). Got it back together, gassed it up, and was getting ready to kick it over...when I noticed the wrist pin clip sitting on the workbench.
Pete, maybe we can do a little seat-of-the-pants research on this. Aside from the new ECU, our bikes are similarly set up, performance-wise. I have a slip on and K&N filter, but ran out of money before doing more. Your 2006 with the new ECU should be a lot like mine if I get the 2010 ECU...
compare 09 and 10
Has anyone here compared the 09 and the 10 on the road and have a good comparison of the performance change with the new ECU? Pete has am 06 that was well known to have issues, so I am unsure about how much of a difference the new ECU would have on an 09.
Before I got the pipe, I talked to Ivan and he said that little was likely to change without other mods. I bought it because it looked and sounded so good and dropped about 4-5 kg from the mass of the bike. Ivan also said, 'People can make a dyno say whatever they want it to' when I asked about...
It may have perked up the midrange a bit over stock. 20 hp is pure fantasy. It's such a nice piece; it's too bad the manufacturer lies so shamelessly about the power.
