A day on the Africa Twin.........

[(RIP) Tunneruk]

Sadly we all know what will happen to this thread within the next 10 posts or so

Ordinarily I'd say I should go and buy myself a lottery ticket as I'm so good, however it was too so easy to predict some of the tedious drivel being written within this thread that I think I'll just congratulate myself with a biscuit.

Turn off the telly if it all gets too drivelly and predictable for you - one is not forced to watch

Oh ffs !!

The WR and DRZ are off road bikes .

The AT is a trail

No need to swear
You are Wrong again though

A KTM525exc is an off road bike
A DRZ400 is a trail bike
An Africa Twin is a road bike in trail bike clothes
And a a 1200GS is a touring bike in adventure clothes




Oh and a Multiatrada 1200 is an Enduro bike ?

This sorts the fueling flat spots

Bike on the Dina Pro dynamometer at Hilltop - lean fueling fixed (AFR ratio was between 16.0 and 17.5) and is now down to between 12 and 13 and flat - no more spikes in delivery

Oh and now we have added Hilltop into the equation, things just got interesting around here!

Kewl - so Honda don't know how to do a simple thing like make their engines fuel properly either - tis amazing how all these major manufacturers are so crap at engine design that a simple little back street tuner can fix their badly designed bikes in an instant - Hilltop must be truly awesome

Honda are working under different parameters though.

Fuel consumption , exhaust emissions , DB levels etc etc.

You not heard of EU emission and noise regulation?

Echo ......

You'd think he'd be we'll up on EU regs ......

Engine tuners start off with a blank canvas.

Engine manufacturers start off with a rule book.

bit harsh . Don't blame me , I don't work for Ducati. How they can call that massive thing, as nice as it is, an Enduro is beyond me

I think it was MCN or bike or recently compared a Euro3 to Euro4 bike (zx10r I think) to see the difference in performance and the way the bike behaved. A lot of work done to produce a similar amount of power but it didn't deliver it as nicely.
They covered off the change requires including the necessity to eliminate fuel vapours when the bike is garaged.

Euro 6 will be next , same as cars . That could be fun. Maybe electric is the way forward after all ?

Ohh God he's here again
Any sign of that software hack you've been working on?

Off course I have, so a re-mapping increases emissions does it?

Probably, but for as long as they keep on saying bikes don't require emmisions testing at MOT time who gives a toss. The day they start testing then maybe some of this will stop .

People who care about pollution might give a toss.

Well I will when I can get straight answers

The people who care about the environment should campaign for more bikes on the road being used by commuters , instead of cars , rather than worry about a one man band tuning operation : thumb
