Tuning 1200 Adventure

[Ill Phil]

Hello to all in the forum. This is my first post, so please go gentle with me.
Basically, although I am very happy with the all-roundedness of my 1200 Adventure, I really feel that it would benefit from another 10bhp.

Does anyone have a suggestion as how to achieve this without affecting reliability or driveability?

I look forward to your thoughts.

Ill Phil.

Ditch the cat, put on new headers and that's about it - maybe you'll get 5-7bhp but if you're a hp freak then it really is the wrong genre of bike.

Any other "performance add-ons" will only give negligible if any results

Just ride the torque and enjoy the ride

OK. How about...
K+N filter
Drop the std exhaust and cat
I bet the Erics have some fuel maps up for grabs. (Chipped the old 1100 years ago)
Study HP2 and 'S' states of tune for more ideas.

 

[Ill Phil]

How quick was that!

Thanks guys -especially or the speed of your responses.

Just one thing -who are the 'Erics?'

Even some of the older members are confused by "Erics"

buy a 1200S and use the engine out of that. throw the GS motor and the rest of the S in a skip.


doddle.

Are you sure you want more maximum BHP, or would you prefer more torque? See http://www.lumenique.com/Cars/cargeneral/watt.htm

An Akrapovic full exhaust system will give you 8bhp at the wheel, mid-range rpm & loads more torque, K&N filter will prob give you the extra 2.
