Did your HP run different after it's last BM service?

mrTickle · Jul 29, 2006

After my first service 'round the beginning of July, i noticed my bike ran smoother but didn't feel as fast. Before i had it serviced it ran a bit rough on a steady throttle between 3-4000 RPM but accelerated really quick when opening the throttle - very crisp and responsive. After the service it's much smoother but not as exciting ... even my other half noticed the difference. Anyone else had the same?

Has it had a software update ?

My 1200 is much smoother after updates, but has lost its grunt

Mine was different after the software upgrade(?). Found that it hunted a little on small throttle openings when cold but perhaps a bit smoother on/off the throttle at low rpm when warmed up. I also thought it ran better on the initial setup but it's been so long since that I probably can't remember too well.

Bloody computers spoil everything

How do you find out what version of the software you have?
I guess we can get the workshop to tell us?

Park Lane told me it took two hours to update via their computer :nenau

but I didn't take much notice as they said it was a routine remap for HP2's from BMW. I don't know the update revision that they loaded.

It may be because it's running smoother it doesn't feel as fast ... before the remap it used to remind me of my old KDX...put a proper smile on my face

Pull off one of the throttle bodies, there everyone is happy again, who needs a computer?

Should have gone to the Orange side!.

Seriously Geoff, you gotta try this thing.

OK I know i've never tried the hp2.

Praps we should do a back to back comparison!

having done the HP2 training day in Wales ( it's brilliant so if you've got an HP2 try n get yourself on it ), I tried 2 other HP2's out and they both ran the same as mine. I'm quite relieved to find mine isn't slow

...got me factory race pipe yesterday... but not fitted yet.

Thinking i should stick it on a dyno for a before and after comparison. It's a complete system so should hopefully give me some extra poke.

I can't wait to race ya....

Factory pipe

Gis a look mr tickle

I have encloded the Dyno run from my HP2 for your intrest

mrTickle · Sep 1, 2006

...i'm just waiting for my oxygen sensor chips and once fitted, i'll go and get it dyno'd

It'll have the full racing exhaust, K&N airfilter and oxygen sensor chips ( to make it run richer ). The exhaust made a huge difference - from the seat of my pants the power feels flatter and much more all 'round. I'm hoping for great things with the richer fuel mix.

It is a complete replacement system - you loose the cat and fit fatter header pipes as well as a different end can. It has made a huge difference to my bike
