YEP how ya making out with your bike?

pootling about from A to B, but no fun yet, making too much boost so i've a custom pulley being fabricated right now, which ought to slow it down a bit. 1st world problems!

from my records a STOCK R3 with some sort of exhaust and the TTS kit does approx 215 -225hp depending on the exhaust. With some of my baby little F/A cams timed correctly and the bike retuned 280 is easily possible.NO other changes to the engine. From some of the questions /emails /etc I get from various folk across the globe ( I am a free advice line remember apparently) it is easy to overthink these things.... There are way more fu$k ups than good things.

Riding in fifth gear at 50mph and then just a twist of the wrist.
That is what a Rocket is about to some people.
You won´t get that stock power down there with a 240hp Rocket.
My experience is, that up to 180 or 190hp you can compensate low end loss with higher compression and better ignition timing.
But starting from a stop light in first gear you will always have more power than you need.

If you think greasing it from 50mph in 5th is fun - try dropping to 3rd and doing it!
A 240+ HP may just lift the front wheel doing that - I don't know for sure.

Just a throttle roll on in 2nd at 60 will fishtail the bike, it only lifts the front with a passenger on the rear.
