Do I still need a tune from HansO?

Sound like good figures so far, keep us posted.

I'm impressed with the pipes I got from Dave Platt, is that a random play with words or do you know something I don't?

Nothing random, see a thread I started previously... 'Dave Platt Short Custom Pipes' Have a little read and make up your own mind.
 
Glad I could help. I was fortunate to find them really.
Once this colder weather has gone, I really must put the kit on the bike and make an appointment with them.
I’ll post my findings also.

Cold weather? Rode the bike up there last week..was right blast up the motorway, 100mph all the way! Took about 45mins in front of the heater in the office to thaw out though!! Pipes take about 1.5hrs to install and about the same for the RamAir
 
@Grumpy Ole Codger
I was spoilt with living in hotter climes than these shores, in my younger days.
So anything under 15c is considered freezing in my book.
On the ride to my last service the temperature was 7c and I was frozen solid within 5 minutes! 45 minutes later I had to be chipped off the bike, and I had some good kit on too.
 
@Grumpy Ole Codger Well, I finally fitted the Ramair and David Platt Outlaw pipes today. More accurately I helped someone else do it. A bit of cursing got it all done in 3 hours as we took it easy.
The sound on startup is phenomenal!
I’m calling Dynotech Tuesday to book it in for a proper tune. Can’t wait.
Once it’s done I’ll post a video.
The sound is louder than I expected, but that could be the confined space of the garage. It really suits the nature of the beast though. I let it tune itself and it seemed to smooth out quite quickly.
 
@ABC123 - glad you managed to find the time to fit the Ramair and the pipes. You'll love the results once Dyno Tech have had her for a day or two! The results when they had finished on mine were a completely different bike, 100% improvement, so much nicer all round. They will do a before and after graphs which is the icing on the cake
As for the sound, between 3 and 4k rpm... truly addictive and just makes that smile soooo much bigger
 

Hanso's tune was a huge butt-dyno improvement.
I wished the most I could get, so I hunted down Nels (Guru Tuner in WA State).
You shall definitely see changes!
My changes were quite a bit, especially in the fuel ratio area.
Twas back in 2012 and many dyno tunes ago, but if I remember right, I gained around 12 RWHP and 5 mpg.
IMHO - ALWAYS go with a dyno-tune IF from a proper skilled tuner familiar with Tune ECU if possible!!!

Yep - heard of them. Sent an email yesterday requesting price for fitting PCV and tuning + sticking her on the Dyno to thrash the crap out of it etc...no reply yet so a little telephone call tomorrow morning!

Save your money!
If your motor is stock, you will eliminate the need for PCV+AT.
 
@1olbull
I have been and had the full treatment plus new clutch, new headstock bearings etc at Dyno Tech hence the comments to ABC123. I did post dyno charts previously but here again below:
