That's good info. Thank you.

Out of curiosity .... we plebs who don't have TFCs seem to be shut out of info re TFC models. As an owner, would you be able to investigate and find out what the valve sizes are?

For comparison, the cooking models are Inlet 37.9 mm (Part No. T.113 0765) and Exhaust 32.3 mm (P/No. T.111 0760.)

Also as a matter of interest, the outside diameter of the final exhaust outlet pipes is 32 mm. What are the TFCs?? Easily measured with a caliper..... that would be a good indication of the differences in the exhaust system.
Hey Ruzzle, did you see if the valve part numbers between the the three different bikes. If one has a titanium alloyed valves I suspect the valve part numbers and their prices would be different. I'm curious since most use copper beryllium seats with Titanium valves. So is the seats the same or are the heads different part numbers too. Then there is the lubrication needs which are different from the long lasting stainless valves. What about the cams they should be a different profile or atleast thats one of the benifits. Also because the titanium is softer then the long life stainless valves. The valve checks would be at different intervals. Just some food for thought.
 
Maybe this will help.
Print out of dyno for my TFC,
Cheers all,

no changes ? Just a baseline run with everything being factory set right?
 
I doubt the TFC is a much faster bike. The cosmetic differences is where the money is. For all the naysayers of the new bikes I’d say you should ride one before being negative about how the perform compared to the old generation bikes. The numbers just don’t tell the racing story mush less describe the handling improvements. I raced several modified gen 1 bikes out on the West Trip and never lost a race.

Yeah but them boots. Valentino Mel champion (ive only heard of 1 person that doesnt think much of the new rockets) I personally think they are state of the art and for sure next level ( too bad Claviger didnt make it to give you a good test:p)

Some of us don't need a reason to be naysayers.
