New member looking for tuning advice.


Thanks Tribal
It’s just the one K&N under the seat. Changed it when doing the service. My VIN is later.
Does the android version of Tune ECU have more maps available?
 
Where are you based in the UK - had mine tuned on a Dyno at TTS Performance at silverstone. They use TuneECU without needing anything else
I’m in South Cumbria Coppa
 
Thanks Kojack. Very helpful. I don’t have Ramair, just an under seat K&N but I think I’ll give the Hanso a go.
 
That should work. Maybe a little rich as it’s expecting more air. Ram air or K&Ns are needed to get the full power out of it.


I agree that it might be rich. I

I think you are right, that would be running rich. I read his post that he had K&N filters, assuming Pods, not the K&N under the seat. Not to be a jerk, but I think the general consensus by this group is that the K&N under the seat is essentially worthless because the restriction problem is with all the plastic intake duct work vs. the filter.

The under-seat offers little to no benefit. The major flow restrictions are the under-seat snorkels that feed the airbox and the inner plenum to outer plenum connectors.
 
Hi and welcome Jimbo,, try giving Carl at Just Rockets a call.He really knows all about the rocket and tuning the beast.. https://justrockets.co.uk/
 
Not a jerk when giving an honest answer.!

1. I did the underseat K&N - it did diddly squat
2. Took the filter cover off and Popped the rivets on the plastic seat breather - diddly squat again, but maybe dropped 2lbs
3. Went to the under tank K&N - more diddly squat (probably worse as its sucking in hot air off the engine, blocked by wires and frame on each side and no air where the tank hits).
4. Went to the smaller RU-2780's under bear claw, Jardines, PC, $400 Dyno tune. 124HP to 149HP. Yippie!
5. Cut the bear claw around the filters and put a hole in the front - Maybe a tiny bit better but not noticable.
6. Removed the cut up bear claw and I think it looks meaner without it.
7. Upgraded to the taller K&N RC-3680. Much prettier with the chrome tops but even louder though. A
I assume they pull in more air but I would need to remap on a Dyno and am too cheap to pay for that as it runs just fine for me.
