R3R PCV or Tuneboy?!!?

[evomind]

lemme ask...
im not really interested so much in top speed, so if i tuned with a pc5, will i still have all the acceleration just not the top speed?
raising the rev limiter is a plus, whats the longevity of that?

as long as you do not go to high you won't kick a shim out of the bucket. If you want more then 7000 safely you need a high speed valve train like Carpenter Racing sells with their kits. A few of us have gone higher but it is a risk if a shim kicks out you will have catastrophic failure. the motor won't like a quarter flying around in it plus if it does not come all the way out you could push a valve into the piston which is not good. The only real flaw with the engine if you stay below 7k is the tensioners fail and that can be very bad as you will loose the valve sync. with the crank and break ****.

Since not too many have been able to get a PCV let alone had a chance to play/tune with one, I hesitate to comment on whether it will unleash the 7% power reduction built into the R3. But I would assume that it does no more than a PCIII, and only allows for changes to the injector timing/duration. It probably will not change things like speed limiters and secondary throttle plate position.
If my assumption is correct, you will still need a GiPro and remove the secondary throttle plates to get all the available power in the first three gears. Since the Roadster already has a gear position indicator, it may not be in ones best interest to install a GiPro or remove the plates. Personally I would still do it that way just for the ease of tuning the bike since not many shops deal with TuneBoy or TuneECM. But I'm told that you can do all that with Tuneboy or TuneECM if you have the know how to make tuning adjustments yourself. It's a path you have to choose and stick with, I like the Power Commander just because it was very simple to tune my PCIII, GiPro, Triples and TOR's. I'm more than happy with the overall results.

The best thing about PCV is you can make fuel changes in every gear and store it. Plus it has the ability to have two maps if you buy the switch gear. Other then that Hellfire is right not many out there can realy tune the bike just intercept fuel signals which will negat the fuel ratios (where you make the changes) programed in the ECU. All in all the best is to have both and find a tuner that is willing to learn or already knows Tune Boy. The other plus is it overrides the programed pulse width programed in the ECU which won't matter if your not trying to build Horse Power

this is probably the route ill take for now. ill be running tors, crossover, triples, gipro, and remove the secondaries tuned with a pc5 as it should be available.
i think this will be a nice combo and wake the bike up a bit.

Go ahead and install the GiPro and remove the secondaries if you want to wait a bit on the Exhaust, filters and the PCV. Those two mods do not require any changes to the fuel/air mix and will surprise the **** out of you by simply taking control of the TB's from the computer and eliminating the 7% lower gear power reduction. Everyone who tries the GiPro on a stock bike says it's the most bang for the buck there is. And I agree.

They use a Dynojet Dyno. I PM'ed you about brakes. I'd love to go to six piston. My front brakes always feel soft. I'm used to bramble on my Duc

 

[Zofunny]

Bramble? What the hell are brambles? I meant Brembos on my Duc. **** auto typing

 

[albertaduke]

re brakes

I am drooling over the next to best if not best but sooo expensive set of rotors and calipers with reservoir offered by beringer

 

[Trirocket3]

Pretech 6 pots (used by quite a few at .com site) every bit as good as Beringer (IMO)
but I get them much cheaper.
