New bike mods

[Adcooper]

Hi everyone I'm hoping for some advice and thoughts due to your experiences.


My S1000RR is in for its first service next week, I already have a full Akrapovic ti system with long carbon can and a PC5 in the garage awaiting fitment. I have read a lot of the threads regarding ECU remaps at Hilltop and alike and PC5 maps with both pros and cons.


Just thinking with the bike only four weeks old and well within the warranty would it be best to go down the PC5 route so it can be returned to standard if needed?


For those of you that have a PC5 I have been told that the HM quickshifter plugs straight into the PC loom is this correct?


Last is with so little mileage would you fit the exhaust and PC with a base map, then when the bike has done 1000 - 1500 miles then have a custom remap?


Thanks for any replies in advance

Anyone got a PC5 map for a 2013 model with a full evo Akrapovic system?

Take it to a Dino if you are keeping the Pcv
Generic maps isn't the way to go....
I also wouldn't remap a new bike , unless it could be easily returned

 

[Adcooper]

Yes going to keep the PCV so I can take it off for any warranty issues ;-). Want the exhaust on but was just going to put a base map on for a 1000 miles or so to help let the bike free up a bit before getting a custom map, not a good idea?

I'm thinking of selling my PCV and going for a remap.

I like the idea of the remap however with the build quality issues and being a month old I may need to return to standard ;-)

I had a remap and when i took it for a service they did not say anything, I dont think they knew as everything showed as normal other than an exhaust servo that was disconnected.

I have a third option arriving with me next week.

Bren?

Bren?

Indeed! Going to try and get a before and after dyno both with a full exhaust.

 

[Godzilla]

I will be watching with interest.

?? What's that?

 

[Adcooper]

Would you run a full system without a PC for a 1000 mile?

Full details hopefully next week depending on when I can get some dyno time in.

I have been running my bike with a full system without a PCV for about 200 miles so far will not major issues. I am sure it is not running as efficiently as it could be but that will be fixed shortly .

Running mine with full Akro no PC5 runs sweet as a nut on track aswell all ok

 

[Adcooper]

John looking forwards to the update!

Rich how long you ran it like that for?

About 500 miles fuel consumption ok no concerns goes well not really arsed about spending £400 on a few hp not gonna feel it. Just run super unleaded all good.

Super won't make a blind bit of difference if it's lean. That'll just help if the timing is too advanced.

If I were you, I'd just have a power run on a dyno to measure it's not running too lean. Just to be on the safe side. Can make an awful mess of an expensive engine and you might not be noticing any effects yet...

Edit - okay, first comment not strictly 100% true - if it's pinking by just a little cos the mixture's leaned off, then super might bring it back to a safe level. Doesn't change the fact that it might be running too lean without you knowing it - a quick run up on a dyno will be a lot cheaper than potentially dropping exhaust valves if they're overheating...

Hmm, good advice me thinks....
