Makes sense. Some of what I thought. I ain't gonna push it that far anyway. The FJR is a beast, but everything can be tweaked. My thought was that some air flow enhancement via high flow air filter and exhaust mods (with consequent EFI adjustment) might add a bit. I was just curious what folks had tried, found that worked, and would reccomend. I'd also like to see and/or hear mods (like exhausts).
I like the way you think, but folks are talking about spending 900 on a GPS! A GPS is cool, buy hey, more power, great sound - - pipes might be alright too (I'm reading the thread on GPS's as well - - might as well go all the way).
Absolutely no need to do that; the stock filter provides all the air a stock engine needs. Just for comparison, the Hayabusa has about 1/2 the filter area, revs to 11K, and makes 175hp. This bike has the biggest filter I've seen, and nothing filters like a stock filter, so why people put filters that allow more dirt into their engines thinking performance will increase is beyond me.
'Lemme see, at ~$20 a piece (all puns intended), minus a couple of six packs of good Oregon beer, that works out to about 64 hookers. Wow, that's one hell of a night on the town! :yahoo:
I think you've made some assumptions there Hoss. I don't think Bounce is talking about some chunk of foam he stole from his college futon and takes to the racetrack on a Saturday night in his Pinto Mini-Stock. He's *probably* talking about something like a K&N filter. K&N flow rates are higher than stock with equivalent or superior filtration.
The heck with air filters and slip-ons. The power gains are minor. I want to hear about stroker motors and/or turbos or other *real* power gains. What does it take to get 150-160 rear wheel horsepower in an FJR or 190-200 for the fringe guys.
It's going to take you to do it.
