The bike is fully capable of putting a careless/stupid rider in the hospital in a hurry, just as a fast sportyish liter class bike should be. The throttle grip is cabled to the primaries and without ECU controlled fun police nanny secondary butterflies, it is smooth and yet immediate and manic. The FZ1 has an Akra full exhaust and had its secondary butterflies removed with ECU mapping to match. Giving up a few HP on that bike's top end, but the ADV bike is not really about top end anyway. The Super T has a Yosh can on it and the uncorked 270 degree twin sounds wonderful, but still wears it's CAT, so I am not feeling bad about it's pollution levels. At Platinum Motorcycles we recommend every 6,000km or annually (whichever comes first) to ensure cost effective care. Flashing both bike's ECUs made a massive improvement, making their systems feel like an always perfectly dialed set of analog carbs - creamy, smooth and responsive. GENERAL SERVICE/ ANNUAL - The Honda 650 is due for a general service every 12,000km or annually. My '14 Super Tenere was annoying, my '06 FZ1 was so bad it was actually bordering on dangerous in this regard. My experience is with Yamahas, which suffer from on/off jerky throttle response. The older piggyback tuners did not have the blocked off "EPA" area on their tables. “I want to know what each individual cylinder is doing.” To do this, Pathak installs individual sensors at the header pipes, as far upstream as possible, and especially before the exhaust gasses reach any cross-over pipes. Unless you have a single-cylinder motorcycle, the sensor is located so far downstream that you’re getting an average reading from all the cylinders. While many aftermarket exhausts will have a bung to attach an O2 sensor and read the air/fuel mixture, the reading you’ll get from it is generally useless information. A quick peek at the air/fuel ratio throughout the rev range could also clue us in on spots to improve.Īs the saying goes, the devil is in the details, and it’s here that Pathak clues us in on a fallacy. Dips, flat spots, and irregularities generally point to areas of improvement. Peak power and torque are fun numbers to talk about, but Pathak is more curious about the entire curve. Especially, the first 100kms where it is critical to break-in correctly.Ĭan I go with (E), after bike was warmed up, I just rode it, the same way I ride it now and much like how I like to behave in bed, treat with respect, but have some fun, but don't trash it, because if you break it, once broken they are hard to get back to nromal again.Upon receiving a new bike, the first step Pathak takes is to put it on the dyno to get a baseline run. Once the engine was warmed up, I regularly revved out to 4,000rpm and beyond. (D) I believe in hard breaking in process. (C) I followed Indian Owners Manual in parts but once the engine was warm, I mostly rode it the way I normally ride (with spirit but not redlining at the every set of lights or anything like that). (B) I tried to follow Indian Owners Manual in most cases but, now and then, I opened it up a bit but nothing crazy. Just out of interest, how did you break-in your engine? (A) Followed Indian Owners Manual to the letter. V-Twin wrote: Either way, if you can spin a warm tyre with only 2,000kms off the lights without Stage 2, you got a great engine.
