Hi Fixitsan
I saw your post on You tube regarding the TDM re-flash from Samios, i have emailed them and they say they can re-flash the 2011 module ( non ABS) part number 2BO-8591A-10, they cant do ABS type modules apparently though
I dont want any more top end, i use the bike for riding around Europe mostly, and a bit around the UK, i didnt want it loud or unpleasant to ride just smoother at part throttle and with the same smooth road mannners as now
As a test i bought a set of tatty stock 2007 mufflers and carefully opened them up, cut out the CAT, and then re-welded them back together, we dynoed the mod before and after and it picked up just under 1.3 HP all across the rev range ( without any additional fuel) so the engine was running far less than ideal 0.96-0.97 Lambda, but more importantly, the response was nearly a second better from 3000-8000rpm, it made the exhaust just a tiny bit louder, but so small its just not noticable, we then put an 8mm spike up the end of the pipe to see what that would do, it makes it again a tiny bit louder and added another 1.4 hp most of which is 6000rpm +
This is very similar to what Samios have tested with aftermarket mufflers with DB killers installed, as a complete bounus Samios also have a FUCHS dyno, so the results are semi comparable
I removed the airbox flap, but as expected it didnt do anything at all, a friend has a FUCHS BE261 dyno, so we check everything before and after, at full and part throttle, its very interesting sometimes
i have also two long bellmouths for inside the air box ( in place of the one long and one short) and have an insulated the airbox with some 6mm thick insualtion mat used for furnaces, all this can go on in October when i put the bike way for winter
The million dollar question however, is ....... did the fuel economy take a dive at all after the re-flash ? ....i can get 60-63 mpg tootling around little French D roads, its jsuch a bonus sometimes knowing that you can squeeze 250 miles to tank.
i assume they run the engine without a Lambda sensor ( open loop) and also disable the AIS ( which i am going to use for the breather system) ?
many thanks for your reply, its good finding someone who has actaully had the work done
