Recently purchased my first R1... it's a 2005... rode a YZF600R for 5yrs... then an '01 FZ1 for the last year...
First off this is a great forum, but you guys are a BAD influence... I have been searching extensively...
Performance wise the bike is stock + Yosh slip ons... although the bike has great power above 7k... I wanted a bit more midrange... and found a good deal on a set of Graves velocity stacks... wanted FP, but these kinda fell in my lap...
after installI rode to work 1hr ea way... interstate on the inbound trip & fun roads on the way home... I noticed a different (almost pulsating) sound in the mid-higher RPMS... I read that the intake sound would change... is this the sound they are referring to or ???
Definitely a little more mid range... but felt like it pulled harder at part throttle than at full throttle... it seemed to do this also before the stacks... but not as noticeable... wondering if this is a tune issue or maybe related to TPS or Exup valve???
I have ordered a PC5 & BMC race filter & have plans to gut the cat... more to alleviate temp under the seat than all out peformance!! Does anybody have a suggestion for a good base map... I will be getting the bike dyno tuned as time allows..
If I can get a set of Factory Performance velocity stacks for a good price... is it worth upgrading from the Graves???
