General tuning

G33k talk!

Back to the tuning thing. I had put my snorkel back in my bike for my final service before my warrently ran out to keep the place happy (just incase it voided the warranty).

Anyhow ive just taken it back out and man it seems to go better! It feeling like the dip in midrange power has inverted itself. I really do need to get it on a dyno and see how it is. Will a normal dyno run also tell you how good the fueling (rich/lean etc?)

Yes if they know what they're doing, an accurate dyno (inertial type) can show you what the mixtures like, drop offs can show lean, where the bhp curve is jagged its rich.
Somebody with decent experience can interpret a lot of info from one printout.

Has anyone on here used RTT motorcycles at Hoyland common in Barnsley? (just off of J36 if M1)

I've just been on a bit of a weight saving exercise. Removed pillion pegs. Replaced front fairing/headlights with enduro light unit (don't need to ride at dark, and when I do I'll use a bespoke rally set up) replaced rear body work with race unit, replaced footpegs with alloy race items, replaced whole exhaust system, no mirrors/indicators. Currently under 160 kgs. Going to change the entire front end for a GSXR K4 but it hasn't arrived yet so not sure if heavier/lighter. Beauty of all of this is it is all reversible (nothing chopped off....yet) Want to lose the tank which is about another 5kg but the air box is currently being a bitch.
