Now take one standard Suzuki Bandit 1250, add Yoshimura camshafts and muffler, along with some airbox trimming and Power Commander fettling by master tuner Phil Tainton, and the result equals major grunt!
The standard bike is good for 103hp @ 8500rpm and 82Nm of torque at 6000rpm. A few hours at Phil Tainton’s PTR workshop and $2500 later sees the Bandit emerge with a more responsive and eager 136hp @ 8000rpm and 103Nm of torque at 7500rpm. An impressive 30 per cent improvement and the engine is much snappier in response to the throttle but remains easily tamed and never threatening.
I so want!!!! I have a freeflow pipe (Leo Vince SBK) on my 1250 but the Power Commander and Yoshi camshafts may have to be seriously looked at, closely followed by some serious suspension work.
Damn. I may have to sell the RF900R at this rate... :blink:
