We use the Teka tuner as it's the best for Suzukis and remaps the original controller. TRE and air filter go without saying. You'd normally expect 15hp over stock.
    What air filter is it gonna use? and what tre, home made jobby or real one?

For example, we can have a Gixxer thou, wailing in fourth gear and load the Dyno right up and stall the bike! It's an impressive tuning tool and to my knowledge, the only one in NZ although they're designed and built in Petone. They all get exported to Nascar in the states and Touring car teams around the world.

    To date the machine owes us well in excess of 150 grand.
    I think I know the crowd who makes them.

    I have had to deal with the 'odd' noise complaint about them (good bunch of guys actually). I have also had a noise complaint about a motorcycle shop in the Hutt (another good bunch).

    K&N, and home made. Worked real well on the old bike, shouldn't be too different here.

    let me know if you here of any good simple ways of getting more power out of it, would love to know.

    that's got nothing to do with the timing, that's all gearing baby.

    Go 1 tooth smaller on the front sprocket and hang on! They over gear them to get through emission testing.

    If you go for a filter and pipe, you'll need to get it retuned. Either power Commander or Teka. PC is a bit expensive if you ask me.

    How does that work then? Does the engine burn differently when the load is changed but the fuel and air input are the same?

    I suppose I just answered my own question.

    Be nice if you could elucidate on the specifics though

    Nah. It as to pass a ride by test. higher gearing means less revs at ride by speed. Simple.

    We can only tune the TEKA properly. We can do the PC but the gains aren't as good. PM Jimbo750 and ask how his Teka tune went for a perfectly un biased view on the whole thing.

    The beauty of this way of tuning, is you don't have the outlay for the tuner, it re-maps your existing bits. We normally need the bike for a full day of tuning.

    Johanns new bike has already gained 6hp just with the tune, not including the other bits. Stay tuned and I'll let you know the final amount.

    You should time it with a Manfield Day, that way you could play afterwards.
