Just got the bike custom mapped....

I bought my bike a few months ago and it was fitted with a complete akropovic, K&N air filter and a Power commander III with a downloaded map.

It was running good but i heard several times that a custom map will help alot and many say that if you spend the money on a PC without doing a custom map then you should rather spend the money on something else...

So with that in mind i decided to give it a go.

He mapped it for 10%, 20% ect all the way to 100% for each 250 RPM's and it took about 3 hours and cost around 520$ :icon_teeth:

Overall it did not do very much. It added less than 1 HP but it runs sooo much smoother now and it gained alot at the lower RPM's.

Im really happy with the outcome and even though there is not much of a different to see on the dyno print it feels like a completely different bike.

$520 you must be joking. Did he atleast use any lube?

hehe, I've contacted several shops and they were were demanding more or less the same amount.

Considering the bike cost me around 12500$ to purchase (which is actually a bargain here) i don't think its alot.

Thats how it is to live in Denmark :icon_nic:

wow, dyno tune around here is 150, for a 2, 5, 10, 20, 30 etc... the 2-5-10 is the crucial dd area anyways, because it is where you are when u cruise lol. but your results are about the same as mine were, smoother. no real gain at all in power but the smoothness = more power as the rpms climb. less low spots, and a healthier engine. of course, i've read if you tune it a bit leaner you get more power but risk of detonation increases.

Jesus christ everything cost WAY too much money over there! At least your happy with the outcome :)

Wow

12,500 Danish = 2,400 USD. Not everything is in USD, kids. :)

Dyno tuning really does a lot for the overall performance, even if it doesn't pick up a ton of horsepower. Happy riding!

Did actually pay 65000 Danish kroner which equals around 12500 dollars :icon_shrug:

Sometimes i wish i lived in the US in the areas where the weather is allways good and i could ride a new cbr1000rr for the same price as my old f4i cost

Oh I see. Bummer! At least it sounds like you're happy. :)
