Hey guys,
So my RC had it's first service done. I had already fitted an Arrow exhaust and asked my dealer to fit the K&N filter and add a better mapping. When buying the bike they told me they even had a rolling road(dyno) so could provide tuning of the bike as well. When I asked him if he already had access to things like ignition timing etc(I only use 98 octane fuel) he looked at me funny and said, yeah I guess...
I picked up the bike today and the guy behind the counter said he thought they mapped the bike, or at least assumed they did when I asked him.
"I can't know for sure but they normally do"- is what he said. "The mechanics have already gone home so I don't know."
My RC feels all wrong and slower then before, especially up top between 8 and 10k rpm. It just struggles to get through those couple thousand revs, and the engine feels really viby and unhappy...
I'll take my bike elsewhere next time...
Anyone have any idea's on what to have it tuned with? I think if it were mapped with the ktm "race" mapping for the cat-less akra exhaust it should feel relatively good with the arrow as well!
I would rather have the ecu remapped than using a "piggy back" solution.
