  1. I just did. The stock exhaust is 18.6 LBS and the Yoshimura is 12.6 LBS. Thaks for that. I’m waiting to hear back from 2WDynoworks as to whether there is a custom tune for this exhaust.
  2. Has anyone weighed this system or a stock system for comparison?
  3. I have the ECU flashed with the standard map. The engine, intake and exhaust are unmodified, though I do use the GYTR Air Filter. I'll try going lower with the settings the next time I'm under the tank.
  4. I am really surprised that you didn’t notice any difference. When I changed mine from 17 to 14 it was immediately noticeable, and then later dropping it from 14 to 12 had the same result, very much smoother on/off throttling. Do you have any other modifications to your bike?
  5. So, I finally got around to trying this free mod. Settings were as follows: Stock New Diag. 14 17 101 13 97 Diag. 15 16 100 12 96 Unfortunately, I can detect little or no difference in off to on throttle transitions. I have a 2015 with stock exhaust and the 2WD flash. I am glad that I tried it because it was easy and free. The hardest part is the bodywork, which isn't difficult. just adding my results to the data set. Thanks to those who shared the info on this.
  6. because they didn't recess the one side? I'm guessing the other side was flat too with no protrusion?Correct, there was no recess on the caliper side of the spacer. However, they have the protrusion for the fork leg side.
  7. I got my 12mm spacers from Sportbike Track Gear. However, I had to drill out one side in a drill press with a 9/16" drill bit. As stated in an earlier post, I opted for longer bolts that I happened to get through my favourite dealership. Triumph brake bolts PN T3330331 As far as other years, I am pretty sure 2015-2017 R1 rotors fit as well. After 9000 miles on my bike, one of the R1 rotors developed a wobble. They were from a 2005 R1 and had approximately 8000 miles on them when I got them. So, I splurged on a set of Braking SK2s. These are even better than stock R1 rotors, with more initial bite and feel. Braking SK2 WK071R/L. The pads I am using are also from Triumph. PN T2020475, only $82 for 2 sets. I've used Vesrah RJLs but prefer the Triumph pads.
  8. I installed the NGK CR9EIA-9 plugs at 8000 moles. I now have 22,600 miles and am having the valves adjusted this week. I will be relplacing the plugs with the same CR9EIA-9. I have the 2WDW flash and noticed no difference from the stock spark plugs. I have had no temperature related issues either. I also wanted a longer service interval.
  9. Does anyone know if the 2015-2017 R1 front brake rotors will fit the FJ-09 wheel? I know that 2004-2006 will fit.
  10. I used black RTV to fill the hole and the gap across the swing arm. The whole area stays much cleaner now.
  11. I found my fueling notes the other day. 4.815 US gallons from the tank run empty to gas filling all of the holes in the metal baffle. 0.675 US gallons is the reserve capacity after the last fuel bar starts to flash.
  12. The best way to know your useable tank volume is to run the bike until it stops then fill it to the same level that you usually do.
  13. 200 miles so far on the new slipper clutch. No reduction in engine braking. I takes really aggressive down shifting with a dump of the clutch to start the slipping action. By contrast, the factory slipper on the Daytona 675R is much easier to slip and thus lessens its engine braking considerably. The biggest benefits of this upgrade for me are the smoothed out gearbox and the refined clutch engagement. The pull is lighter as well.
  14. I have all the parts and I am about to install. I have about 100 miles on a friend's XSR and I noticed no less engine braking effect under my normal sporty riding conditions. However the shifting and clutch feel were much smoother. When I get a chance to ride mine I will report back my findings.
  15. Eastern Oregon is my favorite destination for cheese grater roads. I have so much fun out there that I don't mind the increased wear one bit.
