work's on my 06 modelDoes anyone know if this option is available on uk spec gen 2 models
Hasn't made much difference to my petrol consumption still getting about 80miles of hard riding on a full tank before the reserve light starts to flash. Maybe it's a good chance for you to be the labrat!Anyone confirmed actually whether this works on the US models? It is a good option to gain some mpgs too.
I just thought when going to a 1L bike - getting use to the power on 100hp for a while then switch to 150hp when comfortable on the new bike. But then again, those tigers get loose on high revs, so just stay away from it - all in the wrist...just thinking...
My US bike was set to 100 HP from the dealer! (steady amber light) I'd mentioned to the dealer the engine felt like it bogged down from 3K to 4.5K RPM and it just didn't feel as fast as it should be for a bike w/ 130 WHP. Another issue that irked me was my poor MPG. MPG for me has been btw 32-34 mpg.
Today I followed the steps in the video-left amber engine light blinking for150 HP - turned ignition off. On the next ride I immediately noticed the hesitation btw 3-4.5 RPM was gone. The bike definitely felt quicker through out the RPM range. And, an unexpected bonus. Instead of getting worse MPG (more powerful engine) , it improved significantly!
Prior to changing to 150 HP, I filled tank and noted 32.5 mpg. After switch, I got 38.5 mpg! (Those were back road miles, not highway.)
Wonder why the bike comes set @ 100 hp in the states? I understand some European countries license small displacement bikes differently than large displacement bikes, so the HP conversion is a clever idea; if one wants to grow into their bike rather than buy a new one.
Not so in the States. At any rate, much happier with zippier, better mpg machine.:woot:arty0011::beer::america::tup: :sport12:
