Looking for Advice on Power-up

I ride with PU kit and stock pipes on my 630 for 2 or 3 months. No problems at all.

I rode over 4000 miles that way without any problems.

Just got my TE630. How long should I wait before the PU?

you should not wait at all.

well if you are wondering if this is a good move.... do it!!

bike is heaps better. i cannot believe how restricted the stock pipe was! couldnt find any exhust shop open today so pretty much just gutted the pipe. thought it was going to be really loud but is not too bad. bike is idling higher now but i will adjust that tomorrow (if i can find out how).

total cost for the day, $5.40!!

could anyone tell me where the idle screw is on the 2009 model? the manual i have shows it a bit different than my bike (i think it is for a 2008).

thanks

Try looking behind the air box where the rear brake reservoir is, it's a bit hard to get too but it's doable...

I recommend an 8mm open end wrench. Piece of cake.

cheers. found it and adjusted in down. i dont think husky could put it in a more difficult spot if they tried!

I know it! I miss being able to turn a thumbscrew with my fingers while sitting at a stoplight on my ZX-10R.

so, am i likely to get ant more improvements with a leovince pipe over the gutted stock one? thinking maybe i should use my pipe funds to buy a damper.

I don't see the need for a steering damper. Any headshake I've had has been due to poor rider input (mainly being to heavy-handed on the bars) and poor suspension setup.

Other than massive weight savings, the performance gains I've seen for a pipe have been pretty minimal. I did mine for the weight savings alone. I wasn't concerned about sound or performance.

I just installed the leo vince full system. I haven't richened the fueling up yet, but now it sounds like a proper dirt bike. As for performance, it is definitely faster! The best way to describe it is that the revs raise a lot faster ie you are going faster sooner. My bike does pop on deceleration so you will probably have richen up your fueling as well although the leo vince rep said I don't HAVE to.

You also lose 15 lbs.

You can get the Leo slip-on for about $300
Gutting your own will be at the most maybe $60?
Is the Leo 5 times better then the DIY?
$240 morebetter?

Some people have the money, and their time is way too valuable then to be fooking around with DIY projects and that's fantastic
You have the time?
You think you'll be better spending that cash somewhere else?
Go for it

Sometimes the decel pop is just exhaust leaks. Might no be able to make them go away completely.

I did the power-up kit first on my '09 and kept the stock muffler for 6 months. I noticed the power up kit helped the midrange and top end a little. It was a noticeable improvement but I could tell that the power was still flattening out too soon.

Now with the Leo Vince Enduro muffler, the bike pulls hard all the way from bottom to top. The top end is fantastic. Huge improvement! With the screen insert and enduro baffle, the Leo is quieter than the stock muffler and has a much more pleasant tone. Runs better and is quieter - never had that happen with an exhaust mod before. I'm really impressed with Leo Vince.

Full single system or twin slip-ons?

Single. I have the TE610.

I was dissapointed in the mileage change at first until I realized the problem was more in my right wrist. The bike is so much more fun to rev out, I was doing it all the time, resulting in 40 mpg. Last weekend we slowed down and kept our cruise to 55 and below. 52 mpg, and that even included some deep sand and gravel. So I believe it's possible to get 55 mpg even with the power up and Leo if you try.

I get 40 mpg with the power up. Don't know yet if the Leo will decrease my mpg but yeah that's 40 mpg and I like to twist the throttle

.50 cents at the local electronics shop and a little of my free time and the bike now now runs great! Thanks to all the previous posters!
