PC5 + Autotune + cool mufflers happening soon, will keep you posted.

Well I was all on a path to leave my much loved TR650 stock motor and exhaust wise as it runs hard, is quiet and gets great mileage. Then Bill posts the single muffler and he sound mad me cry with joy. Then I realize I have two gorgeous and free flowing KTM 950/990 mufflers sitting right here.



Realizing that if i just slap these on my bike is going to be lean and not run as good as stock.

Flash forward to today, Guy at DynoJet has a TR650 and wants one of my skid plates. We had a very nice conversation and exchanged a lot of info. Was very impressed with their attitude and product info. Much like dealing with Kevin from Lectron. Down to earth, very interesting and tons of useful info. So we got into horse trading mode. In the end it looks like a Powercommander and Autotune will soon grace my TR650 as will the pipes. I am thinking I am going to end up with a sweet sounding wheelie monster in place of my stealth fighter stock bike.

Let the fun begin, again.

Will report as usual.

BTW I have the dyno charts for the TR650 with and without the PC stuff. About a 3-4 HP difference across the range with just the PC on a stock bike. With mufflers I expect about 5-8 HP more. Then the airbox might need attention. I am asking if OK to post those and will do if OK.

Barrett.

Yes i think so, should get massive flow and I love how they (barrett) sound on my TE511 and I have the match pair sitting right here. Like the twin exhaust sound.

Here is some real info. Dynos for a completely stock TR650 with and without PC5.

at 40% throttle...



at 60%



at 80%



WFO



52 at the rear wheel is very good IMHO as this is a torque motor.

Also interesting...

KTM 690 -v- Tr650...



KLR650 -v- TR650



TR650 -v- GS650 BMW TR has (10hp more as advertised.)

Kelly, any chance of you editing your post to state what the red & blue is for each graph? I realize that at least 1 graph states explicitly what one of the bikes are, and I can make an educated guess as to what the other red/blue lines are... but for ease of reading saying which is which would be terrific.

Hmm...cant see the graphs, but I can open in another tab.

Yes had a really long and informational conversation with the PV of Dynojet, very nice guy, lots of good info. Yes two position on the fly switch from power to MPG or whatever you like. Very nice complete and way programmable setup.

thats all the info I got. Via our conversation the TR is the one with the most power except the KTM 690 I believe.

Check the Bills Motorcycles Plus section.

Thanks for the follow up!

It seems quite interesting to me that below 4,000 rpms the TR650 appears to put out significantly more than the KTM690... which is where most of my riding occurs.

yes, as you know the TR has a lot of torque
