After 2 years with all the airbox and Tuner etc mods on my TE and SMS, I recently raided the piggy bank and fitted the Twin Arrows kit to the SMS. The results were so good that I dropped the same kit on the TE with equally impressive results. The Arrows ECU allowed me to explore more fuelling options with the JD Tuner. An Iridium plug on top of the Arrows allowed me to add even more fuel. Expensive ?, damn right, but the end result was awesome, bikes with serious cahoonas
Search some of the suppliers of springs (race tech for example) and determine if your suspension is set up properly for your weight and riding style. Typically the rear preload is way to stiff for someone 175 lbs. That would require loosening the tension on the rear spring so you get appropriate sag numbers. This also allows the bike to sqaut easier when you wack the throttle and lift the front end in the air. If the front forks are raised excessively in the triple clamps this will also impact how easy the front end comes up. How many lines on the forks are showing above the triple clamp?
I hear so much about the jd tuner whats the difference between that and the power commander because that's what I got on my bike
The JD is cheap and simple, and a snap to install. The Power Commander may edge it out a bit once you drop the extra money for the autotune.
i bought the powercomander it was like 380 because the dealer told me it would help is it adjustable or do i need the auto tune? its ben on my bike for a year and the only difference ive found is it doesn't stall are they just not remaping
well I admit when im wrong and I gotta say it was all rider I had a really bad crash on my 250 and tore my meniscus I finally caught myself not committing and leaning forward. I can finally hang her up its made my riding much more fun. with mods she powers up in 3rd and clutch up in 4th and hangs god I love my 630
hey I have not ben around but better late then never its really not worth the money I spent 325 but it does make a great amount of difference in the bottom little less up top tho. if I could find it used it would be well worth it had I had to do it again, but with the gearing airbox pc powerup ecu its a whole new animal I got laid off so I cant splurge like I used to or I would have the leo by now but I really don't think its that needed, im happy
no but its part of the fun factor and riding a long wheelie is a hell of a lot of fun and it takes skill
and even more skill if you can wheelie in 2nd and go through the gears as you accelerate while riding on the back
I can do that all day long until I run out of gears or road, but I'm too much of a scaredy cat to ride at balance point for very long...
Ah .... but can you take round a sharp corner at the speed of a butcher´s dog and do all the rest of the things only a good moto can do?
Ah ... but can you wheelie on your front wheel as easily as your back? (I can't even wheelie, but damn, this chap is good View: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R04GZSKm5lY
yea I can corner and yea I can wheelie all six gears all I was trying to say is it took time more then I thought it would to adjust riding styles to the 630
Longer swingarm on the 630 makes wheelies a bit higher and a bit harder to hold Other than that, having ridden a DRZ, the 630 feels more stable when you're in deep, but it takes good tires and having the suspension set up properly.
