Pokey Posted October 20, 2012 Report Share Posted October 20, 2012 Is all the work involved really worth it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jester3681 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 Enlighten me - what is involved and what are the (perceived?) benefits? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 The one and only benefit would be it would make it a little bit easier for DTM to tune it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jester3681 Posted October 21, 2012 Report Share Posted October 21, 2012 I can't imagine tuning a VTX would be a logical endeavor anyways... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Helmutt Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 This mod helps cut down on about 95% of the decel popping the bike exhibits when stock. It will help stop the "blatty" sound you hear when you first start the bike when it’s cold, and it will make the exhaust note a little deeper. It will not have ANY adverse affect on the performance of the bike, although some boast a pony or 2 gain; and doing it requires no additional "mapping" changes. Some may argue that removing the smog system from the bike may aid exhaust scavenging when using a 2-into-1 or a 2-into-2 exhaust with a crossover. While this is likely true (the smog system would tend to cancel out scavenging effects) the results would be very minimal and not worth mentioning. So, all in all its not a performance mod in any respect so much as an "owner appreciation" mod to enhance the riding experience and some performance of other related modifications/tunes. By the looks of it, should be a couple hours to complete on average......pending your mechanical apptitude of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gixxus Christ! Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 I thought removing air injection stopped the popping with aftermarket pipes, at least that's what it does for the pair-equipped tl1000's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MidgetTodd Posted October 31, 2012 Report Share Posted October 31, 2012 A proper tune will do the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
