I have fitted the pc111 from my 07. Spoke to dynojet and they are the same but there are no o2 eliminators available yet. Not sure which crescent it was i rang them today and they can do runs on a saturday but the dyno man is away now untill the 19th july. i think it was in Dorset thats why i chose them ( i did try JHS first but they can only do it on a weekday.

Well took it in to ACE motorcycles in bude today for the run in.
It was the first time the bike had been started so i let it get up to temp then shut it off and let it cool back to -- on the clock. Did this a couple of times and then strapped in on the dyno Kenny let me ride the bike to save a couple quid by not using his time (sat morns are hectic for him)
 Spent what seemed like an hour just going up and down the revs in 4th gear. It felt like i had been on it for ages but a glance the speedo showed 27 miles  :-(  The mechanics looked a bit pissed at the noise the full Akrapovic system was making so i shut it down and let the fans on the dyno cool it back to -- on the clocks again.

I was like a kid wanting to know what the 08 would pushout and even though kenny said i was welcome to do the full power run i waited for him as the computer is set up for the guy sat on the bike to use.

I really did not know what to expect as the pc111 was loaded with the custom map from my 07 !!  And as kenny warmed it up i was begining to wonder if all this hassle was going to be worth it.
Any way with the bike warm kenny went for it..... 5th gear hooked he pinned it to the stop it sounded awesome as it climbed the revs, then at 9 grand it just had a fit, It spat and coughed and spluttered like it was running on carbs with the choke on  :shock: It eventually cleared it's throat and reved out making 169.6.

My initial thought was the pc111 was well out for this bike but kenny was not so sure. The Air fuel was good and the power curve (other than the flat line at 9 grand) was still healthy. So under kenny's advice we went for it again without changing anything.

This time it sailed round to the 12750 rpm redline and sounded awesome. Peak power was an impressive 172bhp with torque coming in at 79. something. 

This is the most powerfull production bike kenny has done on the dyno  :headbang: The most powerfull being a tuned gsxr 1000 k4 lump that had been tuned for a sidecar outfit.

He advised me not to do the custom map for now untill the bike is properly ran in but expects to see around the 175bhp mark when it's all finished.   



Here is a few pics of the bike outside. It's in for paint on tuesday and i still can't decide the  colour  :dontknow:

Magic i was offered a good deal from Irelands to change my bike so i bit the bullet and went for it   :icon_thumleft:

As for race bike i hope so but the money i have just spent has kinda fooked that up at the mo. Will hopefully get a round or 2 of motogrande in before the end of the year if my 07 sells.

And as for posh considering the amount of ex BSB and superstock bikes kicking around mine is almost standard mate  :-(
