New exhaust

[scott5]

like special ops or drummer that is a modified stock exhaust.

if I go loud-ass Jardine or D&D, they tell me that flows too much air for stock tune, too.

Jardine is not as loud as you think, my buddy has it on his xb12r up in NY and it sounds ok, but he loves it, but he also has it tuned and filter ( i will probably have his dad tune mine as well). The D&D is just stupid loud and you lose ALOT of bottom end where the 12s are known for ,and the 9s are known for have alot of upper RPM power, so the bike wont have as much "pop" at the flip of the throttle. The one guy i talked to alot on here about buells had one and he switched it out for a drummer.. And you might want to re check your prices on these pipes. Last time i checked the drummer was pretty pricey(depending on which model you want) And with the JArdine and D&D you have to fab up some brackets for them to mount to cause the stock ones will not work anymore.. Another good exhaust that you can usually find is a Buell race exhaust on ebay(dont make them anymore), Travis on here has one on his xb12scg(bad ass bike!!!) and it sounds awesome all through the rpms, not as loud as mine at idle but mine gets raspy at high rpms where his stays a low/loud rumble like a harley.

Putting just a pipe on these bikes puts them to the edge of the stock tune already and same if you just do a filter.. These bikes are VERY and i mean VERY smart. They actually learn how you ride the bike and change the TPS to suit the way you ride. When you get your bikes first tune-up done at Highland they will tell you the same thing and ask them to re set it back to 0. When you get back on it, it will be like a totally new beast.. There also is a "tune/chip" you can buy from ASB that you can get that will basically tune your bike(its around 100 bucks) but if you would ever change anything you would need to get another tune from them. Thats why people usually tune them theirselves cause that would add up.

Mods that i have done are:
Stock modded pipe, CRG mirrror, low seat(million times better), reset TPS. fender eliminator, LED turnsignals

If i would do it again i would do
Drummer, K&N, Tune, CRG mirror, low seat, integrated turn signals, and different tires..

If your intention was wanting it to sound like a Harley, you succeeded. For a sportbike, sounds way too much like a cruiser. What's it redline? I vote video #1.

redline is really low, i think 6500? maybe i havent been down in the garage in a while to look at it haha.. Yea there is a very small difference btw a true harley motor and these since the 984 is basically a 883 with more power and the 1203 is like the 1200 sportster

thanks for all the info, Scott. I don't think my bike has a resettable TPS. on the 08-up models, it's built into the ecm, I think. I got the DDIII or something. 03-05 and 06-07 had DDI and DDII respectively.

I will ask the tech at Highland, though. Hopefully I can get to 1,000 miles this fall before the weather goes buh-bye.

my redline is 7,100. I think the 9 is 7,500 ?

i think it sounds good, but I also think you need to try not to be in such a rush to take pics


specifically:


wait til u get off the bike lol j/k

[Troll]

well, I was right about the redline on the 9. I'll have to go take mine for a ride and take a pic of the tac so we all know what the 12 is.

[jaa55]

it sounds exactly like my sportster, you can def tell it revs quicker
I have a vance and hines 2 into 1 pro pipe on my bike
ever had it on a dyno??
my 883 put down almost 55hp which i though was pretty good considering just a pipe re jetting and air filter

You internet ninja at it again. lol hahaha do i have you on my list? haha

haha.. Next nice day we will go for a ride to see how you can handle that thing. If you got the same tires as me do not get brave until about 2500-3k miles on them.

With this bike i am more about the torque than HP. More and more i think about it im probably going to pay it off and keep it and just buy a harley its way too much fun to ride even for being a 984cc.. Im going to get a drummer exhaust, k&n filter, some other cooling mods, do the breather mod and tune it with ECM spy from my buddies dad then strap it down.. Hopefully i will have around 100hp and around 85-90lb ft of torque.

Sounds like good numbers. I can only imagine how much fun that thing is to ride, I've been trying to make it to a demo day at a Harley shop thats a Buell dealer so i could ride one. I had a website with all the swap parts i would need to do a buell conversion kit to my sportster, its still on my wish list.

[jaa55]

see, this is kind of the reason I bought a 12. I knew if I bought a 9, I would do the above list of mods. BUT, I thought if I'm making ~90hp/70tq at the wheel stock with the 12, I'll be happy. and I still am, but it's only got 400 miles on it. hahahahaha

I'm hearing you about this handling Scott and mine has the Pirelli Diablos, so they're way ahead of ME. I find myself giving this thing more throttle to keep it up off the white line on right turns. Nuts!

sounds good! its supposed to have snow flurries tuesday........ i love richland!

[Inkdcountryboy]

no way?
what modifications?

Daytona twin tec ignition(no coil)- untuned
Force winder intake/cleaner- carb not jetted for it
screaming eagle cams


but the plans were/are to pull my heads and port them and put in a bigger intake valve. and swap out to andrews cams.

my plans was to make this bike put out over 100 to the wheel.. but its got enough guts the way it sits it eats 1450s. and plus with the fox build and stuff...the most ill do is the head work sometime since ill be bored in the shop this winter..

[jaa55]

still using the stock carb?

haha, im not saying im unhappy with the power, i just like modded stuff haha and making it my "own" bike....

[Inkdcountryboy]

Yessir Stock CV carb

[Inkdcountryboy]

Yessir stock CV carb...and its gonna stay on there too.. paid too much for my force winder intake/aircleaner to ditch on the CV

[jaa55]

wow, thats nothing short of impressive, what kind of gains are the andrews cams supposed to net? if i was making those kind of numbers with a screaming eagle cams i wouldnt bother

sorry for hijacking your thread scott5 haha
