Hey Fellas, just a quick question on stage II and wether or not its a measorable change for 2K ? I have stage one SE tuner and SE breather V&H exhast and I did notice the difference from stock on that but it was a lot cheaper.
Cheers
Ok no comments........................ I guess everyone goes stage 4 lol
Cheers Hilly, mate the dealer recommended it ( yea don't laugh) I have stage one but I am looking to get a bit more go when I have the missus on the back. But was wondering is it worth 2k
Cams and a dyno I believe....
Nah I cant do it Hilly, yea must be a good tune lol
Mate its Gas Alley in Brisbane I think they have a good rep. They seem like a good bunch as well, to be honest I had stage one done at Wacker and the guys at GA fixed it up for free.
I cant recall hilly, they would be the SE ones
Each to their own but I reckon $2k is a lot of money for the gain you're likely to get out of cams and a tune. If its just a canned tune i wouldnt consider it and even with a custom tune i still dont know if the gain would be worth the outlay. If I was going to spend $2k, I'd hold off and save more towards the stage 4 goodies, or perhaps the cams and an s&s 106 kit.
Cheers fellas, maybe wait I think.
Max, I am still under warranty so I am not sure about stepping outside the dealer at the moment but it sounds like a good option.
I doubt they will honor warranty if you do anything to it but it would be worth asking.
Just MHO but for a clutch spring, set of cams, pushrods and tuner it seems a lot of $$$. You will notice a difference beyond what the pipes and AC made no doubt. If it was mine I would be looking for a new set of lifters as well depending on how many Km's was on it and an oil pump spring while it was apart but thats more $$ again.
Would it be cheaper for you to buy the stage 4 kit now and just get the cams done and keep the rest till $$ are available?? although the stage 4 cams might not work so well with the stock compression. I thought stage 4 fitted was about $4500
well i tossed up those equations myself how much do i wana spend ,but i knew in the bak of my mind that would cost more to go up in stages 1 -4 so i sat down at home an tossed all this up in my head, u wana do this then just go to iv and save haveing to do all stages 1 - 4 jus go 4 ok ,an ya go i cant afford it but if ya keep spendin money 2 get to iv the costs will be dearer than going strate to iv in da first place .cost me 4750 ride in ride out ,after 1000ks new oil they paid 4 that then had to be dynoed i was reluctant as cost 500 to do but was told it is a must so i did as requested ,was it worth 5200 to achieve this awsome power well yes you cant believe you r rideing same bike coz it aint now you have something that will give a feeling that u go wow that was worth it a small price really 2 gain so much SHINGLES
Cheers Shingles, I think ill wait and have a think about IV down the track.
Ok well I got impatient as usual and went with stage II, ended up costing we half what it should have after selling a few bits and the dealer rebate on the wheels so that was great. Dyno below ( looks good to me) the dealer said it went well, the bike goes great and has a nice idle.
Yea happy as a pig in sh&t Hilly, been out on it most of the day, I went with the 255 due to how I ride. I don't tend to get over 4500-5000 rpm so the torque is in the right spot for me.
So @ $1100 you got 11 HP? Thats $100 per HP!
Guess so
