Give us a posting of your immpression of the improvement or not.
I am doing techlusion at my first service. I am doing FI and K&N air cleaner, no pipe change. Need input. 200 miles to go.
Thanks

where did u uys get your techlusion from and how much.thanks

blackie1491 · 06-27-2005, 09:56 PM

My dealer here on the weswt coast got them. Pricey. $349. Can.
I have seen them for $169 Us.
I think fizzy is a test mule. Hoping to hear from him shortly.
I expect the first of next week as I need to put on 200 miles for my first service. Will post my seat of the pants feeling asap.

lYxFizzyl · 06-27-2005, 10:14 PM

Hey hey now.... not a test mule close but no cigar

blackie1491 · 06-27-2005, 10:37 PM

Your right but us canucks are known to run around with our foot in our mouth. Real difficult when on two wheels at the same time.

blackie1491 · 06-27-2005, 10:44 PM

TEST DUMBIE= Cigar Cuban I hope.

farmbone · 06-27-2005, 11:40 PM

I read some where that the stock air filter is half closed. Can it be opened all the way, and the stock pipes opened up and maybe add a fi processor? Will I be ok with that setup?

blackie1491 · 06-28-2005, 01:16 AM

I have been told to add a K&N air cleaner ($40) add FI management and then better exchaust. Taking out the baffles or just drilling some holes in the end piece. These are the questions we all seem to be asking. I am going to leave the exhaust alone. But it will about 10 days before I am done.
Some have gone all the way some are happy at stock. I think it is riding style, altitude and just time to see the results of dirrerent approaches.
I have been uncertain, but I told the dealer to bring the parts in. So I will post asap.

Not the air filter supposidly its part of the air box on the air intake side that is half closed off.... im going to investigate this as i have the bike appart today to install this techlusion... im taking pictures of installation so if you all want to see let me know... be forwarned though the bike is a little dirty

farmbone · 06-28-2005, 08:20 AM

blackie1491 · 06-28-2005, 09:56 AM

JHey this is a family site. NO DIRTY PICTURES.
There are a few of us awaiting the verdict on techlusion.
So there is a lot riding on you. So when you are working and you feel people looking over your shoulder, it is us.
Hope your operation is a success.

lYxFizzyl · 06-28-2005, 11:20 AM

HEHEHE well i hope that its a clean operation... from what i understand it should only take 20-30 minutes i will get on as soon as i have finished... im gonna start around 4:30 PM EST and prob finish around 5 so i will take it for a ride and let you know the verdict

blackie1491 · 06-28-2005, 05:58 PM

YxFizzy;
Check Kruzer's photo's of his techlusion unit. It will be a big help.
Awaiting results is like waiting for my first grandchild last April.
Good luck

lYxFizzyl · 06-28-2005, 11:11 PM

DO YOURSELF A FAVOR ORDER THE TFI NOW! all I can say is WOW lower RPM take off = FAST wide open take off feels like your going to do a wheelie this bike has been unleashed and im not even done with it there is still some fine tuning to it but for now this will do just fine!!!! cant wait to put new air filter and open up air box more.... next thing to come is a new exhaust!!!

blackie1491 · 06-29-2005, 12:08 AM

It is on order with a K&N air cleaner. Will be done at 600 mile service.
I am happy with my pipes. You and Kruser seem to be happy.
Get out there and ENJOY.
Thanks

lYxFizzyl · 06-29-2005, 07:25 AM

where did you get your K&N from thats the next thing on my list for right now... at least until i can get more money for some pipes... just remember, loud pipes save lives!!! so louder is better

farmbone · 06-29-2005, 09:55 AM

I wonder if George is still going to give me my discount ???lol

lYxFizzyl · 06-29-2005, 11:22 AM

all the sudden came up with the money huh???

blackie1491 · 06-29-2005, 11:53 AM

Try Oneidasuzuki.com or J&P Cycles. I am one of those people who had better stick with his dealer. It is cheaper than my screw ups.
