    Well, just seen a similar thread on the Motors forum for cars and I thought it would be fun to do the same here. Try uploading the pics on boards if possible (photobucket and imageshack blocked in work :()!

    Here's my (standard looking) '02 Suzuki Bandit 600. Can't wait to get modding! Hating the back of it...

    Subway I'll bring my camera in to work if you want me to take pics of it! :p

    Here we go again.... :rolleyes:

    Well it's been a while :D, and I've added engine bars, a Remus carbon exhaust, and a Bagster tank protector. Anyone guess where the photo was taken?

    Thats my babeh. Need to get a newer pic sorted :cool:
    She's got a set of Termi's, A comfort seat for all the long jurnys I do, K&N Air filter and a Power commander with a coustom map. Oh and a new back tire... damned Dyno


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,892 ✭✭✭madrab


    did the power commander do much for it?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,109 ✭✭✭sutty


    I got the bike back on monday from getting the coustom map done. When the bike was running lean (a standurd map was on it) I was getting 63BHP at the back wheel. Compaired to the 55.9 I was getting when the bike was first gotten with no mods. Now the Air and fuel is perfect on the butten. However the power went down to 59BHP. However, this may have been due to a bauld back tire... The Dynos eat up your tires. So a Coustom map (requireing many runs on the dyno) just kills it. There was a foot and a 1/4 long strip of metal threads exposed. So a brand new tire is on her now. Be interesting to see if there is a change. I'm having a problem with revs past 8000, the bike should got to 10,000. But once you go over 8k it drops back to 8 and then stays there. So I need to take a look at the map and then see if I can get Ducati to take a look when bike goes in for its main service. But before that 8k mark. There is a ton of nice and even power. No dead spots or flats, no changes or "boosts" of power as you go through the range. So I am pretty damned happy with it over all.

    Engine bars on a Beemer... A must!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 19,533 ✭✭✭✭Krusty_Clown

    Hmmm... Everyone else seems to drop them at some stage... Must be the higher centre of gravity:confused: With the cost of BMW replacements, it's a worthwhile investment.

    The last bike I dropped was an SV650s 4 or 5 years ago.. Was listening to the engine and forgot to put down the kickstand when I was getting off of it.. :o Expensive mistake.

    oh hell yeah between the africa twin & the transalp the enginre bars have prevented a good few broken panels from silly things like leaving the disc locks on or forgetting the bike is in gear when starting it :)

    I actually took a screenshot of your moped, pasted it into Paint, took a sample of the colour on your fuel tank then compared it to other colours in Paint. Have a look at the attached!

    If you don't trust me do it yourself!

    My recently restored '91 CBR250R. It was a black and red ratbag with a torn seat, crash damage and loose spark plugs, but now it is very yellow and almost finished. I must paint the back wheel one of these days...
