http://www.bikeinterceptor.com/products I was looking at getting a power commander V. But found the Bike Interceptor. Anybody have any experience with these? Thanks
No never, so if it was my cash I would stick with buying a PCV as there is plenty of centres that can map it for you and give advice if needed
theres a lot of people that use the interceptor and rate them. think phil seton is the main supplier/importer,try him Race Bike Preparation and Engine tuning | Seton Tuning just because you've never heard of something doesn't mean it's rubbish,Bazzaz was never heard of 2 yrs ago,but are very highly rated now,more so than the dynojet.
Seton tuning mapped my bike and I enquired about an Interceptor a the time. They said they were having trouble getting hold of them and they fitted a PC instead which has been no problem.
I don't use them or the bazzaz unit as I find it easier to get the Pc mapped as a fella I know is a official tunning center and does All my set ups for me.that and a very large online map database.
Thanks for the replies. My 2008 Fireblade is stock. I just do a few track days on it. But next year I would really like to take it to the Salt lake (Lake Gairdner in Australia) national speed trails. Similar to Bonneville for those that have not heard of Salt late racing. I just wanted to make sure the air fuel ratio's were safe before I try and hold it falt for a few mile. Hoping to do 180mph or a bit over. Stock I don't think it will do it.
dyno set up is dyno set up,Dynojet or not. as for a big database online,pointless,every bike is different even if you have the same spec/system,no substitute for dyno time and a specific map.
CBR engines are very simliar (unlike Ducati for example). My "generic" map works brilliantly and dyno time would be a waste for me.
you'd think wouldn't you. very similar,you's expect identical,but alas they are not,due to various reasons,running in style,oil,you name it. as for using a generic map,yepo they would be better than without,but there is no substitute for a proper bike specific map. if your just riding on the road,then maybe it would be a waste,but then so would the PC/bazzaz/interceptor/quick shifter anyway.
exactly my thoughts.generic map is close enough until I can get a custom map. no generic maps with other units so what do you do until you can get a custom one??
Well these engines are similar enough that I rate my generic map to be brilliant, just based on feel and comparison to previously owned tuned bikes. A generic map can be a substitue for a bespoke one in the real world, although it may look slightly worse on a dyno. Youre technically correct, but for some bikes and riders, it makes no difference. I suppose all I'm saying is I'm satisfied enough that I dont feel the need to chuck more money at something which doesnt need it.
I think if we look at it half the mods we dont really need, its just to make it feel better or piece of mind that the bike wont cr@p itself x amount of miles later.
