GO AND GET IT ON THE DYNO.....I had the down loaded pcv map with r77 yoshi and air filter. Bike was producing 145 rear wheel(crescent at Verwood) 2013 Blade. after a mornings work was producing extra 5 hp bottom end and from 9000 upwards increasing to 167hp. It really is a no brainer the maps from the web are obviously pretty average to say the least....
I uncovered it to show the in-laws, started it and gave it a few blips, kissed it and re-covered it....Bliss!
Rode it like a tagnut for a couple of hours .... and then I got my head straight and started riding decently (it's been a while since I was on it)
broke another bit of fairing, this time the rear most fairing mount snapped on the inside when I was applying a new dream decal.I swear the plastics on this bike are the thinnest cheapest s&*t I have seen on a motorcycle to date.
In the process of going from this colour scheme: to this: A few things left to do on these chinese fairings,having a bit of a problem with the left middle fairing, but thats only because I forget how to place 2 of the large plug sockets on the left side under the ram air tubes, may have to pop down to dealer to see where they go as the inner panel does not fit flush up near the bottom of the yoke now. Its passed a few hours in the sun away, all in all though pretty happy with how its turned out so far, aside from the wonky Repsol and a few minor paint issues. I will say though be prepared to walk away when the going gets tough otherwise you will snap something!!!!! I have not replaced mudguard as I do not have a tool for the rivets where the brake bracket is attached to side of guard
Got a pair of Michelin PR3s fitted. Then got giddy and fitted myself a gold Tsubaki chain and some renthal sprockets -1 front, +1 rear. only took me about 2 hours, which im impressed with.....
Beatiuful pipe best I've seen on a blade how much if you don't mind me asking and have you got to fit a powercomander with the pipe Cheers
Not exactly the same as the Granthams replica as posted on this site, i just e mailed Auctmarts loads of photos of the motogp 2013 Repsol and this is there effort. Could of gone for a bit of the Black and white flashes that the gp bike has by the seat/ tail unit, but for £400 all in,to use on track etc am pretty happy with it. Looks good to me, just the lowers to fit now, job done, hopefully.
Looks really good, the main repsol logo could do with being angled down a bit? Seems a little horizontal compared to Grantham Honda and the Motogp bikes but for £400 it's not a bad effort at all I am starting to like the new repsol colours and am sure Honda will do these own eventually?
Am with ya there Jimbo! I could be well tempted to loose some power and have that fitted to my HRC. The only paint scheme I've seen better is the Black/Grey/White Repsol paint job someone posted a few weeks back, was it you Mr Shanks?
167hp at the back wheel is quite enough for me and will keep with the slow colour scheme!! Not like you fast HRC chaps
maybe i should start a good discussion on TM exhaust - let me get some info together and ill organise it.
When I tried to sell my TM on here I got severely trolled by a few members and the post had to be closed down!! The people that dislike them dislike them with a passion I've not witnessed before
