Jukie, the pleasure was all mine...

So howd it run - better down low?

Yeah Mike the bike runs smoother but it seems to be idling higher than before and sitting about 1750-2000 rpm, and yes it does sounds different but im just still getting familiar with it

Im sure ive asked this before, but will you need a new ECU seeing you have the pods on?

Apparently not. We had been advised to open up the intake a little because it was running so rich with the little shorty pipes. Seems to run smoother now ... but we obvioulsy had Mike tweak things a bit.

Just remember that this is the all conquering 620 ... so not quite the same as a big 4 valver. I believe TPO offer velocity stacks for the 4v but they sit in the existing airbox ... dunno if that helps Huh?

Does it matter much if it is a bit more "exposed" down there to water etc? Wont do any damage?

I have heard differing points of view but have not seen any evidence of damage. Some have claimed on the forum to have done thousands of miles including torrential downpours with no ill effects, again Huh?

Sorry for all the questions.... So you just installed the Pods and took it to desmo clinic and they did a tune? (how do you do a tune with no ECU/power commander?)

Im still waiting on my mid pipes, but want to book in for a service (once the midpipes are installed)  and most probably some upgrades...... My good mate goes to Gowies but i hear everyone here speaking highly of Desmo Clinic.... im assuming 888906 is Mr DesmoClinic?

Sorry for all the questions

Questions are good ... it's my answers that are dodgy laughingdp

So you just installed the Pods and took it to desmo clinic and they did a tune? ... Well the Boss did the install, yeah (I'm lucky to install my foot in my boot without help). It also seemed to run OK on the way down, but we wanted to get it right. But like I mentioned above this was the case for this particular bike.

How do you do a tune with no ECU/power commander? ... best to ask Mike, but it was a bit of tweaking on the computer/analyser. Not a full tune (i.e. not a dynotune type thing).

Im still waiting on my mid pipes, but want to book in for a service (once the midpipes are installed)  and most probably some upgrades...... My good mate goes to Gowies but i hear everyone here speaking highly of Desmo Clinic.... im assuming 888906 is Mr DesmoClinic? That would be the one, send him a PM/email or give him a call http://www.desmoclinic.com.au/contact_us_5.html ... and if it makes you feel any better Mike worked with/for Ian Gowanloch I believe. Nothing against Gowies you understand ... I have just had no personal dealings with them.

Wow, I knew Dannog was having the slipper fitted, didn't know about the new clutch housing.
And I think the forks are being re-sprung for better weight/comfort for the rider. Guessing the same for the wooden
rear end mod also.

Come on Betty you install your leathers/gloves on a regular basis, now you also install yourself on that new bike.
