Yah bro,

 

hate the stoopid service charge for changing engine oil in Minerva. Ultra-Stoopid but I guess they compensate it back by giving my bike some free checks and batt top-up once in a blue moon. Hehe..

 

Alternative motorshops. Just dont go to this xxx. Tell you guys when we meet Up.

 

Joe's shop got lots of stuff for ducatis. Any of you guys using K&N? I know Justin (Seal) is using on his ST 4.

heya will,

 

my pair of air filters are ducati performance parts, i reckoned they're the same (or just as good) as k&n. it came together with the termi muffler, header and ecu. ecu has been mapped by the oem to suit all the performace parts.

 

there may be a prob when u get 3rd party filters( like k&n). the injection may need a remap.

some of u guys may have gotten a filter and ran well without a remap, so correct me if im wrong.

If I am nt wrong,If just change air-filter,our fuel injection will comprimise the fuel.

Minor diff.But if change pipes must remap.

I have read a article on 999 using just power commander3,others stock,improves the HP and Torque overall.

Yo bro,

 

sorry for the late reply. Busy with work so haven't check out the recent posts.

Guess its too late.. hehe.

 

I would go for the meet-up next week but it has to be after 9.30pm.

 

By the way, did you do any mods to your duke besides the K&N?

I went twice to change oil there but both time also gt checks on my bike.

Eugene is a nice guy.Maybe I went at a time when nt much bikes there,so he gt time to do mine.I do call first before I went down.

I wanted to get K&N but haven.Anyone kw the price for mine?

Yo James,

 

maybe you can give Joe a call. He should have the stock for your superbike.

By the way, hows the performance of your Ducati performance chip? And wats the cost hah?

Ducati can use PC3 meh? I thought we are using EPROM chips.

 

By the way, you guys heard of 'FIM' chips.

Hi,

I am using 45mm termins carbon pipes,with the Eprom chip fr ducati performance parts.It cost ard 100plus for the chip.I feel tat it is still nt very fine tune yet.

Yes,all fuel injection bikes can use PC2 or 3.U can check on their website.

Hi Fireblader,

My duke is a 996S biposto.Yup,the pickup is gd but I feel tat my Ex-R1 is more powerful.The duke have more useable power that I can control and use.The handling is best,compar to jap bikes.

What bike U riding?R U riding a blade?

Nice knowing U.

Hi there,

 

Sorry for taking sometime to reply you.. I used to ride a CBR Fireblade but now I have changed to a '01 YZF R6. I have heard of the handling the Italian Dukes offer over the JAp bikes.. But however, it's not any easy bike for DIY and expensive parts too !

 

IT was nice knowing you too..

 

Anyway, my dream was always having a 996SPS with race specs..

a 998r would cost 48k

A brand new 998R will cost close to 70K here in sg.

Got a fren working in Minerva and i saw him taking the bike out of the crate at one time so asked him bout the owner and how much it cost. He told me it's owned by an ang-moh and the bike was 60++K. Close to 70.

obitrok,

Here r some cut out fr the mag,

"This system is easy in its fitment and gleans good power increases with a minimum of effort.Here,there's been a 6Hp improvement at 500rpm higher,with nearly 3ft-lb of torque added at the same rpm.The exhaust system remains unchanged,so this has been a relatively inexpensive exercise."

hey dude,

 

thanks for the nice piece there. hmm. anyways the shop where michael now owns/works is opposite kallang motorsports. when u enter the industrial park, go straight (anti-direction tho) instead of turning left towards the duke workshop. micheals shop is on the right.

 

cheers
