they are crap at answering emails they are busy working on bikes ,best to call them

They had replied next day but failed to send dyno print out. Just thought you were there today and maybe could ask. No problem I'll ring them when I'm back from work.

I plan to go back next week on an evening ,a guy with a speed triple was in the shop talking about his bike after it was dynoed and said it was transformed

Did he expand or just say its better?

ridability,throttle response pick up from low revs and the mid range transformed ,its not about headline bhp figures

Booked it in to have the brake pads replaced under recall next Thursday.

Absolutely there great improvements but it also depends on what the customer wants as everyone wants different things. For example, I'm happy with the throttle response and midrange but would love more top end and another 1000rpm to play with. The great thing about a custom remap is its allows some degree of tailoring to the customer needs.

Don't get me wrong I wouldnt want more top end on a s1000rr but a s3 with a 9500 rev limit is a different proposition. I should probably buy the s3 RS as it would deliver straight out of the box, but if a 400 quid remap can do similar that's a much cheaper option.

The reason I asked if the s3 owner had more detail, is I'm always weary of opinions where people say its loads better and when you ask them why, there answer is, "it just is" without being able to quantify why. When I here that I'm always suspicious placebo effect is going on.

There's loads of bikers who need to make changes with no effect other than in their mind.

It's their money I suppose.

I told you he said ridability mid range and throttle pick up ,the guy I spoke to races in the Ducati 600 twin series I doubt its in his head.
He was having his race bike tuned , Dave Wood ran it on the dyno and said it doesnt need anything doing to it to it except lift the revs so its doesnt skip going into corners.A lot of places would have charged for a map etc but he didnt he said the fuelling is perfect and didnt charge him
I am sure they can lift the rev limiter on yours ,I actually told them I am not even sure why I want it mapped I dont need more power ,the response was a lot of people come in saying that but the bikes go out feeling better
I am going back next week for my custom map if there is a difference I will feel it ,if there isnt I will be honest and say so
toodle pip

Totally misread my post

I only explained why I asked. I didnt critisice your answer or leave any negative comment about Dave Wood that needed defending.

Put new tyres on, then got informed the wheel bearings are knackered, then the service warning came on while riding back home.

Yep. Doesn't sound right.

Taxed it for another year.

Spent the day around Hereford and Gloucester iny the MV with an old mate. He's got a fully tricked up SuperDuke which I had a go on. So easy to ride. It makes more sense on the road than the MV.

Out with the Rat boys on Sunday, riding to remember Roger who sadly passed. Not sure this will work, but we ended up slightly off road for a couple of miles LOL......Ah sorry i cant get the vid to load

Wheeled the Honda out. Washed it. Wheeled it back in.

Did about 300 miles up to Heartside and back vis Tan Hill, a great day and we found a new cafe which has excellent cake, Castle Nook Farm next to the Epiacum roman fort. An interesting little walk to burn off the cake before we carried on.
