![]() I have been pining for a 1290 Super Duke for years and almost pulled the trigger on one the other day. Besides, all of this crap is easily removeable. BTW - yes - I really don't give a shit how it is all going to look - function over form all day every day. If you would, please post some pix of your GPS setups. Rally Management Services has a cool crossbar that mounts to the fat part of the handlebars - brings it up and in toward the rider - just pulled the trigger on one - we'll see if it shakes out. I have a Touratech locking mount sitting around, but it'll need a cross-bar of some kind. Still figuring out the GPS mount for my Garmin Montana. Other bits include PowerBronze handguards, SW Motech mirror extenders, Gerbings heated gear plug (which seconds as a Battery Tender lead with an adapter) and a Wolfman Rainier tank bag. I'm going to set the bike up with the Madstad touring windshield (great wind protection and quickly removeable) and the full array of Givi hard luggage (bags & racks quickly removeable). The killer app for me is a bike that can travel as well as run naked for local back road blastin'. I've been looking for a liter bike naked for several years. Fleabay used even cheaper.įinally! I just scored a leftover black 2017. Seems like a R1 cams and pistons would be a fairly cheap way to boost HP.Ĭams are around $320 each on RM. The crankshaft has a revised moment of inertia, while the connecting rods still feature a fracture-split design. The pistons are redesigned with flatter crowns and the compression is 12.0:1, while the R1 has a ratio of 13.0:1. The cams have less lift and less duration, which helps flatten the dyno-graph (in a good way). The intake ports are reshaped, terminating at steel versus titanium valves. ![]() As one might guess, the EFI is mapped differently from that of the R1. ![]() The second injector is omitted because its purpose is for high horsepower at high rpm for racing. The R1's two injectors for each cylinder is now a single unit with 25-percent more flow. The EFI throttle bodies are modified, but only to accept the business end of electronic cruise control. Achieving this begins with a larger airbox. Improved streetability means more torque at lower rpm and a bit less horsepower at higher rpm. The engine is derived from the latest version of Yamaha’s beautiful sounding cross-plane crankshaft engine, but it has a number of significant internal differences for improved streetability.
