just fitted both kev mods to my tenere
Hi just fitted both kev mods to my ten, the bike has just had its 6000mile service which made quite a difference to the performance, the power hole below 3000rpm was much reduced by the yam dealer, to be fair if i had not already got the kev mods i wouldant have bothered but as I had them i put them on. I put the 02 controller on first and gave the bike a run the first impression was it was a bit lumpier ( you could feel each power stroke of the piston) but the power came in at least 500 rpm earlier so a thumbs up. Next I fitted the DNA stage 2 which consists of the filter plus the very expensive filter cover, (however it gaurantees a good seal.) And then the kev fuel mod I set it to the 5 oclock position and then it was time to give the bike a run. Around town there was not much difference but once i reached the open road I noticed the revs climbed quicker and the bike was definitely more nippy. At first above 3000 rpm I found lumpyness in the power delivery so I pulled over on the moor and reduced the setting on the fuel mod from 5 to the 4 oclock position this smoothed the power as its quite cool tonight about 13 degrees I think the mod was making the fuel too rich on 5. On the way back I noticed the bike held its speed better and i did not have to give it more throttle over the hills. To sum it up, the mods give a wider range of power/torque and the throttle response is more instant. Definitely worth fitting.
