Just joined - have a question...

Hi, I am a new Tenere owner who just joined this site and am overwhelmed with the quality of information here! I have a question but just want to apologise in advance in case the topic has been addressed many times in the past!

I am interested in buying the following 3 items from OTR.
Firstly, would there be any problems installing them together?
If not, would this combination be the best in terms of improving performance?
And lastly, would I need anything else before installing these filters for them to work without issue?

(1) DNA Stage 3 air filter XT-660 Z ( http://www.off-the-road.de/en/XT-660-Z-Tenere/XT-Power/DNA-Stage-3-air-filter-XT-660-Z.html )

(2) DNA High Flow Airfilter XT-660 Z Tenere '08- ( http://www.off-the-road.de/en/XT-660-Z-Tenere/XT-Power/DNA-High-Flow-Airfilter-XT-660-Z-Tenere-08.html )

(3) Power Commander V XT660Z + O2 Optimizer ( http://www.off-the-road.de/en/XT-660...Optimizer.html )

Any answers would be much appreciated!

Al

Firstly, Welcome.

The three items you have listed are designed to work together, in fact you shouldn't really run the DNA filters without a fuel modification, especially the Stage 3.

The Stage 3 filter hasn't really proved very popular, if you take a look through the forum some people have actually taken it off. The main reasons for this are;
1) it's gets damaged by off-road boots
2) it's benefits are for top end performance
3) it lowers your wading depth

You will need the both Stage 1 and 2 unless you are going to cut your snorkel off. The DNA cover is stiffer than a cut down snorkel, and in my opinion better at keeping a seal, but others have functioned perfectly OK by cutting out the snorkel.

You'll need to get a PC-V map suitable for the DNA's a few of us have this setup so a map is easily sourced, unless you want to put your bike on a Dyno. Obviously you'll get a more 'personal' map for your bike on a Dyno, over a 'standard' map (that isn't very far out anyway)

I'm not an expert but you could save a fortune by:

Fitting the Kev 02 sensor mod.
Fitting DNA stage 1 and 2.
Fitting the Kev Fuel Mod.

Those PCV's are bloody expensive.

I would go this route...

Welcome on board Al

Have a read of this before you commit to buying the stage 1-2-3 combo, it explains all the hp/torque gains (and losses) with the various setups.

Sadly the dyno graph image link seems to have disappeared though, but the text explains it all.

Thank you all for your help!
Gas_Up_Lets_Go, appreciate that extra info on the stage 3 - maybe a no-go given the stock plastic cover is already scuffed from my boots.
Now just wondering where I can get Power Commander Maps for the Tenere.......any ideas?
Cheers!

Is changing the exhaust also a must if you want to fit these on the Tenere?

Thanks

No, a different exhaust will pretty much give you less weight (so easier to pick up!) and some will give you more lower end torque (MTC single can for instance) but there is no requirement for fuel modifications to support a new can. And there is no requirements for a new can to support fuel/airbox mods.

The airbox/fuel mods will give you more noticeable improvements over a can.

Of course, most performance upgrades will give little amounts of improvement, add them all together and you have a very different bike. For example, Keithblade has a standard bike, I have DNA S1 & S2, PC-V, O2 Tuner and MTC Single Can. I'm much heavier than Keith too, yet my bike can out pace Keiths' quite noticeably.

Thanks mate. I have been thinking about whether I need the fuel mod and the DNA 1&2, but seems like a good option.
Well go for the 02 sensor mod too.

I am more interested in improving the 'rideability' of the bike more than getting more power. Can't wait to have these mods fitted.

Thanks
