Is there any way to get some HP out of the 2012-13 Blade?

[arobbins354]

I have a 2012 1000rr with the Taylor Made exhaust and PCV pre mapped by Taylor Made Racing. I had the bike ran on a dyno and the bike put down 161hp to the tire. We did not do the torque due to time restraints and also I have the BMC race filter installed. I think that the bike would have put more HP down but the IRC that was on the bike at the time of the dyno test was bad...

I would probably start with:

-Slip on
-IRC
-PCV
-flapper mod

Then if that's not enough get a 520
Chain, sprockets and a custom tune.

I haven't been out ran by anything on the street. Gotta love the Honda!

Thanks guys. I am thinking about doing the full power up kit from Taylormade or the Austin Racing exhaust plus their pre mapped PCV, they said the slip on itself plus the pcv adds 8hp, then u can get more with a custom tune as well.

What is the flapper mod and how do i do it? lol

[Larson]

08 Flapper mod

Here is a write up. I'm not sure if the '12 has them tho. Sounds like you have a good idea to start.

If you want max power a slip-on ain't going to do it.

I am also the type of guy to research before my purchase and mods is a part of my research. Wife says i have OCD when it comes to my bikes but i call it passion. During my looking at bikes and mods i like to figure out the best bang for buck. I can get a better price on the honda, but i also like to see how much it might cost me to get the bike how i want it a lil bit before hand.

Also it seems my sarcasm goes unnoticed around here haha. Trust me i can cruise just fine on any of big japs, i dont really do meet ups but i do like to know how much power im rocking just in case someone wants to test me hahaha ( again thats a joke ).

The money is there for any bike i choose, even the Duck 1199 Panigale but them things feel horrid in the cockpit. Id rather spend $10,000 on the honda and a mother couple grand getting her to run how i like.

Dam.. Seee .. I'm not bout' dat life (baller)

Lol not really a baller. I work hard for everything I have. I don't rich parents who spoil me or buy me everything. When I was 15 I bought my own dirt bike and have been buying everything myself since. I don't work in an office doing a 9-5 either haha. I work a mans job, I make steel pipe.

Anyway, I'm just trying to get an idea about things. Id really need to ride one though.

Yeah man.. I mean, this thing 'stock' throws my scrawny little arse around . I am coming from a 600 though but it seems to have more than enough juice to wheelie,get up and go, and just that perfect balance for milder riding on the street. Already has a hairpin throttle. In another thread riders were saying how they sometimes have it in 5th on the street... It's a bit much to be in other gears. I'm not a wheelie fan at all .. came out of a turn the other day and went to get in another lane to pass up a cager.. decide to give it some juice.. just rolling slowly on throttle .. next thing you know the front is up in the air.. so i try to go up a gear but still try to accelerate .. boom.. its up again.. I'm like wtf .. ... 3rd gear.. roll on.. It's up again.. .. I chilled out and couldn't stop . Meanwhile this is slightly rush hour and people must be like wtf is wrong w/ this kid. yo'

[D0minate]

Haha nice man.. I'm looking for something a lil easier to wheelie cuz my other bikes took a bit of work in anything other than 1st.. I'm not a fan of first gear wheelies lol. So I'm thinking the honda would be the most fun for me.

I think you mean "hair trigger." Why must we mangle the English language so?
