Engine Tune Comparison
This graph shows the comparison between three different states of
tune applied to my engine. As can be seen the stock engine made 76BHP which is a far cry
from Suzuki's stated 95BHP.
Once the engine had a stage 3 tune the power just kept coming throughout the rev range. A
big problem with a stage 3 tune is that you lose an awful lot of power in the mid range,
which basically is generally where the bike is most used.
To get back mid-range power I decided to go for the big-bore, this had two advantages.
First, I got my mid range back, and as can be seen from the graph the power just comes in
earlier and harder, throughout the rev range. Secondly, the power now peaks at 10000RPM
instead of 11500RPM which puts a lot less stress on the engine.
