Subject: Question about @ tuning
Hi,
>Why do you guys want to tune your ATs ?
I asked Africa Queens only because I was interested in what they offer. I
didn't really intend to buy anything there. The same was the question at
STF in Austria.
But I still have the problem, that my @ starting very bad after a week of
standing around. The Transalp did definetely not show that misfeature, so
it is not a matter of physical restrictions, which hit every motorcycle, it
must be something @-specific. And I'm still digging for the solution of
that.
After the three weeks of winter pause I had to start the engine over 10
minutes (20 seconds starting, 40 seconds pause for not overheating the
electric starter motor). I presumed, that a Dynojet Kit could probably
help, but the guy at Motoparts told me, that the starting problems are
totally normal, that a Dynojet does not help (in this issue) and that
these problems can be found on all types of bikes. But as I noticed before,
the Transalp did not show this problems at all.
So I continue searching, happy with my horsepowers and smiling at the
people, which tune their @ and change the engine after 20000 km. ;-)
At least it is totally right, what Thomas said: After having changed the
performance of the motor, the insurance is lost, so it is out of doubt that
at least I will not apply any of these changes.
take care - Marcello (rrr#52, ATIC#9, 13,486% Squid, KotFBL - Africa Twin)
