Subject: Question about @ tuning


Hi, all of you,
i have a small question:
Why do you guys want to tune your ATs ?. I don't see any reason, my one has
as far as i know about 57HP or alike (means open version as released by
HONDA). The engine is real healthy and works just great, so tell me what i
need a few more HPs for and all the trouble coming along with that. Do you
really think you realize the few more HPs in every days usage, i bed you do
NOT; and if so you will get used to it and do not remember it anymore after
a few days. So what is all this good for. There might always be somebody
driving a "normal" AT who is overall as fast as some guys with tuned @s
because he or she is driving a better "line".
I personnally can only see one good reason for engine tuning. And that is
if you really use your @ for rallys, and there nobody cares about changes
of the engine being "TUEVed".

And please do not put flames on me for this opinion; my last bike had
120HP, but the KTM i owned had much more power in every day usage with only
48HP.

If you need more power lets say for an extreme holiday trip i would rather
go for using different sprockets than for engine tuning.

Have fun discussing this,
JJ
