lol, a Shady Shrader product.

Good luck.

Don't use the tune.

Allegedly mine was bored out to 1350 or so CC by the previous owner (he made the claim with nothing to back it up). So if there is a smidge of truth to it, and it was tuned with the oversized bore, then I'd just leave the tune be.

That's a 3.709" bore. Seems silly to go through the effort of case boring for a non-standard size bore and custom piston. Probably 1250 with a typo.

Especially with no papers. I'd have to say someone who went to that much trouble would most definitely have a record of that much work and it would stay with the bike because resale.
 
My AFV is 105.6% without the new tune. It feels okay, there's a little "lumpiness" in the power curve. Basically, it kicks in hard at around 3500 and pulls really well up to around 6500. Then you can feel it drop off from there. I just shift. Off-idle torque is fairly good. I love the way this thing sounds - so tight.

I'm just curious what his response to my AFV will be - he thought that with the stock pipe 105% was "a bit too high and would indicate a mechanical issue".

Anyone else have any experience with this? 105.6% with a new pipe seems fine to me.

- The intake is not leaking - tested that out.
- It has the airbox "delete mod" that just has the K&N filter under the airbox lid (tank lid).
- New plugs & wires
- Exhaust is tight - especially new one. (That mount bothers me but I think I can make that work).


Other than a tune, what am I missing?

Others may chime in with much more detailed info, but 105.6 is not extreme to me at all. If you start getting to 110-115 I would be more concerned, especially if you thought you were on the right tune. You opened up the flow of air, and are now running a little lean. I don't know what that pipe does to the powerband, but my XB12 wakes up at 3k and dies off around 6. Does it feel hotter than normal? Did you go from stock pipe to this one? if so I'm surprised you're actually that close on the tune considering both the intake and exhaust are now more free flowing. Get the tune, reset TPS, and go scare some pedestrians.

Maybe, but I ignore all 'butt-dyno' claims. If it's that bad, go to a dyno and see. On paper.

Yeah it's not that bad - it's just butt-dyno. It's just an observation and not something I'm concerned with. Again, I don't have the new tune from Rev-Mo yet. Things could change with it.

It definitely could. I don't remember my AFV but I was running lean when I first bought my bike. I didn't but their exhaust, but bought their dongle and they sent me the tune for the k&n +jardine combo, and it pretty much nailed it (99.7 last time I checked). If it still doesn't feel right with the new tune, you could be having fuel delivery issues (see: fuel pump), but that's for another thread...
 
So, I'm considering this pipe for my Ulysses. I'm currently running a modified stock muffler with a race map. Bike sounds good and runs fine, but I'm sure I've leaving some power on the table. Does anyone have any info on the power numbers from this thing? I know if I want the optimal exhaust for power where I need to go, but I dont want to spend that much money. Would like to hear some opinions on the quality of the product as well(build, fit, sound)

Also would be planning on getting a map from rev-mo and hopefully installing that with ecmspy. I'm sure they could tell me more, but any foreseeable issues with that plan?

Do a google search for "buell xb exhaust shootout". They put a bunch of pipes back to back on the dyno, including the stock, Race and a bunch of others.

In your case, since you have a Ulysses, I would probably look at having Drummer do a conversion on your stocker. My reasoning is that the aftermarket skid plate seems like a great idea for those bikes and I think it only fits the stock pipe.

The Rev Mo pipe seems pretty neat and is priced right, but it may not hold up to getting smacked by rocks when taken off road. For a street bike it is probably fine, and the short profile of it seems like it would be great on a scg also. My race pipe on my sCG was constantly bottoming on steep driveways and speed bumps.

My $0.02.

Good points. Im not very concerned about serious off road worthiness, but a good thought for others considering this for sure!
Ive read the exhaust shoot out pretty thoroughly. Ideally I'd like to get another d&d because it was tough, made a great jacking point, sounded good and was a pretty decent performer, but at $700... I had one on my first uly and loved it.

What im running now is: I cut open my stock can, removed everything, ran a straight pipe with a crimp baffle in place of the original guts and welded it all back together. I like the sound, but not sure how well it actually performs.
 
Sounds like the Race pipe. On the Rev Mo site, he has pics of a cut open race pipe and its interesting to see the "magic" they used for mo' powa.

I'll take a look:up:

Im sure if I wanted to mess around with actually tuning the bike for what I've got it wouldn't be a terrible performer, but I'm lazy and rather just plug it in and go
