How Much POWER?? | GSX-S1000 GX Tuning Project | EP02

[@alanshearing7515]

Cool insight in to tuning . Good result , be interesting to hear your opinion on the road . So expensive doesn’t mean better !. Great video Chops 👍.

[@davidlutton4560]

Really interesting and what a clever, informative and down to earth guy. To squeeze that amount of extra bhp is simply superb and fair play to your new exhaust system. That will certainly shut the doubters up! Will be keen to hear your real world on-the-road opinion in due course. Thanks for sharing.

[@stinkerdoodle1737]

I read an article that ran a test on the same Dyno, a GSXS and GSXS/GT both different years but same motor that made 136HP and some tenths at the rear wheel stock, w/ a full system 150+ HP. Love this series and your channel. I want of those bikes.

[@apexslider1]

My K61K made 158whp with a slip on and it feels like a beast on the street. At my age, a bit more upright and some cargo space with the same power sounds like a blast!

[@LambChopRides]

Oh yes it is 😎😎

[@JGBDental]

This is exactly the information I've been waiting to learn! Ive got my eyes on this bike ever since it came out, but was unsure how upgradeble it was.. Thanks a lot! I will be making a test ride coming spring!

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah it's like my old K8 GSXR now but with comfort and panniers!!

[@heliojunior218]

So, I’ve booked my bike for next week for the remap, and criteria was the word I landed on because Mr. Steve will tick all the right boxes-precision, knowledge, and definitely a love for fast machines Helio - CB650R - 2024

[@LambChopRides]

Great news, you won't be disappointed 👍

[@daystate123]

You'll get 3bhp and wonder why you bothered

[@ianmalleau3398]

Nice! I had to do the same on my GT.. up a little fueling and ign at the top when I realized it was a little too lean at higher rpm's on the highway! Steve really knows what he's doing!

[@jesus2400]

Tuner is on top of his game I need to find a guy like him in the US.

[@ticthedog6095]

Great video, Steve is such a knowledgeable chap and £500 to go on the rolling road doesn’t seam excessive when I’m paying nearly £300 for a addblue delete on a van. I watched 44 teeth video and they got similar power out of £2k 21 year old GSXR1000 showing over 50k miles, i does make you wonder why would you buy a new bike?

[@steviewylie5267]

Bought a lextek system for my mt09 tracer,could pick high or low level,choice of end cans and lengths for tone,very happy with it and Bought new because used ones on ebay I kept getting outbid,bang for buck I think the lexteks are superb value.

[@headhuntersixx8164]

This makes me excited as I have the ‘24 GSXS 1000, and have just ordered a full system and new air filter for her. There is a tuner down the road from me who did my ‘16 CBR 1000 RR, so this should work out nicely. Cheers. 😁

[@gavd6726]

Good that. I bet the bike flies now and should be a lot better to ride. It sounds awesome too! Steve is quality. 🙌🏼💫

[@LambChopRides]

Thanks Wattie 👍

[@MatNewtonTrio]

For the full system and the map under a grand is very good. Be interesting to hear your thoughts after the road test. I’ve honestly found the fuelling on my previous Suzuki to be almost perfect. My MT is pretty diabolical and I have to change my gear and throttle input to smooth it out whilst covering the clutch at lower speeds.. 😂 Steve is my local guy so I should probably give him a shout.

[@stonesie81]

My MT-10 was one of the very early ones and was a pig at low speeds, Leo Vince 3/4 exhaust and a Rolling Road tune transformed that bike into a very well mannered thing at low speeds and even more of a hooligan when I opened it up, 154 at the tyre was a lot of fun with that crossplane engine. It's money well spent.

[@LemonDrizzleGang]

Quality video as usual 👍

[@JDeezle21]

Been waiting for this video since the installation video ❤

[@stevecade857]

Great gains from a cheap exhaust + map. I still want to know what difference YOU feel on the road. Weeeeeeee.

[@LambChopRides]

Yes I will be bringing a road test vid soon 👍

[@LambChopRides]

It's 20 hp increase not 3!

[@stevecade857]

@@Mikaeel84 Tuning is not always about outright power increases. It can be about how the bike delivers the power once you eliminate the homologation restrictions that have been imposed. A healthier mid range and smoother bottom end power delivery are major benefits in every day road riding.

[@mrcintheuk4641]

What a quiet, unassuming, professional guy that really comes across as knowing his business!!! If you're keeping the bike stock, is it still worth tuning a bike to turn off all the emission, noise restrictions and those other bits and pieces he mentioned for general riding to get the best out of a stock bike?

[@LambChopRides]

Yes absolutely I think it is, all the lower end throttle improvements will be exactly the same with a stock pipe 👍

[@philiplaking5382]

Had my S1000R exhaust and remap done recently, alongwith a chain extension.. 170hp at the wheels and so much more stable by increasing the wheelbase. Would be interested in doing a comparison with yours

[@moniquemoors1974]

My dream bike, i rode it last year. Just pure power, i have a t7. But think i'am gonna mis the t7... but that engine just !

Got my mod 2 in mid January…. I’m so glad I found this channel… brilliant knowledge and information about everything in motorbikes…. So many other channels just yap and yap… You actually learn decent info with this channel.

[@airotechuk7261]

A few years ago I sent my 2014 zx10r ecu away to Richard Brancroft (RB engineering Gloucestershire) he unlocked quick shifter, launch control, knocked off lamber sensor and exhaust valve, sorted the mid range increased rev limiter by 500rpm for sprocket charges knocked off speed limiters and added 2 % fuel on a closed throttle for a smooth transition from off to on, the bike was totally different absolutely night and day so much better all for £200 not sure how much now but definitely worth it

[@grenphelps7455]

Nice video, although, I thought you would have given us a little bit of feedback from your ride home, to see how much difference there would have been on the road compared to the dyno...

[@clubstyleridahd4695]

Those Chinese exhaust are getting better and better. Some are exact copies.

[@pauln6803]

The Chinese can do pretty much what any other nation can, bar one or two highly specialised industries. It's something to be concerned about if you value Western industry.

[@HippoDrones]

Sounds like they did a great job with it, nice folk over at Steve Jordans.... am kinda wishing I'd not spent all the £££ on the SC Project exhaust for my 800, it seems quite a restrictive exhaust and non-removable baffles too!

[@tommoso55]

Steve dyno'd my gen1 gsx-s 1000 a few years ago

[@The.JZA.]

I had my CB650R tuned (derestricted) and now it guzzles fuel, even when I am just cruising. Would be nice if they could tune it for power while also keeping some of the fuel efficiency features turned on. I went on a group ride recently and I used more fuel than anyone else with my 649cc engine and there were people there with much bigger and more powerful bikes. They were also riding faster than me and still used less fuel. It's possible that maybe I used more because I was slowing down more for corners and therefore accelerating more when exiting corners but I also did some of the ride just cruising in 5th/6th and going around corners at moderate speeds. I am also 110kg all geared up so consider that too. While the bike runs great with the tune and makes great power, I still would sacrifice some of the smoothness for efficiency when I am at lower throttle positions (cruising, idle, commuting).

[@I0ITuGI0I]

There's too many variables, if you want it tuned to stop guzzling fuel then it might be worth talking to people who tune bikes like Steve in the vid to get more info on whats going on. Asking us in the comments section won't really give you that kind of indepth knowledge that Steve has to be fair.

[@The.JZA.]

@ Agreed but tuners don’t want to talk just for fun. They want $$. I tried talking to the guy that tuned my bike and he basically told me to put it back to stock if I was worried about fuel efficiency. Kinda useless response. I asked him if plugging the O2 sensor back in would increase economy at low throttle positions and he agreed that it would but said “it’ll run worse because it will be trying to be lean like stock” and I said “sounds like exactly what I want” since the bike only uses the O2 sensor at low throttle positions and RPM but as soon as you start romping on it it’ll ignore the O2 sensor and just run from the map. Sounds like a win-win for me. I have been on two rides with the O2 sensor plugged in and so far it feels fine. I’ll monitor the fuel economy and see if it improves.

[@I0ITuGI0I]

@The.JZA. there are other people who dyno bikes etc you can get opinions from just like asking a seperate doctor for a 2nd opinion.

[@LambChopRides]

Hmm good question I will measure them for you 👍

[@lordgibbness]

Worth disabling the pair valve too, those fake crackles aren't needed, and a future owner can remove the hardware if they want then...

[@johnharvey5338]

So how does that compare to to the original K5 the engine is based on, could you put K5 cams in to get more power, thinking just how good the K5 was.

[@LambChopRides]

I don't think it's now a million miles away from k5 power now! They were about 175 crank I believe...

[@Bunter1815]

I wonder what you could have achieved without changing the exhaust; I'm guessing the limiters can all be removed/changed with the stock can.

[@LambChopRides]

Yes absolutely! Gains to be had for sure just removing restrictions 👍

[@markreynolds8630]

Surly an improved air filter is a real cheap upgrade, with torquey benefits, No?

Yes it might make a couple more HP. But I don't want to sacrifice filtration, you can't beat the standard filter for maximum filtration imo

Junction 33 developments has done lots of back to back testing on the GT and is of the opinion that you lose mid range but gain a horsepower or 2 at the top end.

[@jomad7684]

Lots of people after watching this 🤔🤔🤔 💷💷

[@motorcycle_workshop]

Steve is a well respected tuner and knows his stuff but unfortunately he has given you a bit of wrong info. You can see that his Dynapro is set for DJHP (check box top right of screen and bottom left on graph) which means it is measuring estimated crank horsepower. Turn that setting off and you’ll get a rear wheel figure of about 122/123. It’s there so that they give the same figures (as close as possible) to a Dynojet dyno.

[@LambChopRides]

I can't comment on how Steve has configured his dyno.. but I've ridden it, its way more than 120 hp!

[@motorcycle_workshop]

@ you can download the operating manual for a Dynapro dyno from their website and that’s where it will state that with the DJHP setting the figures are estimated crank figures. Everyone with a Dynapro dyno (me included) runs it with this setting as you would look stupid if you had a dyno that gave a figure 17% lower than everyone else’s. Just because you observe the rear wheel spinning the drum of a dyno does not automatically mean you are being given a rear wheel bhp figure. ‘At the back wheel’ is the biggest misused phrase used when talking about dyno results.

[@LambChopRides]

Yeah I get your point, I guess dyno figures are always based on the dyno setup, a lot of variables, I know air temp / pressure are also factored and adjusted in the power figures. Whats important is the before and after results. I know its more than 120 hp as ridden enough bikes to know what that feels like, plus Steve knows based on the other bikes he's run on there 👍

[@lold6130]

Princess Leia's let herself go.

[@smarter_solutions]

Shouldn’t it have 152hp standard?

[@Mosrmosr993]

[@andrewshore262]

When I see this it does make me think how long before manufacturers throw in the towel, developing and marketing bikes that have to meet some ridiculously stringent noise and emission regulations, and still compete and be fun to ride they must be near the limit of what’s possible. Left wing dogma imposing their daft net zero bollox on us all just because they believe in veganism and bicycles, but it always makes me smile when all these restrictions can simply be……junked or adjusted! Long live freedom of choice 👍

Just bought a 2007 Kawasaki with 18,000 miles on it for $7,500, which came with a $600 receipt for a dyno tune in which they were able to tweak it up to 172 wheel hp. Just shows you don't have to pay too much for more power than you'll really need. Why pay $600 for a dyno tune to get 5 more unnecessary horse power?
