Picked the bike up yesterday from getting the dyno tune. Puts out 178hp, which is an improvement of 6hp over the pipe/filter without the dyno. Guessing that would be a further improvement again from the initial standard set up.
Just in time for the track day I did today at Wanneroo. In a word, "awesome".
Unfortunately it rained most of the day and only started to dry out on the second last session, which allowed me to start opening her up and going quite hard. I'm surprised at how well it went for such a big bike. The stiffening up of the suspension worked really well and the standard brakes on the Gen11 are a big improvement over the Gen1 I had.
Obviously didn't handle as well as my old K6 GSXR1000, but I was really surprised at how good it was. Expected the gap to be much wider.
Hanging out for the next one.
