I also tried the Pipercross without the air box, actually have tried & tested extensively the ECU remap & filter combination with different setup like

1) No airbox,
2) With airbox without the intake pipe,
3) With airbox without intake pipe and another hole for intake.

But discovered that in all this, the resonance created by the air inside the airbox(stock setup) is the best.

Engineer's have made the airbox and the pipe for a reason, without it and other setup the bike runs out of air in mid range, say 4-6k rpm when you twist open the throttle, bcz at that time there's no existing air. And same at the top-end.

Conclusion, Paper filter replaced in stock airbox & intake pipe with Pipercross with no major bump in performance but I can feel that the bike breathes smoother & cleaner..

PS: I also ruined a filter in 2 days, brutal & aggressive testing. Returned it to MotoZone and now getting a new one in a couple of days...

Edit: Money spent on a Pipercross filter with lifetime warranty, Worth It!!!

Thank you!

Advice acted upon.

I too faced the running-out-of-air issue a few times when I was using the pipercross without the box. Have fitted the box-pipe setup with pipercross today. This is what you were suggesting right?

Also, Have you tested pipercross with the ECU remap? If yes, please throw light on that too. Because I had used that for a week and did not see a major bump in the performance, hence returned it to Motozone.

I personally think there is no to rub black paint..if in case you dont like the new paint scheme u can revert back to original black paint.

It was because of me, I want to make it look brighter, but instead of orange it became lil reddish type...

The map that I tried was just the stock ecu cutting of at 12k rather than 10.5k rpm. So till 10.5k its all the same, just that you get to stretch a little more in every gear till 12k.

So the speed in every gear till the red line was increased, did a 145kmph, but then the bikes screams at redline.

I'm working on the sprocket to get to those speeds at lower rpms, so the bike would run a little more smoother...

Are you speaking about the remap from Motozone?

If you want longevity I'll suggest go for powder coating, but that will cost you more as compared to the prices of the rims itself.

Instead go for the 390 rims if you want Orange. D200s front costs 3300 and afaik the siblings share the same alloys..

Checked abt 390's rims at the SVC, the supervisor sachin said the sprocket fitting on the rear rim of 390's is a bit different than the 200.
So spraying is the only option...

Sprocket doesn't fit in the alloy, it fits in a hub which is slided between the drum rubbers inside the alloy...

Afaik the alloys are the same.. Hub might be different, which should not be an issue...

So you are saying that after paying 8k you only get the rev limiter shifted to 12k instead of 10.5 and apart from that there is no change? If yes, then is it worth going fo rit because I hardly ever redline. I thought the remap will give the bike a madder low and mid-range as well

For that u might just want to out a bigger rear Sprocket.

First off, excellent tyre coat. I am contemplating the same, but not the dual color, but the standard KTM Orange or Repsol Orange. If anybody can help me with the notion of getting the KTM orange and or the Repsol orange coat or at least close from the local vendors or anywhere else that'd be real helpul.

Also those who have mixed two grades to get a more darker consistency, or any kind of homework will be appreciated.

Cheers!

I haven't bought any remaps yet, I was just testing that one...

He's getting some new remaps which will improve the low & the mid range as well..
And for what he says, they will be maddness...

As far as the price is concerned, they're not what you mentioned, I'm just a customer like you, so anybody going to Motozone should check prices for themselves... :thumbup:

And the ecu I tested was worth it for people who just want the bike to rev upto 12k rpm with its stock performance...

No, a bigger rear sprocket will increase acceleration and decrease top end... The bike will run at higher rpms than the stock...

Oh great! thanks bud

And he quoted 8k for me and few others so I mentioned that price figure. Did he quote anything else to you?

Hope the new ECUs he is getting are what he claims them to be. Do keep us posted if you get to test them. I will test them too if I get the chance.
