VTwin Tuners in the UK
By: Blzeebub Date: March 2, 2021, 12:27 pm

Evening All,
It's been some time since i've swung by - not helped by
knackering my knee over 2 years ago & that still hasn't healed.
I finally picked up a full akra system for the Stage3 Patrick
bored out MT i picked up a while back and hopefully it will let
it release a little bit more. The current setup has the Remus
cans on the standard pipes and i plan to keep the Remus cans. It
also has a PCV (and Autotune but i plan to junk that) and my
dyno guy shut up shop are there any decent VTwin tuners worth
going to? I'm based in the South East of the UK but don't mind a
trip if we ever get out of lockdown.
Cheers
Nat

I’m not sure if Chris Steedman at CJS racing in Bristol is any
good with the MT, but apparently he’s the dogs danglies with the
XT1200 and by all accounts many other bikes as well. I’ve heard
stories of him having bikes on the dyno for 1/2 day before he’s
happy and still only charging a flat rate for a remap. I guess
he’s got to be worth a call

I used a chassis tuner in the midlands when I had my car set
up a while back - sometimes you really dont mind the schlep for
the right shop.
This is the guy I used to do my MT01. It was John that
persuaded me to junk the AT-300 in fact...
He also tuned my Aprilia RSV-R which was rebuilt and modded
significantly ( it pi55ed oil all over his dyno drum- I wasnt Mr
Popular ! ;D )

Track Electronics has tuned for TT racers and BSB, as well
everything in between. He knows what he's about, albeit not
local to Kent .....

Much appreciated fine fellows! Norfolk is not a million miles
away and even Bristol is doable. I've found a couple of options
nearby but i'm not so sure about their VTwin or MT skills.

Booked into Track Electronics for early April after a quick chat
with the local tuners left me with the impression that they
weren't the ones to do it! However, a quick chat with John and
it was quickly apparent that it where it needs to go!
Cheers Tim for the recommendation.

Saying that I'm thinking the turbo route to sort out the power
once and for all ;D does anyone remember who was the member with
the turbo and where did he got it done ???

It's still there at the moment...
First up the Ti headers didn't meet up with the Remus end cans
as hoped so the Remus end cans have gone to be replaced with the
complete S2 exhaust but keeping the Remus rear end plate mod.
Now to fill in the gaps...
Next up the TPS went bye bye. Thankfully i had anticipated this
and put a spare in the box of bits...
Next up, whilst chasing an electrical gremlin John noticed the
fuel pump housing was cracked and leaking air... Luckily a New
Old stock one popped up on fleabay and was sent over.
Once that was fitted... there was still a gremlin and it looks
like the PCV has a problem so that's been sent off to Dynojet
and waiting to hear back.
I always suspected this was going to be a bit of a 'fun' bike
but John has been great.
I'll keep you posted.

Jeez...sounds like you dumped him a project and ran !! Glad to
hear he didnt throw you out. He knows his business. Keep us
posted with a dynosheet when you're done mate..? Not sure what
your tune is but it'd be interesting to see the numbers...!

Apologies being late to the thread but I have a note of caution
(a bit late). Can't remember the guys name from the site but he
had Big CC in Wokingham add a turbo to his MT and whilst the
fitment looked good etc I did hear later that it was placed too
close to the exhaust outlets and never gave the performance
increase expected. This was a second hand conversation so might
just be someone bitching. There was also an Aussi guy on the
site who went turbo with apparently great results, his was
placed at the back of the frame upright below the seat tray and
looked really neat besides giving a longer header length.
