New 700XX mod information wanted

Hey, Just got out of the dealer with my 700XX. Looking to purchase full exhaust & programmer, what would you guys recommend for make & models & what other mods should I be looking for first.

*Sigh* Another person to envy...

Anyways, welcome to the site. I believe Power Commander has the best programmer out right now for the XX. Alba just released a full exhaust system that is supposed to be pretty awesome. Haven't seen a price or anything on it yet. HMF also has some nice systems for the XX. I really like the Yoshimura RS-2, but they only have a slip-on. As far as other mods go new tires, air filter and a 13t front sprocket should set you up nicely.

UNI Airfilter
EHS Lid
Power Commander 5 (I have a PC3, works just as good)
Alba full exhaust
13t Sprocket
Nerfs (everyone says stay away from pro armor, I have Honda Racing, only thing I wish they were black)

I agree with nerf bars. Can't count how many times I have lost footing only to find a nice webbing to catch my foot. The AC Racing and PRM ones are supposed to be pretty good, too.

I'm not a fan of the AC ones, they' dont follow the lines of the bike very well. The PRM "floorboards" look pretty cool though. I might pick some of those up. I was going to do Pro Armor, even though everyone says not to, but I HEARD the Honda Racing ones were made by them, and if that's the case it won't solve the problem I have. 23" tall Front tires rub - alot

I never actually seen the Black Line Pro Peg Nerfs on an XX. I was thinking they'd look pretty good. You know of any pictures of them?

 

[5W0P3]

There are pics on ebay of them, but this is a member here. These are not the ones with the heel guards so these are fine, they look like my Honda Racing ones, but maybe a little bit shorter.

Thanks you guy's for the good info. I was thinking of going FMF with a full exhaust & programmer but I see that everyone uses a PC but I'm scared that I won't be able to set it right. I had a PC on my TL100S & had lot's of trouble tuning it right. Also just wondering what's not good about pro armour nerf's? Do they not fit right?

I have a full FMF with the PowerCore4 and am satisfied with it, There are maps available on this site for both the PCIII & PCV. If your budget allows get the PowerCommander.

Get a Power Commander V with the Auto Tune and it will always be set.

People were having fitment problems and bolt holes not being large enough and bolts not being long enough.

+1 on the PC V

 

[Joe honda #1]

Does anybody have any pro armour on right now? Are they that bad to fit?

 

[XCalibur]

I recently purchased some pro armors and to be honest I like them and pretty simple to install, one thing I recommend is to have somebody to help you to make the install easy.

 

[VelociRaptor]

PCIII, Im not sold on the V yet.

 

[atleastitsnotaford]

Ok, so what's the difference between the 08 and 09 models? According to powercomanders website the pcIII is only avail for the 08 and the pcV is only avail for 09............... i didnt' think there were any design changes on this bike yet?

 

[smo0oth1]

Dunno why they only list it for the 09, I have an 08 and it plugged right up.

 

[OzLinc]

DynoJet tested the PCV on an '09 so thats the only model it has been approved for.

I'm with VelociRaptor on the PCV.......not entirely convinced yet although I am coming around. I will never use it to "Autotune" after making engine mods.

What I do like with the PCV is that I would only use the "Autotune" module after doing a complete dyno tune. What I am hoping to acheive is that as my filter gets clogged up and conditions change my PCV will adjust to suit. This way I will not be running rich, should get better fuel ecconomy and be running close to max performance at all times.

 

[smo0oth1]

The PCV is great, Its not a totally new design so if you liked the PCIII you'll love the PCV. Its simply a PCIII with a few more fuel steps and ports to add all kinda electronic goodies. Its also allot smaller.

 

[atleastitsnotaford]

So the PC3 will work on 08 and 09, and the PC5 will work on 08 and 09?

 

[smo0oth1]

Correct
