An air filter will make things worse if not fueled properly. But you should do both at the same time imo |

Hello..............here is the graph
DB9 before_after by Gavin Robertson, on Flickr
As you can see the graph shows an increase over the standard issue DB9
The standard Diavel kicks out 162 hp according to the factory... which is 129 bhp on the X Bikes dyno (obviously horses in Peterborough are bigger than in Bologna)
So...in real terms the Bimota Walbro ecu and standard DB9 settings are about 1 hp up on the red bikes down the road
More importantly is the change in graph shape ....where I use the bike.
I very rarely push above 8500- 9000 rpm being somewhat mechanically sympathetic......... coupled to scaring easily.
Final figures were achieved using a K&N filter and no cat, however, since then I have added a Arrow Titanium exhaust and reset all setting, as well as wearing tighter trousers.
I hope that this helps
regards

arsenic and Gavin,
Thanks both for your suggestions and info. At least now when I get a dyno run on my bike Ive got something to compare it with!
Will let you know how the fueling issues go.
cheers again

Richtea,
How are you getting on with the DB9?
Is all good and are you enjoying Bimota ownership
Or are you still using plastic cutlery
Regards

Richtea,
That friend (and I use that term loosely) is still very serious about DB9S.
But needs one or two issues answered to put his mind at rest prior to parting with the monies......mainly with regards to the SUSPENSSSSSION
If you get a chance, please email or PM
many thanks

Hi Gavin,
Sorry it’s been a while since I was last on here,and sorry in such a slow response to your question!
Yes,I’m loving the DB9s, it’s certainly got its querks,however,on the right roads,in the right frame of mind,when giving it 100% concentration,it’s an animal!
I can only describe it as ‘raw’....
The suspension is still firm,but manageable....on a smooth track,I think it would be demon! However,if I had the dosh,I think I’d get an Öhlins replacement for the rear,and tailor it as best as I could to the way I ride.
The fuelling is still a bugbear,not horrendous, but just on occasion ruins what would have been a smooth progressive line around a corner!
That said, it brings a smile to my face every time I look at it, and start it up!
Not a bike to be ridden at less than 100% effort!
Cheers |
