In Conjuction with Schlowy Customs, we have fitted the worlds first Acceleration Modulator to a KTM 990 Adventure (Bessie).
I asked my friend Cocky to be the test Pilot on his faithful Bessie to test the World's First AM, (Wrongly refered to as a Boosterplug) because I know he knows his bike from arse to tit, and some other parts as well. An improvement in the bikes' performance and handling will be well documented by the man himself. :hello:
As a lot of the WD forum by now knows, Carrots and Cocky (Rooies en Plooies
ot did a spectacular tour of South Africa and visited a lot of WD's on the way. They covered est 4330 km over 14 days, in a wide range of temperatures, altitudes and riding terrain. Over the entire trip, instead of relaxing and enjoying his trip, Cocky has been making notes about the performance of the newly installed Acceleration Modulator. :notworthy:
And in a Nutshell: IT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY!!! :hello2: :hello2: :hello2:
Here is a summary of the report as submitted to me by Cocky:

General Comments by Cocky.
Fuel Consumption:
I did not ride specifically to save fuel, yet my fuel consumption improved considerably. I was really amazed by the range I now got on the same bike. The riding conditions varied across terrain and weather conditions, and yet the fuel consumption remained a constant improvement throughout the trip.
On general handling:
My bike allready has aftermarket pipes and a 16t front sprocket. Therefore the acceleration improvement was little if any, because the bike allready accelerated aggresively before. The difference I did note was the bike wheelies easier. The throttle response was a lot sharper and switch over between gears was smoother. Especially when tapping down on fuel, a big difference was noted. The bike doesn't dip so hard when closing throttle, and this especially improved my riding on the technical terrain.
Now the big question Cocky: Would you spend our money on this device?v ???
Most definetly. :thumleft:
