I saw in an advert on the net for a BMW throttle Modulator. The guys who installed these on their bikes, are ranting and raving about the effects. So I had to try it out.
Costs about 40euros. 5 min installation. And voila, noticably smoother accelaration, no pinging anymore and 5% more fuel efficient. I don't have the link on my work computer but I will post some comments taken off the website tonite.
The Verdict.
It cost me R950 in total to get this unit and install it. Installation was the easy part.
I have a very sharper throttle response, especially at low revs. Not so noticeable at top speed, but it's there all right.
5% better fuel consumption, will be confirmed on full tank, but initial test indicates more or less 5%
I have also done BMC air filter mod, and removed CAT recently, before I installed this modulater.
I rode through traffic this morning. Accelaration is faster, and smoother across the whole range.
I will spend this money again, any day.
Here are couple of pics of the unit and where its installed on my bike.
