Alot of you have seen my dinosaur, the '08 Buell 1125R I have been riding since, well, before HD decided to rid themselves of sport bikes. Most have also seen and heeeeeard my abortion of a homemade exhaust and atleast Pete and Gino have heard the ridiculously loud open airbox I made.... Well, after trying a few tuning options made available to us, along came Power Commander with an option and I jumped on it. I went to Seacoast and Jesse for the custom tune.
Now, my experience with Seacoast until this point had been in the front store, mainly with Patricia buying both helmet and jackets and now a few Suit rentals (should really buy one....) Ok, Ok...
First tuning? didn't go so well, my airbox and exhaust completely destroyed all performance that could have come out of my bike. That said Jesse STILL found 15 HP by tuning it.
Now, after changing the airbox back to stock and buying an actual performance slipon for my bike I found I was in a spot. I had changed enough that my bike was now running improperly again....
Fast Forward to today, leaving for Jersey on Sunday and Jesse fit me in last minute with LITTLE, VERY LITTLE notice. Now, my initial HP a week or so ago was 95hp, and Jesse was able to find 15 more making it a whopppping 110hp. Today, with a stock airbox and Barker slipon exhaust Jesse made my day and most likely making my trip to Jersey so much sweeter.
Before:------------>Today:
110HP------------->126HP
22mpg-------------> after 100 quick miles so far averaging 38-40mpg
205-Coolant Temp->180-182
HOT Frame Temp-->Very COOL
Buzzy Bars--------->now Smooth as Silk
Hesitation---------->WOW, snappy and crisp
......If you see a pattern, there is.... my bike feels completely different....
I can't thank Jesse @ Seacoast enough for his work today, and Patricia for all her work keeping me coming in. First it was just gear, now I wouldn't hesitate using service too. Kudos to the entire Seacoast staff,
Thank You
