I havent really done any performance mods to my bike in a while. All i have right now is the slips, mwr air filter, and the 41 sprocket 520 pitch. the slips were done last year and the mwr say end of june some time. I dont know if the mods did anything except for the sprocket. I thought the slips did a little and the filter did a little but that could be my mind playing games because of the sound and i never really documented anything.

Here is the thing though. on top of whatever i gained on the mods, on my most recent rides my bike seems a lot FASTER than its been. I do not have tons of miles on it lets say 4000.

Has anyone else noticed this?
 
Motor is probably loosening up nicely. Or you are simply getting more comfortable on the bike... or both.
 
Colder air equals higher density. More oxygen means more power.
 
I have to agree, the more miles the better the motor for sure..I have 5.5 K on mine now, slips upmap and MWR I have not done the gearing yet but I will!...... I actually got into trouble in the other forum for slating the performance of the Panni at 1100 Kilometers, after the first service compared to my S1000RR I sold for the 1199...!I wont amke that mistake again..

The motor is so strong on my 1199 S now its just a beast on the road but a riot on the track...which is where its will spend the rest of its life... biggest improvemnet for me was the Upmap...I can say that with some conviction and evidence, as I put the stock pipes back on but left the Upmap loaded I honestly can say I did not feel the benifit of the slips? the first four gears WOT are just breathtaking even compared to the HP4 Comp I rode just recently?..:eek:
