I'm only a 900 Dave, i guess when you have a 1000 posts or more you get to be the "1290" guy.

So you guys have wired in the adapter harness and just plug the C-tek in without lifting the seat etc

yip, 3 bikes wired up.

C Tec here also, i charge all my bikes using the same charger, just switch it from bike to bike.

Should be an awesome trip DaveW, I've been to the Moto GP on at least 5 occasions, last few times we hired a fancy camper, stayed the 3 days at the track, then toured to Adelaide via the Great Ocean Road, watch our for those cops, Kiwi's get double the fines, they hate us i tell ya, but if you don't...

Yes, here in the states, we have 10 percent ethanol in our fuel. I try to avoid it. Never heard about the fuel filter going bad that quickly, I'll have to check it. I had the fuel line issue and master cylinder issue fixed under recall.. I started with carbureted bikes! I know what you're saying lo...

GT1290?? they are a very good handling motorcycle, the Semi active suspension is very good, but not brilliant, there is room for improvement on the first (2016) GTs, a little more rear rebound dampning would go along way to improving it, but over all, a great handling motorcycle. (in sport mode )

I wouldn't worry too much about the red pipe, sitting there, theres no cooling breeze on the pipes. i have the CAT removed, SAS removed, and the Servo removed, Rottweiler O2 sensor dongles fitted, Rottweiler STG 2 SAS removal kit, and the Healtec dongle, Remus link pipe and muffler, i haven't seen m...

In stead of paying the big bucks to up grade to the 2019 model, i used the same amount of cost $s difference to buy a 2016 MV Rivale..........its putting a big smile on my dial. it was a 59th birthday present to myself.

Sometimes i just pull the clutch in and change gear, that way its a smoother disengage, if your using your brake to disengage the cruise control, then your passenger will head but you as theres no throttle, just engine braking.

^^^^Couch Potato.............was great viewing day in front of the box, Rugby, V8's racing Bathurst, and the GP, and also Formula 1. i did venture out into the ultra violet for awhile.

I asked this question on SuperDuke.Net, and got no replies. I think it tricks the airbox temperature sensor in thinking the air temp is cooler, causing the ecu to up the fueling ratio. Ive heard of mixed results on guys posting on other makes of bikes. You could be our tester.

Ill be watching Bathurst Dave, with 2 kiwi boys up front in the points championship, this race will probably determine the winner. Hoping for Shell Ford win. Just watching the ABs verse the South Africans, great game so far, very nerve racking.

I see its 143 HP at 8500 revs, the GT revs to 10,000 but would peak around 9500, so still a few more HP there. My ex 1290R with mapping and link pipe and Acra dynoed to 164, the GT feels a good 10 HP less, so my thoughts are its around 150hp at 9500 revs.

^^ Glad you 2 invalids are on the mend. 6 weeks back a good riding mate of mine got told he had Pancreatic cancer, but operable. Well they opened him up then closed him up just as quick. Unfortunately he was riddled with C, I led about 25-30 bikes behind the Hearse last Thursday, some guys did stand...

1000kms so far on the PR5s, and I'm sold on them, even on a touring GT you can run them to the edge with confidence, love them so far.

Ive brought a few bikes Dave with out a test ride, i never test rode the GT, just ordered it, i also never test rode my V4Tuono, or a new Buell i brought years ago, oh i don't even think i test road my V11 in 2001. If i like the look i buy it, and i never complain. somethimes there are no demo bikes...

Dave i woud say its. Slightly more snatchy than before go figure? Im thinking of poss putting it on the dyno at the local dealer to see what its putting out and what tha af ratio is like OK, thats odd compared to what I'm getting. I know mine goes bloody well, as i ride often with 2 1290Rs, (a 2014...

You will notice the GT is much nicer down low in the rev's around town, especially sport mode, where i think the engine runs the nicest. Now that the bike has a little more juice % down low, id put some injected cleaner through the system every 2000kms or so, just to keep everything nice and clean, ...

Wish the factory would come out with a map for the GT like they did for the 1290R, that map made huge difference to the R, it turned Sport into an angry child.

DaveNZ Ride the GT. Your m8 will be smiling down at you and he would appreciate it .👍 🍻DaveW Im defiantly taking the GT, I've just finished washing it, will give it a polish tomorrow before the funeral. My mate that just died has a 690R SM, a 990 Super duke, and 2 weeks back he brought himself an 8...
