RE: Max BMW Tuning - 2

I've decided to forgo the PCV for the time being. There doesn't seem to be enough evidence of benefit for the price. My operating temps are around 180, so even if the bike is running a little lean, I'm not generating a ton of heat, and I don't have any complaints about the performance of the bike. Full throttle in first and second scare the shit out of me, and full throttle in third on public roads will send me to the jail or the graveyard pretty quickly. I really like the way the bike sounds with the headers and can, especially the good loud barks I get using the quick shifter. With the baffle in I feel like I'm making enough noise to get noticed, but not so much as to be annoying to other drivers. I suspect a professional tune of the ECU could have some benefit, but not at the cost and loss of use duration while the ECU was getting tuned, since I'd have the pull the ECU and ship it.

Another option would be the rapidbike evo which comes with an autotune included. You can also transfer this to future bikes, just need to buy a new wiring harness to suit.

I started on a GS500E, then a Bandit 1200 (120 rwhp after the mods the PO did), then an FJR1300, then Triumph Trophy SE, and now the R1200RS. I tend to use hyperbole a bit freely, but I'm also cautious. I don't want to test the ABS or traction control, and have found it VERY easy to double the speed limit through corners on the RS without realizing my speed. It is something I love about this bike, and cornering at speed is one of the biggest enjoyments I get from motorcycling.

Thinking about it, 5 bikes in 20 years means I chose pretty good bikes. I'd probably still be on the FJR, except the deal on the Triumph was too good to pass on, and the Triumph was totaled after a "lady" ran me over.

MAX BMW installed an Akrapovic cat-delete header and slip-on exhaust for me, and performance-tuned the ECU.
Quick turn-around, responsive communications.
The bike, which was already strong, is noticeably stronger. (Gas mileage went from ~44mpg to ~38mpg)
In response to the original post of this thread...I would definitely recommend MAX.
