More bottom end power required - Fazerjon - 30-08-12

My 2012 FZ1N feels like it needs more bottom end power. Dont get me wrong, it goes like s**t off a shovel, but still feels slightly bogged down from the lower end of the rev range.
Engine mods so far are: Mivv Titanium end can, K&N air filter and Ivans Fuel Cut Eliminator.
Is it worth getting it re-mapped, if so what do I need to do before hand if anything? Also how does the Power Commander work?
Any advice or info greatly appreciated! :rolleyes

Thanks for that, I had a gen 1, 3 years ago also Ivanised by Mike. It was a superb bike, although the Gen 2 handles loads better and looks more aggressive. The Gen 1 was more comfortable than the Gen 2. If I can get my Gen 2 to pick up a bit quicker from lower down in the rev range I'll be well happy. Smile

so it's a pc3, sub throttles and a yoshi pipe then.

Cheapest mod is one tooth less on the front sprocket, about £16 for a renthal, or 3 - 4 more on the rear £45 ish for a good one.

Surely a PC V now plus ignition module.

You can spend lots of money for very little gain, I have spoken to my mate who races an R1 in the Mallory series and his mechanic who owns a yamaha dealership, both say do nothing but the sprocket, because there are no low down gains to be had.
So my fix is ride it like a two stroke and dont let the revs drop, it doesnt seem to effect fual consumption that much.
Fit loads of stuff if you want braggin rights, pub talk or like to alter the looks, but not to gain low down grunt, ride it, enjoy it.

As i said below 6K revs not huge differences, how much did all the mods cost???

Im all for doing your own thing, and big power is available (its a sports bike with upright bars) but this guy wants low down torque n power so for me two choices buy a GSX1400 or never let the revs drop.. :lol change the spocket anyway..

Keep smiling..
