Interesting. Mike did mine many years ago. The 'full monty' wasn't yet available so I got the then 'slip on' Ivan kit. Mike did the job (really quick too!) and I took it for a spin. The difference was immediately apparent. First thing was the difference on opening the throttle wide at 2000rpm, it pulled, then a nice big lump of torque at 2500rpm where there was little or nothing before. Then there was a noticeable lump of extra keenness above 8000rpm. And throttle response just felt all round a bit tighter.
But best of all was to come. One thing that irritated me about the bike was riding through 30 and 40 mph zones. I had to drop to 4th because of the annoying surging at constant speed small throttle openings (does that make sense) plus vibration. Now I could potter through towns at 30mph in 6th gear, plus overall vibration was much reduced on the bike.
I was well happy.
I've never stuck it on a dyno.
Oh aye, servicing? Make sure your air filter is nice and clean. Yes check C&S. EXUP should be serviced at least once a year.
Wondering if you had the bike long before you got it Ivanised.
