questions about gtr1400 from possible new owner

Mr Roadrider ... although I have moved to the dark side ( bought a BM ! ) I concur with all that has been said here.  I was very happy with my GTR until I rode a GS and had to change but I digress !
Just get one ... cartoon quick, stable, turbine smooth with lots of protection should you venture out in the rain and decent luggage that actually looks like it was made by the same people for that bike !!!
You will not regret it .. promise you.

Are ya gonna remap with the secondary butterflies removed?
They are what limits the low rpm torque in 1st to 4th.
The Shoodabeen flash opens them earlier for better low end torque.
If you just flash it for top end on the dyno yer gonna end up with even less low rpm torque.

When directed to this bike shop by members of the forum i asked them to map for low down torque ,please don,t get me wrong i know its never going to be as quick as my 12 r and thats why i kept it so i could have the best of both worlds .dont know if they can map both butterflies to open at the same time or how hard it is to remove them

Removing the secondary flies is a fairly straight forward job and makes a massive difference to low down torque and also bottom end acceleration, beware it will easily lift the front wheel if ridden enthusiastically in 1st to 4th gear once they are removed.
There are guides on here for removal but essentially, Accessed through the airbox, you'll see each fly attached with 2 x very small JIS screws, I'd recommend purchasing a small JIS screwdriver bit set, (search them on fleabay). Remove both screws and slide the fly out. Repeat 3 more times and you will have transformed the GTR into a warp factor rocketship.
