Hi all - first a note if anyone else made the AMA Suzuki Superbike Double-header at Road America and I missed talking to you - my appologies. There was a 06 yellow and a black T509 I saw that I never got to meet the owners - Had my eye open for other S3 riders though.... Think I saw a blue S3 headed south on HWY 57 Sun night - Corners were you up for the races?

Now the problem - For laughs and giggles I had my bike dyno'ed this weekend. It topped out at 95.4 HP, (top of 4 runs). Now I think the bike has more than enought power for me, but the dyno also measured fuel/air ratio and I found my bike was running quite rich, especially on the upper end of the RPM spectrum. It has a K&N filter and a Triumph hi-mount CF can. I had the Triumph MAP for the filter and can downloaded earlier this spring. How bad is running the bike rich? I assume if I lean it out a bit I can gather a few HP. What is the best way to lean it out a bit?? Open the airbox? New MAP? PC III or Tuneboy??

Thanks for the help!

Tuneboy and a professional dyno tuner to do a custom map. Otherwise, get a turbo or supercharger for a much better hp/$ ratio.
