Just did my valve clearance check and everything was in spec. Throttle body was extremely clean and the plugs looked perfect. I made sure the decomp weights were tight too.
Also installed a pcv with rottweilers map. Low end is extremely smooth now.

How's the butt dyno evaluation of the PCV + Rott map? I've been debating the cost. Swapped in a 15T front sprocket but still feels like it has a hole in the midrange.

The biggest thing I noticed is the bottom end feels a lot smoother. It doesn't feel like there's that much more power to be honest. It appears to make power all the way through the revs and I think I hit 100 faster than before. It's kind of idling a little off I think, it's very lopey almost like it has a big cam. I might try to run a map off of the power commander site.

Thanks. Do you have the Rott intake as well? Or just their map for stock airbox + open exhaust? I did the whole setup on my 1190r because it had a shit airbox design, and my fuel consumption really went up after I added the PCV and their map. I went from high 40s with just the Rott intake to high 30s after I added the PCV + map.

The only airbox box mod I have is throwing a KTM Evo Lid on it and I don't think it really makes too much of a difference. I had a stage 3 rott intake on my 1290 SDR and I guess that was nice but I didn't have a PCV. I do expect my mpg to drop, before the PCV I could hit about 160 miles on a tank maybe even 170. We'll see what I get on my next tank.
 
Anyone that installed a PCV, did your idle turn all lopey. Mine sounds like it has an aggressive cam now but it rides perfectly fine.

no

did you by chance criss cross the plug wires? Donno if that'll do what you're saying it's doing but iirc they do not fire at the same time so make sure they're on the correct plug.

Try a different map if that's not it and see if it clears up.

I did that for a little while but honestly think the 16 is way more rounded for street stuff. If you're on a sumo track the lower gear may be beneficial but honestly the bikes kinda a pig for anything really tight anyways so i just don't see the benefit. Maybe if you like to cruise between gears or something it'll fix that for you but i never had that issue.

Also, i know i sound like a broken record but i don't think the pcv was worth the cost. Fuel dongle and call it good.
 
I came back to this thread after a few years..

Still got my 690, but collecting dust nowadays:(

Anyone have a recommendation for a tail tuck kit for a 2018 701? preferably with the plate light built in / mounted and with room for the turn signals.
