V-MOD SLIP-ON
Unleash the Thunder!
The NEW V-Mod 1125R Slip On.
Weighing 9lbs, this Stainless 304 slip on has a great sound with a free flowing 2.5″ Perf-core. Tucked up tight for maximum ground clearance.
A FI Tuner is being finalized and will be sold separately.
Testing continues and the pipe is due for release in time for Daytona 08.
Dyno charts and sound bytes to follow next week.

It’s a Narrow Band!
ITS A NARROW BAND.
The 1125 has the well know DDFI-III with dual O2 sensors. Many Bike manufacturers are using this style of “Close-Open” system for the tricky business of EPA certification. Being that the EPA tests in a small RPM range, and at part throttle, the OE’ only have to meet their stringent specs at this relatively small section of the MAP.
The rest is a STD ALPHA-N [ Throttle Position-RPM ] fuel control.
The word on the street is that the Daytona Twin Tech “Twin Tuner” is going to work for this area of the MAP. The Close area is going to be another “bucket of worms” The current A/F [ Air – Fuel Ratio ] is a quite lean 15.1-1. I’m sure as more units get out, that idle/surge problems will come to light. Its just so close that any loose clamp, bad fuel and cam timing fluctuation will show its ugly head. There is talk of changing the desired A/F with the base flash. I have not seen a system or program for this yet, but I’m sure one will pop up.
We will be testing several systems shortly and with the advent of the new slip on, non too soon!
1125R WHAT CLASS??
Being a NEW model, pushing the CC limit and having a lot of rear wheel power, what is a RACER to do? With an almost obvious thumbing at the class structure and normal engine displacements, the 1125R looks like a warrior without a war.
In the Pro Road Race ranks, both www.amaproracing.com & www.worldsbk.com
do not seem to have an obvious class. Though it looks good for MotoST with the Horsepower limiting Throttle Body Solanoid.
Will the bike have the steam to run formula extreme? We know it will handle and stop, does it have the power? The ASRA and CCS look to have places for the Pro and Expert along with Amateur classes.
Drag Racing? Time will tell <G> Its quick, but short. How will the clutch react to Drag Racing.
Any joy here?
It’s going to be interesting!
