Popular Post Aleksandar13 Posted March 21, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted March 21, 2021 Hi All, I am fairly new to the forum, been around on the T700 one and I thought I join this one as well as there is a lot of things to learn from people who have used the cp2 engine for years now. My bike is a 2019 tenere 700, which I've converted to a supermoto since 2k miles and have been riding and improving the bike since then... Most fun I've had on two wheels to be fair and I don't plant on selling but keep looking of ways to improve the bike.... Wheels : Excel Takasaga 5.0 and 3.0 inch with 160 60 and 120 70 tyres.... Front mt10 mudguard, front mt07 sprocket, I can't remember the size... Suspension : front and back upgraded springs. Brakes : stock for now... I am waiting for the Beringer calliper to arrive any day now, it has been 5 weeks... All the other parts to convert a single disc have been purchased. And I will do an abs pump bypass as well. Engine is stock apart from the end can and this is where I will be starting to look at once the brakes are fitted and I'm happy with them. Looking to do some intake mods thanks to @AP996 for his help into guiding me towards his solution for the intake. Once the engine breads better and the tuning has been done with software I will get some cams and headers. Plan for the engine is to have a healthy power band and around 80 85hp to the wheel. Things I have added that make the bike nicer to ride : 1 finger clutch from camel adv, healtech quickshifter which is addictive and makes so much sense coming out of turns... Different levers, rally seat for 910mm height.. Heated grips, shorter Sport screen... For me this bike is perfect as I am very tall 196cm and long legs so there isn't a lot of options out there that can be as comfortable and as nimble as the t7. Would like to reduce the weight of the bike to 180kg wet but that is a long term goal and it should be achievable with some nice titanium mods, battery and abs pump removal once a module comes a long like on the r6 or r1. I'll let the pictures do the talking. Aleks 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AP996 Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 Like the exhaust, I’d imagine that short can is fairly loud. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not that much as I run it with dB killer in... Without the dB very loud and I felt like the bike lost power in the midrange. It's very well made and light... Pipewerx make some cool exhaust and very well priced. Aleks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Joaoduarte Posted March 22, 2021 Share Posted March 22, 2021 Damm nice project! @Aleksandar13 Continue like that i did already some intake job on mine mt07 based a lot on the @AP996 work and help, although i went a different route, i shortened the intake tracts same size as @AP996. Did, but then for filtering i use DNA air filter and DNA lid, just because i didnt want to have my filtered exposed, because of the police in Portugal, and i really think that what really changes the power band is the intake tracts not the filter by itself. I saw that ny setup has less airflow than the airbox like hordpowers or @AP996 box, because with this setup and starting with the hordspower map on powercommander V, the autotune removes some fuel to attain the same 13.2AFR from 8500-10500 rpm. But i cant have the filter exposed ;-). I though of opening the airbox inside with a dremel and swapping the DNA airfilter abs lid with the ram air afilter Ramair MS-010, still testing and thinking. Also the increased size throttle bodies on stock head, iam thinking on it but not sure if its worth it without a change on head and cams. What do you think from your experience @AP996, is it a thing youre thinking of doing on this project @Aleksandar13? Great project 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great project I plan on getting the intake sorted on stock bore throttle bodies and then later get them bored out and get some cams done here in the UK. I think cams and throttle bodies will go in at the end of the season so I can have time to get them done and get some riding this summer. I'm currently waiting for the intake parts. @AP996 will be able to answer if it is worth doing the throttle bodies on stock head... But I think he already has head work done.

All the intake parts have arrived, pv3 on Monday... so hopefully we can get the parts on the bike during the Easter weekend.... Beringer should arrive in the UK on Monday as well... Fingers crossed.

Aleksandar13 Posted March 27, 2021 Author Share Posted March 27, 2021 I am unable to upload more but the stacks are here... The stock airbox is out, it weighs 1300grams... Which is nice... Less weight to carry around... Need to figure out the new stacks and @AP996will kindly help with the map for the Pv3. Aleks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar13 Posted March 28, 2021 Author Share Posted March 28, 2021 Bike starts better, feels smooth and has less engine braking, fans come in around 106 and there is less deceleration pop. Once you ride for a few miles you realise how good the fueling is in the low to mid range and how much more grunt it has...Once the ignition map was loaded the bike felt even more keen to pull and the front feels very light in 2nd and 3d with the occasional small lift over uneven surfaces... Engine is responsive and with the quickshifter it just pulls and sounds fantastic. Tested this on the home route where I can go a bit mad as I know it well and use it weekly.. The sound of the intake is absolutely addictive and it comes alive with full throttle and after 6k rpm... The way it pulls is so much better than stock not even worth comparing... At 7k there is a rush of power and it pulls hard up to 10k now, after 10k there is a slight dip and I think this is where the cat comes in place. Amazing how much more torque there is and it feels like a different engine. My riding needs to be readjusted to suit, I found myself braking harder and later as before because the bike was gaining more speed than I was expecting in the same amount of time on acceleration between corners. Really happy with the map that @AP996made, I thank him for the information and help provided. Without him this could have not been the first t7 with velocity stacks and filter. Next challenge to get the Beringer in place and lose more weight. And after that is done we can spend time thinking about the cams.

Aleks I felt exactly what you described about the feel with that intake the rush till 10k, i think to have the rush till rev limit, i think its only possible with shorter intake tracts or pod filters directly mounted. Good build ;&) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar13 Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 @bellissimoto thank you for all the support check the above review of the tune and the stacks... This is what came today... Thursday we start assembly of the front brake. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar13 Posted April 2, 2021 Author Share Posted April 2, 2021 Massive improvement over the stock brakes and lost 3kg of weight... Really happy with the outcome... Hard work yesterday to get everything sorted but it was worth it. Headers today and hopefully going out for a longer ride to test. Aleks 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar13 Posted April 4, 2021 Author Share Posted April 4, 2021 (edited) Spent another 3 hours playing with Gina... Brakes are awesome and due to the map and the brakes it allows me to do stupid things which I never thought were possible... Fantastic bike this has become... I've managed to snap a stud while attempting to change the exhaust headers so the bike is now with a shop and they will change the stud and put the headers on. I've also ordered a new end can from Lextek a longer one and road legal... Mine will be to loud for the shorty exhaust that I have. Good progress and very pleased with the outcome...

Aleksandar13 Posted April 11, 2021 Author Share Posted April 11, 2021 End can and New headers are on, @AP996thanks for all the support, has become a torque monster with awesome sound, I've adjusted the master cylinder to have more feel... Spend 2 hours today and it was great.. Aleks 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
