Welcome to the forum.


We ask that new members post a little intro about themselves and your post is a great example for why. It's really hard to give you much help or answers if we know absolutely nothing about you, which year your bike is, where you are (countries have differences), or what you are trying to get from the bike.


Blast away!

The exhaust headers are most restrictive, Arrow headers free up more power than anything else...

...coupled with an end can and a good dyno setup your looking at a significant 12+ BHP increase with a far more lively top end (and no loss at the bottom) ::008::

 

[mrpete64]

i agree with the comment...buy a KTM or...new BMW. A new sport bike would be nice. I think that 100 hp is...plenty!

I'm not sure we've ever had back-to-back dyno tests (before and after mods) that showed any significant peak horsepower gains with non-hard-part mods (e.g., ECU, exhaust, intake, etc.). Maybe better throttle response, maybe removal of lower-gear restrictions, but the top-end HP appears more/less baked into the basic design, particularly the fairly-low RPM ceiling. If you need more peak HP, probably the most economical way to get it is to trade for another bike.

The 14-15 models do have a modest bump that is perhaps a bit more than what Yamaha says. So if you've got a 12-13, I'd trade for a new one.

An ECU flash, Akra slipon, PCV and Arrow headers netted me about a 10 hp gain over stock. Much more grunt than the 2014 I rode back to back.

Apart from mine the ones I have posted a few times:

Also posted results from Dyno of CJS Mod and Arrow headers without any re-map - on my bike with stock end can it gave an instant 6BHP at the top end, but caused the low speed surge, I also posted the results of the ECU-U Flash Vs the Custom Flash from CJS Racing.


Bottom line is there is a fairly good amount of power to be release, 10BHP might not sound a lot, but it is over 10% and mine does now pull harder through the range and revs strongly beyond the redline.

But unless (like me) you really love this bike it may be easier to just buy a faster bike, even with the mods I have done I am still a bit down on the new GS and light years behind the Ducati MTS / KTM 1190 and BMW XR models.

I think the Triumph Explorer is probably a good balance, quicker than a modified S10, and looking pretty reliable (after initial issues on early bikes were resolved) / cheap to run compared to the more exotic offerings out there.

Sorry to disagree with you Rasher, but clearly spoken by a man that hasn't owned one! Every time I got off my Explorer I wanted to kick the pos and every time I get off my S10 I am amazed by how much I enjoy the bike. And I love triples.

You can get 1hp per 10 cc out of the s10 with out going in to the motor . Yamaha gave you most of the parts, you need to rearrange them and build some others , With what the after market has you can get about 100 and thats it . 1hp per 10 cc is very easy these days . Lets just say I build custom headers and intake to make it .

We have worked on making power from the beginning. We have extensive knowledge of what works on this bike, feel free to contact us anytime.

A friend with an LC GS had his bike dynoed on the same machine as mine. Our bikes were even in hp and basically torque (I had a slight advantage at around 3000 rpm). Then his took off above 6 and went on to make about 16hp more. But in real world riding I rarely exceed 5,000 rpm with this super torquey motor so it's a wash IMO. On the track maybe a different story but I didn't buy this bike to do track days.

A new 2013 Super Tenere will gain power and performance through 5,000 miles. Changing the 2013 Clutch Basket and Cam Chain Tensioner to the 2014+ Clutch Basket and Cam Chain Tensioner will make those miles more enjoyable.

Your Joking Right? ::025::

Try getting your ECU flashed (night and day effect).
IF pre 14 model get a 14 clutch basket, smooths things out.

I had avc reflash mine right after I bought it. I put 800 miles on it and got the flash. Night and day difference. It's the only performance mod I'll ever need or want.

He asked a legitimate question but it was not what he expected. O
Now he has gone.
