So... any reviews yet on DNA stage 2(3) filter?
 

I know a couple of you managed to buy these filters "elsewhere" but have you got them yet? and how they perform? come on spill the beans

I know a certain Mr. Skunkmoto just bought one today from us and the parcel will be posted to him in the morning so... 4 or 5 working days later he'll be a happy boy, but what about the rest of you's.

Who's got one already?

Well got my PowerCommander5 from SimonC on the forum, at a vgood price, so it's sitting in the kitchen doing nowt, though the fridge does seem a bit quicker.

Ordered the Stage 3 from Capn, most speedy service, and the others <cough> <shuffles feet> 'elsewhere'.

I'm hoping to get a Dyno Day sometime in the holidays so I can get all setup:

Stock
PCV and DNA Stage 1 & 2 (If anyone has a map for this on the Tenere?)
PCV and DNA Stage 1,2 and 3

There's only two Dynos up this way, so if they aren't open over the hols it'll be a seat of the pants Skunkbut dyno.

Now I'm just waiting for the postman to bring Christmas treats, so till then nothing to report, but I'll take some pics and writeup when things start happening.

Well my PC-V arrived in double quick time, again from Simon at a great price. Although it's not been powered up I understand it to have the Stage 2 maps pre-loaded.

Today, thanks to Fran and Dino, my Stage 2 filter and cover arrived so I'll be beavering away in the garage as soon as this week is finished and I can forget about work for a couple of weeks.

As I've not got the Stage 3 filter (yet) I'll only be able to give some layman's feedback on the Stage 2, PC-V and S2 (supplied) map.

Actually, I think it's about time I wrote something about the mods I've done over the last 18 months...

Here's what just arrived, thanks Fran and Dino, got everything.

Not just under the tree but beside the classic 70's telephone on the floor!!! Dont worry we've got one floating about my house as well. :dink:

Cheek, that's the cutting edge of technology rooond here tha naaas.

Right that's me off for the holidays.

Seasons greetings all.

Received the stg 3 from DNA, but will only be able to get around to test it next week. I will write a whole thing about it.

We will take Jon's XTZ back to stock to get a base run, then do a run with the stg 1 & 2 filter and then a last one for the stg 3 to show the difference.

Jon's bike currently runs a "stg 4" (self made DNA filter) for the right side of the airbox, so might show if there is more power to be had with more air.

Jon said that the stg 3 already made the Z feel more responsive and quicker, even though he already runs a side cover filter. Seems it will be a good one.

Hang in there, dyno runs to follow soon.

Hi all.

Sorry for a bit of bad news, but I am not going to be able to finish testing the stg 3 filter in the timeframe I have mentioned earlier.

Most of you might not know, but I was in a very serious bike accident. At the moment I am still in a wheel chair, but should be up and walking in the next month or so.

As a result of me not being able to walk, I was also not able to do the required dyno testing on the XTZ. Jon is also going on leave and will only be back towards the end of Jan 2010. I hope to be able to finish testing the filter as soon as he returns. I apologise again for the delay.

Some interesting feedback so far on the filter.

Jon is currently running the DNA stg1 and 2 filter mods. Jon also used a DNA stg 2 filter from an XTX which he modified with an adaptor plate to mount to the right hand side of the XTZ's airbox. It made a big difference in the power output.

When I received the DNA stg 3 filter from Dino, I gave it to Jon to test. He mounted it and took the bike for a quick ride. He claims it woke the bike up even more. For testing purposes, he removed his home made filter cover and he claims there was no real loos in power with the extra filter. He now only runs the DNA stg 1,2 and 3 and is more than happy with the way the bike is running.

Hope you heal soon mate, when you told me what you had done, I thought you are lucky to be alive with all those serious injuries.

I hope you recover soon, I'm still walking with the help of a crutch since my accident back in mid september :(, be patient.

have fun,

j.

Had an hour on the bike with the stage 1 filter and snorkel replaced with the DNA cover, running a PCV map supplied by SimonC, all results taken on my seat of the pants dynomometer.

Instead of going wwwwuuuuurRRRRRGGGHHH<gear> now goes bbAAARP<gear>. Think Korma to Roghan Josh.

I've always thought the power delivery was fairly linear before and would build, build, build in a slow/lazy/predictable way and you can still chug along below 4000 power is much the same as before.

Above this and the bike revs faster and there's a noticeable step at 4500ish, nowt two stroke explosive, but a definite kick that continues and surges you forward till ya run out of revs, keep it in the power above 5000 and you soon run out of gears, kept looking for sixth but there just isn't another cog in there.

I've done pipes and carb rejets (ten is my first FI bike) on thumpers before, but this is by far the biggest difference I've seen and was quite surprised at the difference it made. Not the full vindaloo but the bike has livened up. You could easily run higher gearing, up a tooth on the front and still get the pep with a bit longer legs. Off road provieded you have the traction it probably help lighten the front end

There is more vibes at 4-5000, anyone else noticed this? Maybe the map needs tweaking though not sure if this would make any difference.

Can't say what its done to the fuel consumption till I get more miles done.

Thumbs up so far, recommended.

Glad you like the results. I thought you got a stage 3 side filter.

I think every XT660 should go like this from the factory, it would be very easy for them to do it.

The dog ate it.:Mandy:

Kev would the vibes be improved by tweaking the map to suit my bike??

The dog ate it.:Mandy:WHAT!!!
It might.

Only just noticed this, bad luck matey...hope you're all healed up now :thumbsup:
