Booster Vs Kev mod
 
I've got a booster plug fitted to my Triumph Tiger 1050, works a treat and changed the bike for the best. No more lumpy behaviour low in the rev range, or snatch you throttle response.
Last week I fitted the Kev mod to my tenere along with stage three air filters and removal of cat from stock exhaust. WOW, what a difference. Much more responsive and far smoother.

In summary, both options have worked well for me. The difference would seem to be in the packaging of the electronics and the price. The Kev mod is also adjustable whereas the booster plug isn't.

Yer pays yer money, yer takes yer choice !

I have one fitted to my XT660 at the moment, works wonders but the bike really stinks of fumes and blipping the throttle doesn't work anymore. Might be better with a stage 2 filter.

Mines running twin bigbore cans with stage 1 and no snorkle and still rich as hell with the booster plug. Its a 2005 so a rough ride no matter what you do lol

That's stage 2.

Stage 1 is the filter replacement
Stage 2 is the snorkel cover replacement / removal
Stage 3 is the air box replacement

Almost right.

Stage 1 ( Filter )
Stage 1 + desnorkle ( removing snorkle in filter )
Stage 2 ( Filter and side cover filter )
Stage 3 ( full airbox replacement )

Thread moved to more appropriate section as it didn't have anything to do with bike meetings and events.

Actually you are both right! ;)

WeaveMcQuilt you're spot on regards the Tenere and fr499y, you're spot on regarding the X and R. The confusion has arisen because the DNA numbering system is different for the Z and X/R models.

I've ordered a stage 2 filter so will be interesting to see how it runs with the boosterplug regarding the richness at bottom end :) I will report back as soon as it arrives.
