Bikes using detuned sportbike engines?
Some bikes use detuned sportbike engines. For example
1)The FJR1300 uses a detuned R1 engine
2)Street triple uses a detuned daytona engine
3)Honda Phantom TA150, a 2 stroke cruiser uses a detuned NSR150 engine
Is it possible to 'retune' these engines so that it churns out the same level of power & performance of the original sportbike? Or is it too elaborate a job involving more then just tuning - changing ECUs, CDIs, remapping, sprockets etc
Sorry if its a dumb question
It can be done - but it's better just to buy a sportbike.
The FJR1300 uses a detuned R1 engine - no it does not

- Why do motorcycle engines have a random displacment? The ninja 250 was technically 248cc. The Honda cbr300 is 286cc. There are plently of other examples too. I've never seen a bike whose engine is actually what they advertise
