748R Questions
 

I have just upgraded from a 98 748 BP to a 2001 748R "non ohlins" and was wondering if the power commander I have fitted to my old bike will work on the R…?

Also on my old bike I removed the mesh that covered the air vents and replaced the original air filters with an under tank air filter. Can I do the same to the R…? if so which air filter would people recommend…?

Do all 748R’s have a 50mm exhaust system or is it a 45-50mm half system or all 45mm…?

It's all 45mm. If you're not doing anything funky to the heads or throttle bodies, a 50mm half-system is the way to go.

If its the pc3 then it will swop over but you will have to remap it for the R, and i use a no toil undertank filter on mine which works well, there is actually one on ebay! but removing the mesh will let all sorts of shite in and will just collect on top of the filter!

have run non-toil filter and removed the mesh, I would recomend not to remove the mesh.

(I live in Norway, maybe the roads are better in the UK)

with the mesh removed, some smal stone has shoot through
the nontoil filter, down the throtleboys, result
2 rockers, 1 cam , 1 broken vale, one bent valve, 2 valve guides destroyed.

Dont recomend removing of the mesh.:(

Got my 748R yesterday and the fuelling is auful. Everytime you come upto traffic lights it just stalls, you start it again and try and pull away and you have to rev the nuts of it otherwise it just seems to die so you open the throtle and then it takes off. It has a 50mm half system on it not sure if the chip has been changed. I got a pc from my old bike which i'm going to fit. Anyone got any other suggestions on how to sort it...?

Get someone to sort it properly - like Pro-Twins. Forget the half-measures because it will be worth it in the end.

hi there is it after a quick run and then stops a the lights ??
if it is its a problem a lot of the r's have as the exces fuel sits on the butterflys when there closed causing it to stall
try getting the fueling dialed in but just keep it reaving a little at a standstill
hope this helps a little
thanks

You need a ultimap chip from pro twins in godstone

They all do that sir.................

Protwins you must be joking! i'm never going there again twice I have been insulted by sales guy there and there is no way I will make the same mistake again.
