Love that you're having so much fun on this bike. A delight to hear!

[nickrider]

Sounds like an aero engine in a bike it !! Too fast for feet forward now though 😮

[JimJuno]

I remapped mine too and it's NUTS. Your remap however did raise the redline and remove the limiter. Sounds like the cherry on top! 🥳

[skdk]

As always a very professional video from you guys🤝🏼

[olik.]

Regarding the headshake you noticed, my GT never showed this behavior, it doesn't wobble at all. What I saw in the video, the front tyre doesn't seem to be the original Avon Cobra Chrome, maybe that's the reason. I use the factory front shock adjustment with the original Avon tyre and, as I mentioned before, never had issues with headshaking.

[RadDadisRad]

What a great video. That engine is bigger than most mid size and smaller base model engines.

[leonardchevvy]

you need to sort that headshake out, I have the same bike but the R model and mine is smooth and confidence inspiring all the way thru to 275 kmh!

[giantslug]

It's nice to see some work on more cruiser type bikes. Everyone tunes sport bikes, but you don't see too many cruiser tuning videos. That wobble is a bit concerning and doesn't seem normal. I do 140 pulls on mine with no noticable wobble, fortunately.

[joeweitman]

Finally the performance this bike should have. Would like to see the difference in 0-60 and quarter mile times on this tuned Rocket.

[Honda_Hooligan]

Being a British bike it seems appropriate that it sounds like a WWll Spitfire!

[iangoodwin]

Never had the head shake on my 2020 GT. Did move the pegs and add the Werks exhaust. The changes you made make sense to me. Top speed should have been put at 180 and a little more power in the gears because there is plenty available. I never put the quick shifter on but everyone says that is a big improvement when accelerating. How do you find a reputable shop to make the same changes? I live in Virginia.

[dodoz]

6:55 Sounds like Jake brake. Such a unique bike.

[ylt]

Didn't see that ammo canister on the side first time I watched the video. Love it. How did you mount that? Will definitely be getting your tune after I put in a couple more miles on mine

[CABLEUNION]

Nice video. It's so nice the explanation and numbers, that I was thinking all time how to change rpm in my Rocket.
Have you tested times at a drag race? Many of us are so interested in those numbers...
I think that those new numbers make a difference in quarter mile.

[JustAnotherLuke]

As a street maintenance worker... You probably made those maintenance guys day passing them the way you did TWICE 😂

[markettradinggenius]

BT Moto, I wonder if there is a way to raise the foot pegs another 1" on the rocket 3R for more lean angle advantage? Hmmm....

[joelaichner]

Does She have a Name ? My Victory Sport Cruiser, Stage 4, Kandy Paint, I call her the SWEETNESS ! 112 hp, 118 ftlb of torque, on the dyno, I like being able to change the tune depending on fuel

[dapperstuff]

wonderful video. are the 3 throttle tables attached to the rider modes, or attaches to gear groups (1&2 3&4 5/6)? what is the new rpm limi you set for this bike? 7400? thanks for the feedback

Great job, how that should have come out of factory 😎 Roadster version way more chuckable, peg height adjustable, loved mine 🤙 never had any head shake on the flatter bars, used to bang my limiter with no tail off, full throttle quick shifter made such a huge difference, maybe the Werkes without map to blame. Have you mapped the CB1100?
