I have 2 Gen 2 XRs One with Brentune one not do you have any questions?

[ROKIN]

I am in a lucky situation where I and my father both purchased 2020XRs, Mine has the brentune stage 1 with a full exhaust. While his bike has a full exhaust but no tune. I was wondering if anyone had any questions or things they wanted to know. I'm thinking about making a video on it and would like to make a list of things to question and test. I will also eventually get stage 2 so I can compare all 3 as well.

Just a few for starters...

1. The fast idle at startup
2. Flat spot between 4k-6k
3. Low speed fueling when going though town.
4. Gas Mileage

how loud is the bike with the full exhaust compared to stock?
how much faster is the bike with brentune?
how much better is the quick shifter post brentune?
does the bike run cooler with the brentune?

I know most of these answers, just went stage II

Interested in the low speed/rev fueling. Any improvements?
Did the throttle response go from non existent to hold on to your boys?
Any downside over the stock bike?

I usually don't like it, but for some reason, it really doesn't bother me.  It reminds me this is one Bad A$$ bike!

Not for me... Spending 5-6 hours a day on the Gen 2 XR Sports Touring "Loud Backfiring" gets old real quick. Not only to me but, also to everyone around me in our mountain riding group.

I agree about annoying others but I generally like to pick up the tail anyway, when not, i'm too far ahead to bother others haha, but I personally didn't mind it on a 400+ mile day to wales, even with a full system lol, each to their own I guess

Just curious and off topic, but do you like your XR or Super Duke better?   Ever have a GS?
