Will I need a power programmer in addition to the ECM reflash and what can I do to clean up the air intake? Once the bike is back together I'm going to make a KERKER replica slip on. Thanks for the info.

As far as I know the only intake modification that will change performance is opening the velocity stacks up. Powerdubs and a few others have done it.

I'm in middle of doing it but will have to wait to install it when I get a full exhaust.

ECU re-flash
Power Commander V
K&N Air filter. (not a "power" mod really)
Yoshimura full exhaust
Race-Tech forks
Ohlins shocks

The re-flash didn't really add power. It raises the rpm by 500 revs and provides power to those last 500, but I don't ride nearly that close to the limit. It also removes the "speed limiter" that tells the bike to throttle down when the ECU detects a specific mph.

The Power Commander was night and day difference! Huge difference. Completely changed the personality of the bike.

The TSR plate that goes on the airbox does indeed make a slight improvement at higher revs- very slight though.

I bought my CB1100 while I was working at a Honda dealer. There was a mobile tuner that would come to the store twice a year to tune bikes in a big trailer in the parking lot. I like what he was able to do.

A lot!

Did you have a custom tune or did you use 1 of the 3 maps power commander has on the site? This is the second time I've heard people saying they felt a big difference from the power commander but I did not so im thinking maybe I should try a different map?

I believe the previous person that stated this said they used the "Stock with yoshi slip on" map that was online.


I have almost all the same mods as you minus suspension and exhaust
