One possible explanation could be that some folks have read about the RS and assumed that it was set up the same (regarding the engine) as the EX. I mean, I don't care that much since I'm not in the least bit interested in getting rid of my 2013 ABS, but it might be worth doing some research.
What cracks me up about all of this is that we should have the answer about he timing instantaneously...and yet no one seems to be able to find out the timing on each version of the bike so as to prove things one way or another. Shouldn't that information be in a manual someplace?
Cams are the same, valves are the same, displacement is the same- because all the parts are the same. I compared the parts breakdown a year ago.
Even the intake velocity stacks and the throttle bodies are the same.
There is no difference to the engine whatsoever.
The only ‘inlet’ difference is the outer horn that attaches to the air box. (Same part that gets removed for the tsr flange)
So that, different mufflers, and *maybe* different ecu tuning is all there is.
Seeing how ign timing is tied to cam timing it won’t change the sound of the engine’s character.
Hell of a placebo effect eh?
Some of the posts on here regarding the ‘17 are interesting.....
