I finally ordered the Upmap for my V7 Centenario. I know I’m going to buy slip-ons and modify the air filter but spending $500 and smoothing the stock fueling while I’m saving my pennies for the other parts is a low tech installment plan! I’m looking forward to getting the surging addressed.

This will be a very interesting thread.. soon!!!!

Today Todd did a few pulls on the Dyno with my 2022 V7 850 Special.
Original exhaust, original Airbox .
Modifications done before are SAS delete, canister delete and gas tank vented to the atmosphere. Also installed V85 Valve covers because I just like them better...
Anything else on the engine was stock!
Established baseline.....
Who wants to guess...

No modifications at all
perfect fit

I love the look... less black more mechanical....
Agreed. I have the Centenario and love the colour but find myself wishing there were more chrome finishes on the lower half and had dual clocks. Personal preference I guess.
Also keeping an eye out on how the performance mods go for you. I have Agostini pipes, SAS block offs, DNA filter and the ECU remap so I’m definitely interested in seeing what more Todd can squeeze out of our V7’s!

Todd and this team are amazing!
Nothing escapes them! Attention to detail!
I’m so glad they’re only one hour away from me!

What was your baseline?

De-black the exhaust headers, add the special Chrome heat shield and Todd's instrument centering bracket and it looks greater.

hard to say since I haven’t been able to test it out and get some numbers. The most I can say about it is based on feel and it’s pretty much in line with what everyone whose done similar has said. Smoother ride that pulls hard throughout the rev range.
Oh yeah, I’ve seen your posts over in the mods thread (always cool seeing the different ways people make the bike their own) and the headers do give it a different look for sure. I just centered and lowered my instrument cluster recently as well and it definitely does look better too.
I snapped a similar pic once we popped the mufflers and side covers on. Baseline (stock bike) pull gave ~51.8 hp on a 1300 mile motor. Didn't get to dyno the slip-ons yet. I’ll be posting as we go. @lemans850i is crazy in the best of ways. Appreciate the opportunity to do the R&D on this fun journey.
As a point to document here, the E5 models have two cats per cylinder, one in the headers and one in the muffler, so four (4!) total.

That's the trouble with cats. They just keep multiplying!
Next year it will be three to a side.

Guys, any thoughts on velocity stack? Mistral claims extra 1HP at 3.7K rpms and up to 3.5 extra ponies with better filter...
Todd, would it be worth for ya to develop something like this? Or the (claimed) gains not worth the hassle?

Heh… I love these “claims.” 1 HP?!? Show me the graphs. 3.5 extra with better filter, which you’ll likely get with the filter alone.
This is the exact thing I get accused of, yet people will purchase blindly and believe the hype.
I show massive dyno-proven gains with my products, and crickets.
We can develop and 3D print one to test if there is enough interest here. Aluminum for this part, that will never be seen, isn’t cost effective. I’ll be watching.
My five cents: We have about 18 inches per cylinder of 38mm intake tube ... Not to mention the Y split, fuel injection that squirts the fuel on to the intake valve (The air in the intake does not have to carry the fuel like on the carbureted engine) , emission dictated reduced overlap cam shaft.... can’t push unburned fuel into the exhaust!..
we are waiting for the V 85 cam and then degree both cams ...there’s no information provided anywhere!
I don’t think modifying the hole in the airbox with a velocity stack would do anything..
Reducing the restriction of the air filter - yes!
Maybe somebody can prove me wrong with Dyno numbers.. which would be great!
