    Finally found time to get the bike on Dragon motorcycle’s Dino now are Team Valley Trading Estate
    With the camshaft x pipe Remus cans and dna air filter Ting Tong managed just short of 90 bhp at the back wheel
    Nice spread of power and a pretty flat torque curve so well please

    The old adage that nothing beats cubes for hp is only the part of it... a nice bit of targeted respiration work sounds like you’ve increased your useable power... hows it fit in with your gearing. Are they all a bit short now? Good job!

    Ting Tong turns T-Rex... bang a gong!!!

    Great result, and a fair compromise to dropping a wad of cash on a new Speed Twin. I now have something to think about. Mod a T120 or go into massive debt for new bike .

    Mods are more fun. Wolf in sheep's clothing.

    I thought this was going to be a feature about an epic ride to a natural history museum. So disappointing.

    Im just having my T120 Dyno'd after an xpipe and BC Predator can install - so far achieved 82hp loads more torque and smooth delivery without an air filter fitted will probably go K&N on that front. I am wondering whether the cam shaft mod is next (perhaps after warranty runs out) - but is it worth circa £600 for an extra 10hp. Thoughts appreciated.

    Well all done now and I have just managed a sneak ride in between showers, it feels awesome, smoother power delivery across the gears and much more grunt...... here is my chart.... just shy of 83hp and just over 83ftlbs this was with a K&N filter.

    Hey John T, impressive results. Have just got a T120 and just wondering how the Dragon guys are at Team Valley. Mixed reviews so thought it best to try and speak with someone who is known to have used them. Previously used a guy in Malton (top guy), but being from S.Shields, Team Valley much more convenient. Looking to get bike breathing/fueling correctly and lose snatch you throttle. X pipe fitted, further mods to follow. Cheers.

  15. Hi All,

    I am contemplating doing the cam swap - I have a 2017 T120
    I want to keep it fairly stock - I do not want to remove the cat, nor change the pipes, I may upgrade the air box. - Will not be adding any type of "Power Commander" type unit.

    Anyone know what amount of HP and Torque increase I would be looking at?

    Thanks

    Glenn
