Stage 2, and BARELY ANY POWER

[06gsxr1000]

So, recently I have noticed I do not have the same power from my car! It seems like the power has dropped. Not saying there is NOTHING there.. but it definitely is not as much as it was! Could it be that I have a leak somewhere? I heard diverter valve goes, could it be that?? I do not have a boost gauge to check boost.. Also, when I get on it, and stop, I hear a WEIRD, just weird sound almost like it keeps popping.. from the exhaust... It is hard to explain.. something is just different!

Have one of the techs at the dealership you work at check it out....

Just saying, seems pretty logical. You work for a dealer and the car is under warranty but your first stop is the internet for a problem....

I'd rather not run to them for every little problem! Thats why I come here to see what you guys think! If you don't like it you really do not have to read the post! I am well aware I can drop it off with them, but why drop it off. I highly doubt a diverter valve will be warranty work! It very well might be just my imagination... (getting used to the stage 2??)

It's probobally your imagination, my stage 2 feels slow as balls as well. As yes a diverter valve is covered.

he wasnt being an ass. just trying to use some logic. you work at a dealer so it makes sense to have them check it out while you're at work one day...

I do know that snow tires makes stage 2 feel "not as cool".

Haha it's that hot mess feeling of doing a burnout on marshmallows while TC cuts power and the clutch slips at the same time. I am glad someone else appreciates the feeling as well.

OP, I felt the same way when I went Stage 2...
I think it has more to do with our perception of what "stage 2" brings to the table.
It's really not all that much more of a power increase (compared to, say, stock to stage 1)

Well, I felt a difference when I first got it, I been stage 2 for a few months now.... and it seems like it has slowed down...
