Second round: “Wouldn’t it be nice?” – I gave it some serious thought and made some wishful predictions about oil-cooled Yoshimura products.

Aftermarket parts ideally should be easy to install and capable of increasing performance, which would boost adoption rates , right?
If installation requires lots of “tricks and know-how,” the barrier to entry gets pretty high.
When it arrives and you open it up
“Alright! Install it!”
I think products like that would be awesome (*´▽`*)

I’ve been thinking about this for a while – the oil cooler inlet diameter being “large at 40φ”

The diameter I used to use often was 38φ for the Z .
It was just the right size – not too large and the pitch was common too~
I used to work around the spigot issue to get it installed.

If they expanded the lineup to include sizes like 36/38φ with “different flavor variations ,” I think it would increase the enjoyment of oil cooling even more.
*I say that, but we’re a stock carb shop so I can’t really talk big about it…

It would be great to have an “easy-to-install TMR-specific intake manifold” (*’ω’*)

Depending on which intake manifold you use, the crankcase (generator boss) can be close or even make contact
since the TMR drain bolt is large, sometimes it gets too close.
At minimum 5mm, ideally 10mm of clearance would be reassuring.

It’s good to position the carb as close to the engine as possible for smooth feel.

TPS (throttle position sensor) is a must-have

If I’m being greedy, I’d love to see a TPS that fits between #3 and #4 like they used to make – that would be amazing~
Preferably compact.

The oil-cooled 1200 series that comes with TPS pre-installed (GSF is import-only) has that advantage we want to leverage.
Even with aftermarket ignition systems like Watanabe, if it’s a TPS-compatible unit then 3D mapping becomes possible.

With TPS, you get smooth, refined feel .
You can maximize the benefits of the TMR that way

YR throttle holder and throttle cable should also be model-specific

Handlebar switches well, we’ll have to leave that to each person to figure out .
If the throttle area had dedicated design it would be extremely easy to order and install .

The YR throttle holder already exists in the current product lineup, so I’d like to see it expanded to more models.
*You’d probably need to research the winding diameter too.

From order to installation, all possible with Yoshimura products

Let’s say you wanted to put a TMR on a GSF1200~ .

You’d order the diameter selection/dedicated intake manifold/dedicated throttle holder & cable ,
basically remove the stock parts and swap them in – that’s it, installation complete, super quick
. No need to source parts from different places or do custom fitting work anymore, making it very efficient.


I’m just writing this on my own, so please don’t think “Is this actually going to be released?”
