Ok… now this is an ongoing project…
First up is the exhaust.. The customer wanted to
get rid of the large twin system..
As it seems hard to get any info out of Kawasaki
for the tech stuff I need to calculate the correct
sizes lengths etc., he wanted to go for an interim
system till we could sauce all the tech details
I needed..

Ok.. here is the interim pipe with carbon muffler
that will be used in the final system…
Looks good and drops 10kg of the bike which if it
did nothing else is a bonus.. BUT…..
|
It did better than that…
Here is the dyno chart of the improvements..
Plus it also bought the slightly over rich mixtures
into a more respectable range.
Well experience and rough calcs come together

Next part of the project is
to machine a ride height adjuster… it is ridiculously
low and as the guy that owns this uses it as a sports
bike not a drag bike, He has already found the limit
of ground to sight glass clearance.. and it aint
enough.. |

|
while it was on the dyno I did some other tests…
i.e which ignition map is the best… so I can build
the electronics to use that one in most gears instead
of the doughy one that Kawasaki give ya for gears
1 to 4.. and also to get rid of the limiter in 6th
that stops you going over 304km/h.. and that I know
is a definite figure cos I ran it till it hit the
false limiter at 10,500 rpm
Ongoing Project.. This will be updated when the
customer gives me the bike back for the next stage….
