Project The FZR on Steroids Bike

I would have to measure it but it looks right ... the original from my bike is at the bottom of my pic

 

Bikes **** me

Crap screws and tight as , just to remove the throttle guide .... dremel surgery required ... 2 minute job took 2 hours



And the tube someone sent me that was supposedly a stock one is identical to what came out ....







At least I got rid of the stupid looking arrow head front blinkers

 

More crappy/broken bits off and some replacement parts fitted

 

All the 'track' junk gone and back in 1 piece

 

So got the TuneECU running finally .... initially to see if it has the correct mapping and eventually to try and calm down the power delivery at low throttle , as it had the standard throttle tube all along

The map its running is for an Arrow exhaust so its wrong for starters as it now has a standard setup .... so some changes needed and a trip to a dyno

 

Yea was thinking the same .... Ive been around a computer and the internet since they were invented but Im not convinced fixing a bike with a mouse and keyboard is better/easier than a spanner and a screwdriver

Seems our local dyno tuner has some pretty good credentials .... worked with Billy van Eerde and some other Asian Talent Cup riders

Remapped it today ... Im no expert 'reading' maps but theres a few different values in the new stock map ... hopefully a test ride tomorrow to feel some positive changes

New grips also to help with the rideability

 

Did a few Ks today and it went like a dream .... the remap has calmed the beast ... so much more rider friendly and it holds the speed limit at a nice steady rpm without having to throttle down all the time ... and no more wheelies on the roundabouts .... and it now sounds like a grumbling black bear thats just been grabbed by the testicles.




Going by this from yesterday the throttle bodies are out of sync .... but will recheck it via the software now its 'run in' the new map out on the road.

And just for u old carby flunkys ... the throttle bodies have to be synced by 2 adjustment screws manually just like the old days .... and tank off , airbox off ... same old shite

 

So even though Im not a big fan of carbon fibre , I bought an exhaust tip from Germany , as u do

And like alot of bike things Ive bought lately it doesnt fit!

The holes for the spacers / fixing bolts are too small

Now Ive sent off a complaint to the company but the only solution will be to drill out the holes a little ... now of course we are talking carbon fibre , which Im sure is the real deal and not plastic from China ... it certainly wasnt cheap so Id like to not stuff it up.

Any thoughts

hello, we are sorry that the holes are a bit too small. it can come from time to time to small rework like holes aufweitweiten, there are hand-made parts.
Could you widen the holes yourself?
We usually do that with a Dremel. To do this, mask off the affected area with adhesive tape that does not break and slowly widen with the Dremel. So it should work and fix it quickly. Regards Nadine

I can fix it myself but why should I have to?

After spending $120 the only thing I should be doing is spending 5 minutes bolting it on

I suggest you improve your quality control

And are you going to guarantee to send me a new one if it cracks while Im trying to enlarge the holes?
