Stack Notes:
The relief in the lower middle, between the two stacks
is clearance for the "airbox "bump" We use the "bump" top as part
of the air inlet path.
The two "cutouts" on the upper section of the two radii are for air
filter bolt clearance.
This is where the length wanted to be - so we got creative in
the design.
Boosted a bit of mid,
1-3 in the upper mid, Revs higher with more power.
2-3 at peak and
extends the peak rpm 700 to 1000 rpm higher, where it's 3-4 hp
stronger at 14.5k rpm than stock stacks
when measured under loaded dyno testing conditions on a bike with stock cam
timing
Generally, we don't usually remap the FI when doing
stack design, preferring to design stacks that improve power without
creating humps and hollows in the fuel delivery curve.
The Factory pro Stack advantages are better average
upper midrange and the addition of a "triangle of high rpm power" (that
wasn't there before). Instead of power dropping off just over 14k and
shifting at about 14.3k, now, you have an extra 700 - 1000 rpm of increased
powerband and better peak power that wasn't there before.
The base test and the R&D final testing was done
on the same day with a BMC Race filter (as I think that just about
everyone is using one). The stack power results should be the same powerband
peak power differences with stock, stock w/ screen removed, K&N, Pipercross,
Uni air filters.
Uses all stock mounting screws and air filter
access is retained.

As a professional former engine builder, I've done
most everything you can do to a set of gears, and shafts.
A great (5 to 10 hours of
labor) gearbox job generally includes:
Shimming to minimize lateral
play on the gears. (to builder's judgment)
Shimming to move each fixed gear
closer to it's sliding mate (but not too close) (to builder's
judgment)
Shimming shafts to move the assembly
closer to an optimum position. (to builder's judgment)
Using a surface grinder to make
your own custom thickness shims.
Making sure that you place the
"rounded" side of the circlips against any shim or gear
That puts the "sharp" edge
of the circlip nicely in the circlip retaining groove on
the transmission shaft so it doesn't
"ramp out" under side loading..
Checking and adjusting shift
mechanism "fingers" on the shift star "pins". (to builder's
judgment)
Checking, replacing gears with
worn engagement dogs and slots - or undercutting worn engagement
dogs.
I tend to try to use as little
angle on the undercut, as the more undercut angle, the more
you have to let off the power to get the gears to separate
- important when not using a "quickshifter" or "air shifter".
Deburring of most gears, most
shafts, the shift drum and the shift forks
A commercial facility, such
as Supertech, owned by the iconic Dennis Zickrick, in Colorado,
does metal finishing and low friction coatings.
I don't recommend cryogenically
treating powdered metal gears, like most Japanese type
gears are - I don't feel it's a good use of the process. I know
that I'll get some flack on that. I'm not saying that "cryo"
is bad, as I do use it at times for pistons, springs, knives,
unfinished gun barrels... just not powdered metal gears
or large finished machined castings.
Additionally, separate from the
gears and shafts, there's the shift mechanism (shift shaft,
selector device, shift fingers, detent
arm and spring, detent star)
Checking straightness of shift
shaft (sometimes they get bent on the left, shift linkage /
rear set side)
Polishing sliding parts in the
shift mechanism (to decrease friction of shift drum rotation
- and "quicker is better")
Reducing friction of the detent
arm (arm needs a bearing - which we make
as a model requires and "quicker is better")
optimizing detent arm spring
pressure (if the spring pressure should be changed, we make
- and "quicker is better")
optimizing detent ramps (if the
ramps aren't right, we make replacement "stars" - making it
"quicker")
Adding an
EVO Shift STAR kit - In general,
if the gearbox is setup "alright" (I would say that
most stock, original, undamaged transmissiona
are "alright"), that just adding the EVO Shift STAR kit is going to be
80% to 90% of
what is theoretically possible in improving shifting quickness,
reducing missed shifts, decreasing rider effort and protecting the
shift forks and gear engagement dogs from
damage caused by missed shifts.
How do you
know that a transmission is shifting quicker and more reliably?
You can feel
it when riding.
Even when
hand shifting on the bench, it's easier to get out of gear
and "snicks" into gear, rather than "clunks" into gear (yes,
most Kaws won't shift into 2nd unless the output shaft is
spinning :-)
You notice
that you only have time to slightly "twitch" the throttle off
a teeny bit between shifts and hardly have time to pull the
clutch lever even a little before the bike's already in the
next gear.
You "try"
to miss a shift on bench or riding and almost can't.
Your "quickshifter"
equipped bike shifts clunkily after an EVO Shift STAR kit install
and you have to decrease "shift kill time" by 15 to 20ms to
accommodate the EVO STAR's quicker shifting.
That 15
to 20ms is now converted to "engine power" time, rather
than "engine kill" time. That will improve power delivery
time on a racetrack and at the drags.
Funny
story - an AMA team called up and said the bike's shifted
awfully clunky after the Shift STAR - I was mystified and
in talking, we couldn't figure out why the riders claimed
the clunkiness - as in the pits, it was def. quicker - and
didn't even think to ask about whether they were using a
quickshifter.
They called up later and said that they figured out that
the "quickshifter" was now killing the power too long and
it was perfect when they decreased the shift kill time.
BTW
- for roadracing, a perfect QS system will have several
factors to program. Should still be pretty easy to sort
out - and there's nothing commercially available as
or Feb 2009, and that includes the guy who supposedly
built his own Suzuki ecu, (well, he did make the box
at least - the ECU seemed to be a repackaged EFI Technologies
ECU according to the software) on the market that's
"right" for roadracing, though most all are are fine
for drag racing and "alright" for roadracing.
It's everything that I ever wanted to do to a shift
mechanism -
Slightly stronger detent spring - a new MicroBearing detent arm and
the final piece... A completely redesigned, empirically refined, multi
angled, variable radii, repeaked and valleyed: EVO-7 DETENT STAR This part will totally change the feel of the bike as a whole. The
shifting effort is about the same - but the speed at which the gears
actually engage is dramatically improved - Quicker, easier, shifting
- A "twitch" on the lever and the throttle and you are in the next gear!
Perfect for track use and road riding for effortless downshifts into
a corner and just a "tap" to upshift without any more than a "twitch"
off the throttle -
That's not even mentioning that missed shifts virtually
disappear!
In town? Low rpm cruise in second - shift to
third? So quick and smooth that it will surprise and amaze - NO more
clunky, lazy shifting in town - As I said - it's totally different and
improved -
Proven concept - Virtually all the Factory Pro Support
riders in the AMA and WERA multi- Champions Vesrah Racing tested and
proved the EVO-7 Stars in 2003.
Stock shift performance that everybody used to take
as a "given" will be regarded as "slow and lazy" after riding a bike
with this kit -
Kit includes the new Factory Pro designed
Shift Kit, a new Factory Pro detent arm with a low friction microbearing
roller, a new Factory Pro shift spring and the NEW Factory Pro EVO Detent
Star.
Make shifting MUCH quicker. MUCH easier,
MUCH lighter and virtually eliminate missed shifts.

To diagnose rich
or lean conditions, comparing Factory Pro's Eddy Current
Sweep and Eddy Current Step
Tests will allow, even without an exhaust gas analyzer, you to diagnose
many rich and lean carburetion problems.
To do these tests,
you must have load conditions that are equal, as far as the engine is
concerned, to get comparable information. Factory Pro is the only company
that specializes in tuning and has empirically derived more than one
formula to do this.
Generally,
if other dyno companies are asked, they respond with "We can do that"
or "You don't need to do that." Not acceptable. Your dyno manufacturer
should be able to help tune.
Companies
with add-on "retarders" bolted onto high inertia systems cause excess
engine wear when testing.
Eddy Current dynamometer
systems must be originally designed as low inertia systems so as to
not cause excess engine wear.
Factory Pro's EC997
Eddy Current dyno is the state of the art in Tuning Procedures.

Artisan Crafted Fine Cheeses
– Since 1865
Specializing in Handmade Brie
& Camembert
Marin French Cheese Co.,
also known as The Cheese Factory and Rouge et Noir is not
just the oldest cheese manufacturer in the country, but
a vacationers and day trippers destination as well as a
unique part of American History. Located north of San Francisco,
east of Napa County, west of Pt. Reyes and Olema and south
of Sonoma County, Marin French has produced hand crafted
Artisan soft ripened cheese since 1865. Rouge et Noir cheeses
are similar to French and European varieties but reflect
the characteristics of Northern California, producing it's
own regional style.
The extension of the laboratory
for engines of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed
in about 1935. Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940).
He had a successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after
the advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar
to that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in normal
use but well preserved.
Edited to the tunes of Chemical Residue by Herbie Hancock.
Maybe in next rewrite, he'll fix the ignition timing
and dyno chapters...
Otherwise great book with great starting ideas.
