A Special ZRXOA 2.0 Kit
designed for user who wants to use a K&N air filter AND remove the stock
airbox snorkel. Why a different kit? Because, when you remove the snorkel
and install the K&N or BMC stock replacement air filter, the best needle
profile is no longer the same as the above #1.0 or the #3.0 kit, but
requires a different needle taper for optimum performance. |

Just wanted to thank you for the quality of your work. I have the Factory Pro Jet
kit, K&N stock replacement air filter, and Yoshimura slip-on. Your recommendations
were right on. Bike has perfect throttle response. Thanks again.

00'Green.
D&D full exhaust, with alum. canister.
Factory Pro Config 10,100 mains, needles in third notch with one washer under clip
.
Mixture screws out 2 2/3 turns. (yeah, yeah. I know, but that's where they ended
up when right.)
K&N replacement filter.
Gutted Snorkel and trimmed back 1/2".
Smooth, seamless power delivery from idle to past redline and much "stouter" than
stock.

Just a quick note to tell you what a fine job you do on R&D. I just installed a
ti kit in my 99 ZRX (Kerker slip-on, K&N filter, foam removed from snorkel
throat, and trimmed side cover). 100 mains, e-clip on 3rd slot, and 2.5 turns on
mixture screws. Pulls great from idle to redline using your recommended base settings.
By the way my other 3 bikes (98 VTR,97 Bandit 1200s, and 94 CB1000)have had the
same results with your kits. I never even consider purchasing kits from you know
who.
Thanks again for well researched products.

Marc,
I got the 1.0 kit, and I have nothing but good things to say about it.
The directions could not have been easier, and the initial recommendations proved
to be so good, I don't think I will mess with it. I have yet to dyno the bike, but
it pulls real good, much better than stock.
I also have:
Muzzy megaphone
K&N replacement filter
I have not trimmed the side cover, but I did remove the cage and foam from the snorkel.
If I go with Ted's advancer, will I need to go up to the 102's? ( to help prevent
detonation).
Thanks for such a great product.

Question:
A number of ZRX owners (with stock cams and a variety of pipes - not Yosh) have
posted dyno results with a pronounced torque dip at about 5000 RPM.
Can you tell us why that happens?
Just wanted to thank you for the quality of your work. I have the Factory Jet kit,
K & N stock replacement air filter, and Yoshimura slip-on. Your recommendations
were right on. Bike has perfect throttle response. Thanks again.
Answer:
If we check out a bike and change a couple things, perhaps I can shed some light
on the subject.
If the torque drops at an rpm during a steady state test (not a sweep test), and
the 4 Gas readings indicate a mixture problem, perhaps, by addressing that fuel
problem, we could "fix" the torque problem, though, there's not much in a carb that
affects only 5k.
It's possible that it is the pipe, possibly aggravated by intake tract length -
possibly a few more issues, too.
What is common to all the bikes with torque drop-off problem?
Pipe brand?
jet kit brand?
Stock airbox?
Individual air filters?

The Military
Vehicle Technology Foundation was founded by the late Jacques
Littlefield. It is located in Portola Valley, just south of San
Francisco. The
Military
Vehicle Technology Foundation oversees one of the largest
and most significant collections of historical military vehicles in
the world. Our goal is to acquire, restore, and interpret the
historical significance of 20th and 21st century military vehicles.
Domestic and foreign combat vehicles such as tanks, armored cars,
self-propelled artillery, and other technically interesting mobile
platforms are the focus of the collection. We also maintain an
extensive technical library that describes many vehicles down to the
part level. Aside from the vehicles, there are towed artillery,
antitank, and antiaircraft guns. Military support equipment, inert
ordnance, and accessories round out the collection. |

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. |
