Ignition Components |
|
 RTR-KAW-97-04 (fits 00-03 only) Ignition Advance Kit $89.95 USD |
This suggested standard advance rotor advances the timing 4 degrees. With stock engines with stock compression ratios, there is more power everywhere. Part throttle power is improved - helping corner exit speeds. Improved in-town driveability. 80% cheaper and 100% more reliable than a non sparking power commander ignition box. Works with or without injection remapping - Works with stock and aftermarket exhaust. |

Transmission Shift Improvement |
|
|
Shift Improvement Kit $199.95 USD |
Factory Pro's famous SHIFT STAR kit Make shifting MUCH
quicker and virtually eliminate missed shifts. The Shift STAR makes
shifting even quicker and even easier than the below "Pro Kit". You must remove
the oil pump and oil pan AND the clutch assembly to install. |

BMC Air Filters |
|
|
FIB-25619R2 $129.95 USD |
Will add ~1-2hp True HP at high rpm when
EFI properly tuned. Filter is similar to other brands of cotton gauze and screen aftermarket filters, but, the RACE filter requires tuning and the STREET (below) shouldn't require retuning. However, even a stock bike with a stock air filter will run better with the fuel injection remapped.... Suggest cleanable BMC air filter system (avail. direct from Factory Pro) for more power - click here / there for more information. |

FI-BMC-25619S $115.95 USD |
Will add ~1hp at high rpm when properly jetted
and will "clean up" low-end richness when fully warmed upon stock carbureted
bike otherwise. Suggest cleanable BMC air filter system (avail. direct from Factory Pro) for more power - click here / there for more information. |
Muzzy ZX12 exhaust system (as of Jan 1, 2002):
Must use some sort of aftermarket EFI mapping device with this system. With
this exhaust, the lowend mapping is extremely important to dial in - otherwise,
low rpm, as in "in-town driving" is poor.
Properly tuned, the Muzzy delivers very good power - better than many others.
The 4 gas EC997 dynamometer systems are the
preferred method
of tuning - as they can tune by engine smoothness - in addition to realtime
HP and torque readouts.
Tuning an aftermarket FI "modifier" box on a dyno using an O2 (oxygen) sensor to
guess at an "A/F Ratio" is totally misleading - not uncommonly resulting in
FI settings that can be 3 to 6 True HP less than potential best power. That especially
includes "autotuned" power commanders. I just talked to a guy who spent 3 hours
"autotuning" his racebike - only to have it still have problems at high rpm/part
throttle (as in entering a corner / maintaining speed on racetrack).
Heck, in 3 hours, we could have properly tuned both fuel and ignition maps for best
power AND smoothness manually!
Best to tune for power - not a fictitious "A/F Ratio"...........
If you hear someone say that "It didn't make any more power, but it's got a better
fuel curve." Run away fast! That makes no sense - if the fuel rate was better -
it would make more power.
Gee - am I the only one who knows that???? I hope not!

Power Commander 3 and 3r and autotuning:
Oddly, (in direct clash with "autotuning salespeoples' claims) when measured
under load, it is starting to be a trend that, even with the same fuel delivery
rate - i.e. with pc map = zero map, the power output above 7k/100% throttle seems
to degrade WITH the pc3 simply installed and that "autotuning" isn't tuning for
optimum power....
Hmmm.....
One bike (Keith H. ~01/01/02), auto "tuned" in Florida by a "Power Commander Center",
went from 150.3 peak to 156.6 peak when properly tuned for power
- not, as it was - autotuned by residual oxygen values in the exhaust.
Retuned the pc3 for realtime power. Gained over 6 True HP at peak. Interesting.
Yet, just another bad showing for o2 based autotuning schemes.
But a lot of us tuners already knew that residual exhaust oxygen tuning was not
very optimal for power.
The other zx12 (Lawrence P. - 02/09/02), with a pc3r starting with the installed
"zero" map maxed out at 138.4 True HP - after adjusting fuel for best power.
Removed the pc3. Peak power jumped up to 145.7 True HP with no fuel changes.
The simple installation of the pc3 with a power optimized fuel map lost 5-6
over a stock, unmapped ECU?
Looks like something's wrong. And it ain't the EC997 dyno! They read the same every
day.
Oh my, oh my, whatever will they do when they show that their optimum "A/F Ratio"
does not equal best power or best 1/4 mile?????
Stay tuned.
TEKA EMS and the EC997 dynos will not have those pc3 and auto "tuning" scheme
problems.

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. |

| 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. |
