I was thinking about doing it...but haven't done it yet...timing/spark advance is also something that needs to be addressed; there are issues in 5th gear at 4k..and the bike needs to be re-timed down low. There is much more power here than anyone knows...motor mod's are not required either.

I'm just frothing at the bit to get this done,but I want to do a stock dyno pull first. Where are you guys hooking up to get the tach signal for the rpm readout on the dynos at?


I dont have a manual yet otherwise I would look in there..

You need to block off the pare valve to get an accurate AFR...otherwise you'll be running to rich.



Whats the deal??? Lean or what?

Question for the guys who have tried this:

I'm not sure that I want a BUNCH more low-end punch, but I wouldn't mind gaining SOME more low-end. Do you think that removing the plates and drilling a pair of holes in each, on either side of the shaft, would make a noticable difference? For instance, let's say that you are gaining 10% more power and tq by removing the plates completely, could I drill holes amounting to 50% of the plate area and gain only 5% more power?

I ask because I'm not sure that I am ready to risk having a "lurchy" bike at low revs. My wrist may not be able to tame that enough for me to be comfortable rolling-on in corners yet. I don't mind experimenting since I can always buy a new set of plates to switch back if I decide to.

Off a coil stick. You just have to remove a "grill panel".

Take a look at this post. I have the difference in the AFR posted on the dyno charts. 4th gear runs (secondaries Closed under 5k).
6th gear run (secondaries open under 5k).
Clearly shows diff. in AFR & power gains.

Zermatt... the difference is not so crazy .... not like a hit of Nitrous.
Big difference yes.... uncontrolable NO.

I would not recommend it for people who shouldn't be on this bike to begin with....
and only they can truthfully answer that!
That being said ... if your really comfortable with the stock power, and have been riding big bore bikes forever... try it!
You'll know what you want!

I'm leaving 1st and 2nd gear blackies exiting corners at any rpm above 2500 .... when i want to!

If you don't like it you can reinstall, or reinstall them modified.
If I was going to go half way.... mod the plates.... I would cut them in half.
I have not looked but the part cut off would be inline with the injectors... for atomization purposes.
Just my 2 cents..... but what do i know.

From what I saw...the AFR is high down low without the plates removed. That is exactly what I was saying...but from Orjef's report on this forum, he found no diff in the AFR with the plates on or off...but he DID block off the pare valve...did you do that as well? The results will be skewed if you didn't do that...

No map change yet .........
Im running the Schnitz map now for the Muzzy and the bike seems
to be absoluty great. As soon as I can schedule the Dyno time, then
I will have it checked and tuned.

Based on fuel economy, 36.1 mpg before the plate removal and 36.1
after the plate removal. ( no change ) But holly cow the torque !

zxbob,

Have you, or anyone, tried the bike w/the plates out and w/, then w/o, the TRE? In other words, does the TRE help anything w/the plates removed? In addition, from what I could tell, you had the TRE on first, and still noticed a big difference when you took out the plates, yes?

Everybody please hold your opinion of Ivan, and/or his TRE, I'm familiar w/what some of you think. I just want to know if the TRE does anything in addition to the plate removal.

Thanks dub & fts for the reply and pm - I may try taking them out this weekend and see how it feels.

I *really* miss the low-end of my ZZR, and I'm hoping that this mod will bring that feeling back. I just don't want to scare myself in a corner or cause a slide... I like to ride hard, but I'm not a fan of leaving long black marks coming out of corners just yet

The runs were done w/o blocking off P.valve due to the fact that I was not actually tuning but just trying to get a base to compare the diff. gear runs. The p.valve does skew A/F results but it is a constant & basicly you can still see the problems in the fuel mix even w/o blocking off. If you look at the map where I o'laid the 2 runs (4th & 6th gr.) you can see that the ecm is clearly opening the sec. flies in 5th & 6th gr. When I have an exhaust , pc3usb on the bike I will remove the sec. flies & block the p.valves. The results will be posted in detail.
Just for the record I'am all for the removal of the sec. flies & can't wait to pull them but as I said in the past I won't do it w/o an appropriate fuel management system.

I have been avoiding riding mine just the same as I am afraid of burnt valves.
