Pulled the plates and runs like shit now Alright I got the Hindle full system CF can and power commander with Brocks latest map. Took the secondaries out because several of you said the bike runs great with out a map.. Wrong mine runs like pure shit! And I can tell that it is way to lean in places and to rich in others.. Why is everyone saving it runs better?? I need a map or I"m putting them back in... Map anyone???

You can always put them back in. I'm heading to a DynoJet this Sat, should give some different results from the Mustang dyno I used last week. My plates are removed, and I'll post the full sheet with the EGA curve.

Fellas wasn't born yesterday.. The map is so bad that I really don't even know where to start to get it right.. Brock said he will have a map but it will proalby be awhile. I will try to use the schnitz map but I don't think it will be much better.. I've gotten pretty good with mapping by the ass theory over the years but I need a baseline map and I'm so far off with brocks map.

removing the plates affects the a/f ratio above 6 k negligably,but there is a definite lean out of all throttle settings below that rpm. i have seen a/f ratios pegged at the 18-1 limit with plates removed on stockers! with my hi-flo air filter it is even worse,and a pipe just continues the lean-out. with a/f ratios that lean, driveability is severely compromised. we have also found that the 14 is a typical mass-produced jap bike,with HP figures on stockers varying widely. so far we have seen 8 hp variation. heck,the zx -12 has the worse record for consistency on my dyno,with a variation of 15!!! hp. 143 was the lowest with 158 the best.i have seen most typical jap models with at least a 8 hp variation,but with the majority of skoots clustered around a 2-3 HP "average" area. another thing i have found is that each bike will respond completely different to the same mods done to other skoots.not all bikes will gain the same HP and tork with a certain pipe/filter ,etc.i have lost a few customers to other shops that have happier??!! dynos. one can't and shouldn't be too concerned with HP figures from dynos that u skoot has never been on. as said in previous posts there are just too much variations in dyno numbers.

Yup...no one else does anyway...:P What type of credentials do you have anyway, like do you work for a mag doing testing and shit? Do you have an engineering degree? What exactly qualifies you to write reviews? ____________

At this point, would it be safe to say that since I've installed cans and probably already leaned my bike out a bit from that change, that I should not remove the plates until I go the PC route?

first version done and tested,gains above 6k...i will start 2nd version ??? this r&d is cutting into my ridin time!! the zx-14 filter is on the small side of what it should be,so it'll be worth the purchase of a bmc when they come out with one. my goal is not to market a filter,but to do the r&d and learn about this 14.
