FLYS ARE OUT!!!!!
Well just got done pulling the flies and remapping the bike with a flies out map. You guys were right all along. What a difference in low end power. Bought the JIS screwdriver and added a little heat and the flies came out with no problem.

Almost everyone including me was initially aphrehensive about the flys out mod. But man oh man what a payoff. A mod that reaps such a mega benefit and for free. It makes one wonder what the heck the Kawa boys were thinking, It's like they thought a bunch pantywaisted newbies would loop their new hyperbikes.

Sweet! And tell us more about that low end. It feels good when you are taking off and you are not cruising around at 3000 rpm wacking the throttle open are you? Some of us say that power that low is useless and we need your feed back!

Pulls hard like a tractor from down low now that the flies are out. The map I got from fuelmoto is spot on with my set up. It also pulls really hard when your cruising in any gear and you twist the throttle. No more hesitation at all. Don't know why I waited so long to do it, so glad I did.

Does anybody actually have any data to support the benefits of yanking the flies? You know timed runs and dyno numbers before and after. I prefer that over perceived improvement. Not trying to be a smart a** but in other pursuits I have seen on many occasions people swear something is the real deal only to find marginal improvement when you get the numbers down.

I haven't done this yet, as I said above. However, this doesn't need any hard facts to prove the benefits of doing it. Anyone that has twisted the throttle on a ZX14 knows that this thing doesn't come alive until 6,000 rpms, pulling the flies corrects this issue. PERIOD.

Is there a map for a PCV that just locks the flies open all the time? And do the '09's benefit as much as the earlier bikes from removing them? I'm a green noob to these bikes and will probably never take mine to a track. It's long day rides and touring for me and this thing's scary fast as it is!

seriously? If you know anything about this bike....you would not even be asking this question. 06-07 is MUCH more affected due to the flies not really opening up until about 6k...08-up they open up earlier around 3.5k. Both benefit, but the first two years is a major drivability improvement.
But depending on your riding style....limp wristed riders need not apply for this mod...they would not know the dufference anyway...lol

+1 ! For sure!
06-07 were the greatest example of what pulling the flies does for power.
Seriously It was the difference of taking off slower than a 600 vs. Taking off like an Acme rocket with Wil E. Coyote!
