Howdi,
I went and had my zx14 dyno'd on the w/e and i thought theold girl (50,000km old) did pretty well, 155hp stock as a rock. The thing I did notice was that my a/f was all over the shop, starting one side of the 1.3 dotted line and finisheing waay down the other end (varied 1.1-1.6) and I would like to improve this.
The guy tried to sell me a power commander and eventually a pipe but I wanted to think about it first
Before I spend $1000au (PC5 + installation and tuning) on a bike that already goes like a shower of shit I wanted to know
1) Does it really make much of a difference (seat of the pants)
2) Does it wreck the ridability of the bike its pretty damn smooth as it is and pulls like a dorm full of schoolboys already
3) does it really have to be loud, I like the stock system cause it is quiet. I like to do the odd 600mile day and I couldnt think of anything worse than having my exhaust barking at me all day
4) what does it do to your fuel economy (currently getting about 300km to a tank)
5) what does it do to the stock computer, I would still like to retain all the features (gear ind., trip meters fuel usage, range etc)
6) do you have to get it customed mapped ? how good a job does the auto tune do ??
I need to know this so I can figure out wether I want to go the PC5 or get my suspension sorted out (resprung for my weight, revalved and rebuilt) for about the same amount of money
Cheers
