I have had my 07 limited edition ZX 14 for about 5 months before that it was a cbr 600 F4I then a Kawi 636 I have never heard of these flyis and dont even know if im spelling them correct. I have heard of people removing them on the early model ZX like mine but what do they do were are they located and what would it do for my bike ????

Dan:

See the first message here for some basic information about "flies" (secondary butterflies), and here for information about how to remove them.

DO IT! You won't be sorry. (Mine is an 07 also...)

Be sure to use a new, good quality, screwdriver and heat it up before each use (I used a torch). Get the screw nice and hot before you turn it. -bg

We all had two sets of flies. The primaries are the 4 little trap doors that open to let air in when you turn the throttle grip. The secondaries are 4 doors that are upstream and they are controlled by the bike's computer. Long as you have your secondaries in, they will be overriding aggressive throttle application at low rpm to midrange because the computer doesn't open the secondaries until about 6K rpm on an 06-07 ZX-14. Pull your secondaries and now the computer has nothing to say.

Who do you want to ride your bike, you or the computer? I'd pull 'em on a G1. G2, not a huge dif IMO but might as well do it when ever you take the notion.
