K&N

[onfire23]

Does anyone know in step by step process, how to remove the plastic tank shroud and how to fit K&N Filers (2) to a CBR1000RR. Oh if you know the Air filter flap mod it would be a bonus!

Help please! :-/

[Gav]

No problem fella...

I know its a Granny egg sucking moment but dont forget to re-jet the carbs etc as BIG holes in the pistons are a real bugger for the compression ratio.

Weak mixture = BANG! = 0 compression = F.O.A.D bill for a rebuild!! :(

Not too worry when it goes bang, will put the original filter in and take it in under warranty Lol! ;D
Dyno what I am doing :o

[Amante_271]

I cocked it up one time and now I have a piston (The other had a hole the size of a penny in the top!) as an ash tray! The hole for the gudgen pin is just right for putting my fag in it! :o :)

[onfire23]

Did that once to my AE 80 messed around with the carb float level .. couple days latter blew a hole in the top of the Piston.

Yep I owned a Kawi, well I was only 18 young irresponsible, easily impressed no change there Lol!

;D

[Amante_271]

LOL! Those AE80s were pretty good fun for the size of the engine tho!

Blowing a piston on a 271cc 2stroke twin on a shake down run on the M4 made it a bloody slow 135.5 single as I struggled to limp off at Leigh Delly and limp 10miles home! :( Oh the joys of a re-bore!

[onfire23]

Miss those days well not kawi 350 triple did't they try to ban it because it was too fast or something?
Suzy Ram Air, Yam RD LC still remember smell castrol R... Now surely I should be a senior member..CBX

Blah blah

;D ;D

Think I'll de-bore my Blade to take me back to the 80's Lo!!

[Amante_271]

The Kawa triple was hinged in the middle wasnt it? Castrol R - Beats the smell of Napalm in the morning!!

I would say you qualify as a Snr member on old memories if nothing else! LOL! ;D (er just like me!!! :-/)

You are showing your age my man,carbs?? What are they?? :D

[onfire23]

Slabside...

Did you not own a Slingshot gixerboy? 8-)

[GixerBoy]

Mate only been riding proper for the last 3 years!
Tell you what tho',your bike could do with a slingshot! ;D ;D ;D

[onfire23]

Yeah noticed, sorry to harp on about it but someone does not like the Wet! :'(

Anyway will I need my blade dynod when I fit the new filters??

Well since you've got a can as well then i would,but like we talked about before,you will need a Power commander.
As for not liking the wet,you are talking about yourself right? :-[

[onfire23]

Yep you got me 100% correct...only around town though greasy roundabouts :'(

Silverstone should be an education 8-)

Mate,you will be fine! Since you're gonna be off for a while,let me know and we can go out for a bit of 'one on one'.............No dodgy comments Mac daddy! ::) :o ;)

Hmmm maybe...
If fitting the filter and the exhaust you should have a power commander fitted to fine tune for max perfomance, but ot essential.
I can supply a power commander set up for the pipe and filter for your bike, upto you then if you want to dyno run it, but not worth it really.

You ever had a bike on the dyno Gav???

Yes have had a couple done mate.
Also fit alot of jet kits and power commanders and have had alot of people come back after a dyno run saying it was pretty much spot on and didnt need adjusting.
I normally set them up using a CO meter to set up mixture through the rev range...
And with the power commanders you can download specific maps for different pipes and filters online from PDQ in slough, so they will have been set up on the rollers and save the hassle of doing it yourself.
The only time i think you will benefit from a session on the rollers with just a pipe/filter and PC is if you are flash and are 3D mapping for ignition aswell......but as i said its down to preference and if you think your specific bike needs a session....most dont!
But then again its good pub talk to have a nice looking graph showing your gee gee'sssss

Don't know how you can set up the fueling 'throughout the rev range' with a CO meter static........ ::)
Every bike is different mate and i'm sure you know that bikes are set up from the factory to cope with emissions and noise regs so even a standard bike set up properly on a dyno would show improvements throughout the rev range.....i'm not concerned with just top line horsepower figures,driveability and touqre is where its at on the road!
Well aware of down loadable maps but like i said,every bike is different,rolling road the only way too do the job proper! ;)

[Gav]

You can set up with a CO meter the only thing you cant set for is engine load, but as i said iv not had any complaints so far.
Yes a session on a rollin road will always show improvment.

Also it really does depend on where you go and what model dyno they have, as all the early (pre 2001) dynojet dynos cannot map real due to the software for the power commanders being windows based and the earlier dynos being DOS based...
Also they dont mesure eddy surrent so cannot correct for engine load...
And based on that it can be done just aswell with a CO meter, there are only a few outlets that have the newer ones that do the job properly.

And if you mapping a power commander real time it can only be done at a DYNOJET dyno centre as they will not release the software to anyone else.
