The big Z is going for an ECU flash and dyno run this coming Tuesday. I'm looking forward to that bit of fine tuning to make it perfect and running the way Mr.Kawasaki intended,rather than what some suit and his emission laws says.
Roll on Tuesday!

Reduced engine braking, flapper valve delete, injection cut in time in 4th 5th and 6th.....and in my case it was still making power at the red line so it was extended by 500rpm...

Yep,all being done. The waiting is the hardest part. I got withdrawal symptoms after only a couple of hours and the bloody sun's out too!  |

Preliminary report.
I picked up the bike this evening after the flash and lucked out with a lovely,dry and sunny hour long drive home.
I must admit I initially hesitated to have the work done,as I'm well aware I've voided the Kawasaki warranty on a 9 month old bike. However given the returns,I'm so glad I did.
I wasn't after,nor needed massive bhp gains,what I wanted was sweet fuelling and a bike that rides the way mister Kawasaki intended,not after the eurocrats messed with it. That has happened.
The bike has a real sense of urgency now,with no on/off snatchiness from the throttle,much easier and more pleasant to ride. It feels alive!
I'm looking forward to some decent time in the saddle now,no more fiddling....for a while!

You getting that nice bit of extra "shove and snappy`ness"!? and the way when you snap the throttle off it glides to a halt....

It just wants to go and the pickup from a closed throttle is lovely now,no feathering required. I needed to use a fair bit of back brake sometimes to counteract the snatchiness,but now so much easier. The weather is set fair for the next few days,so I'm gonna do some miles.  |

Then in lockdown,a police Sargent,thretend to fine me on the spot,becouse I didn't want to take my helmet off due to being hi risk. Then I had a copper,jump Infront of the car Infront of me,not to stop the car,but to stop me as he said it looked like I wasn't going to stop. Idiot nealy cause me to crash into the car infront,due to emergency stop..... Wales nice roads,but the rozers are bullys towards bikers.....
