I should have it bolted up to a built motor in a month or less.

that J is pretty big though.. the length of the U area where the silencer mounts is really long. looks like this should be a good mid range pipe .. belly is small this thing will hit hard and may be loud as the baffle looks to be late in the belly.. should be fun I see no hesitation in any of the rpm bands :smile:

put it on your ZX NOW!!!!!!!!! and post a vid :wink: I wanna hear it

I'm sorely tempted to bolt it on now, but I'm leading a 40 scoot ride through the hills of Austin this weekend, and won't have time to get to it until next week at the earliest.

cool, yeah and you'd probably have to retune for that pipe also, I'll be keeping an eye out for a video though :popcorn:

Which brings out the next question, to drill or not to drill? It would be the only way for me to get the EGT to read the temps.

no drill.

Buy a temp sensor that screw on a spark plug hole.

I don't want to drill, but I'd rather run an EGT sensor than a CHT one. It would actually be cheaper to replace the pipe than to have a blown motor.

It's running perfectly right now. The temps are right where they were last time, and there is no stumbling or hesitation.

I'm thinking about going down to 6.0 gram rollers since I have the 7.0 gram ones in now. I want to see how the bike reacts to the reduction of roller weight.

Another thing, I am using the Malossi torque converter, and am thinking about switching the 'pins' to the alternate location to see what difference there is.

In a couple of weeks I'm going to try out the Burial exhaust even though cylinder won't be matched to that specific exhaust.

don't do to many changes at once.if your dropping to all 6grams ,that alot of weight at 1 time.do it 1.5gram increaments.or 3 grams total weight change.6 is way to much.You should get some polini or malossi weights that have those off weights like 6.7g or 7.4g rollers.then you can mix them with the straight gram rollers and you can change your weights in .5g to 1gram increaments.then you can really dial that bike in.

Alright, I'll get some fractional weight rollers to see how it goes.

Last two weeks have been hectic planning a 40+ ride thru the hills of Austin TX. Lot's of Honda and Yamaha scoots, with my bike making an appearance at 3:15.

My bike was running perfectly Thursday, but friday was 10 degrees warmer and the bike would not idle so I had to keep the slide open at the lights. That evening before one of the rides I put in a 37.5 slowjet and got the idle problem under control. The test of the weekend was perfect.
