Since many of us now have the 03 model Im sure some people have tinkered with it by now to get some more FREE HP. I'm NOT talking about what to buy for it. I'm talking about how to take restrictors, governors, rev limiters off. Or re routing hoses ect... I have read a few articles about how to do a few things but I would like advice and secrets about our 03 636R/RR now. Instructions, diagrams, and pics welcome
#1 Rev Limiter: I have not felt the rev limiter kick in yet but anyone know at what RPM it does kick in. If it is at a low RPM then we'd like to see, has anyone removed it yet?
#2 Catalytic Converter: First off, I would remove the Catalytic converter but it is located inside the exhaust pipe, so when you change to a slip-on or full system you are essentially removing the Cat. Thus creating a more free flowing system. Also with the cat off you can now use a higher octane leaded fuel for racing. Also you are not supposed to jump start your bike by running with it and popping it in gear if you have a Cat. (says the manual)
#3 Emission Controls: Our 03 ZX636R/RR comes with a Crankcase Emission Control System. Basically a system to reburn our dirty vapors. But we want to suck back in all clean new air to get the best burn. So how do we re route our bike to do this. Also All California models has an Evaporative Emission Control System but I don't think anyone here is from CA so it really doesn't apply.
#4 Kawasaki Clean Air System(KCA): I know there is a way to reroute this system to gain some ponies. Has anyone here done this yet? Have you dynoed it? I hear this gives some extra good low, mid, and high end power. Also I believe the tapping on our bikes comes from the Air Suction Valve which is a one way valve that is part of this system.
Any other tips, or ideas to create more FREE HP would be greatly appreciated.
I like my bike fast... and my women even faster!
