Yea... almost same kit as the -09 motor but diffrent airbox and charge pipe... same HP numbers tho ? ...okay 195hp vs 200hp... but still ?

I had no idea such a thing existed.

I been following them for a few years now, phenomenal stuff... a handful of teams in Australia are drag racing turbo -09...on paper a turbo -09 will beat a turbo -10 in a drag race unless the -10 losses about 50# ... and my desire to build a turbo -09 is only getting stronger...

Did you see the FZ10 turbo?wow!

Was finally able to take my bike out for an actual spin... I cannot believe how much more smoother the power got compared to stock, i thought the motor was snappy like a built 2 stroke ?...its power way smoother than KY gel...compared to my FZ-07 you feel the power at all times due to the nature of the -07 motors, a 4 banger like a crotch rocket is smooth then in the upper rpms it hits...with this little 3 cylinder, i really cannot feel the power push me around, i cannot even tell a diffrence yet if the bike is in ECO mode or not since i have no more closed loop fueling due to Woolich Race Kit...i tried to get a sound clip of the ride but my jacket pocket was a bad location till the wind noises overpowered the microphone...will try other locations...im only doing sound clips, no need for a video with potential incriminating evidence ?... Sadly i cannot really comment on sound, i need my buddy for that but with limited hearing it sounds so heavenly with a side of racing DNA and makes you giggle when you snap the throttle
 
Graves w/Woolich Race Kit should be a factory option!!!!

Finally got the ECU back...Them Graves Pipes belt out a heavenly chorus that can rival the Mythical Sirens Call of greek mythology...Woolich Race Kit( up/down quick shift and Launch Control) and Graves Exhaust is the way to go... After a quick 15 min trip across this small sleepy town i am gonna have to turn TCS off if i wanna get into my " zone ", the new exhaust and ECU upgrades make it waaaayyy to easy for me to light up the TCS under certain conditions where i dont want TCS to engage...

No problem... Its probably cheaper if we can put a value on weight reduction...whats a good refund value on shedding 12# by removing the EPA tumor?

In the USA we go by rear wheel horsepower unless stated its flywheel horsepower, typically its a 15% difference in flywheel HP and rear wheel horsepower due to transmission...so its like 135ish+ HP at the flywheel if I have 119HP at the rear wheel...and yes the EPA is our horsepower neutering agency and the fact US spec ECU have a 5th and 6th gear speed limiter... Majority of US owners reflash the ECU and it will be 99% identical to EU spec if i recall correctly...

My math tells me its a 16HP increase over bone stock @ 103HP... So its 15.5% increase in power... Bout $100 per 1% increase in power...
 
Exhaust was $1050
Woolich Race Kit was $450
2wdw services was $250
 
 
 
 

Just broke the news to my bike its ECU is on its ways back from 2wdw...Nels worked his magic and hit 119HP!!!!!  
 
Yeaaa 119HP ?

Nice!! Thats with the Graves exhaust?

Yes and its used with Woolich Race Kit instead of FlashTune...

Yeaaa 119HP to the rear wheel ?
Stock is 103HP to the rear wheel ?

I was able to do it all from the front thru the radiator opening after I got it to drop far enough, i used the Graves plates and the AIS is disabled via SCU ... already had the tank off to pull ECU...

As a teen I watched Ricky Carmichael, Ryan Villopoto, Chad Reed, Kevin Windham, James Stewart, Nick Wey, and a few others who are still racing today 16yrs later!!! I can still recall the time James Stewart was the only one on a 2 stroke in his class just dominating the brand shiny new 4 strokes...That was the end of the 2 stroke era and the start of 4 stroke era...

I just found out this morning the Motocross Of Nations 2018 (MXoN) will be held at none other than RRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEDDDDDDDDDDBBBBBBBBBUUUUUUUUUUUDDDDDD!!! Ya know Redbud ?, last 3yrs I have gone to Redbud during 4th of July weekend to watch the outdoor AMA MX series and the night races ?... now I get the chance to see what is basically the best of the best in motocross duel in my backyard, well a short 2.5hr drive away...

Thats close to Buckeye Land ?
 
 
Just kidding...I live just north of Grand Rapids...I spend alot of time riding around Grand Traverse, tunnle of trees, made a nice detour just near end of fall up to Detour Michigan on my little FZ-07...
I also got a WR250F I use for the trails, mainly Cedar Creek when it's nice and muddy ?
This year I will be doing all road trips on the FJ-09

I signed up for a track day from Fox PowerSports outta Grand Rapids...

Im going on June 2nd @ Grattan in the novice class...
 
This will be my first time ever running on a track...I have done a few motos in Motocross over the years for fun and have put many laps in at the US 131 dragstrip on my FZ-07( fastest pass was on a 25°F day running 1/8 mile only @ 7.83 sec from 2nd gear start ?)... I havent decided which bike im using yet, either the FZ-07 or the FJ-09... Currently leaning towards the FZ-07, its a 380# bundle of torque ? 
 
 

Here is the first edition I seen of a specific yoshi exhaust for the FJ, had to go back alost 2yrs of postings to find this... http://shop.yoshimura-jp.com/en/product/syousai.php?id=16657... high mount, old style, probably be in the way of saddle bags..

Rode my FZ-07, the FJ is still waiting on the ECU... These virgin Q3 tires on the -07 need to be broken in...why cant they ship the tires already broken in ?

Broke the news to my bike she will be getting her ECU back next week if the weather is good for dyno tuning... I'm getting excited to hear the Graves Exhaust I got bolted on and I'm really curious to see how the Woolich Race Kit stacks up against the other flash tunes because the Woolich system disables the closed loop fueling ?, hopefully that blasted ECO mode gets "tuned out", had plenty of adventures tuning my FZ-07 only to learn the hard way that ECO mode fuel table is piece of work that will defeat a fuel tuner device, had to have my PCV ignore the entire ECO mode range so I could tune my FZ-07...
 
Woolich Race Kit is basicly a Quickshifter that works on up shifts, auto blipping on downshifts and 2 step Launch Control...nice little piece of technology ?

Im not a big fan of wheelies in what i consider when one rides thru traffic on one wheel with 5 go pros on...im talking like when the front wheel gets about knee high hitting high speed bumpy fire roads on my dirt bike, thats a wheelie to me, it feels controlled and doesn't catch me off guard...does it happen on my 2 roads bikes? sure if i hit the train crossing bump in town at the right speed it will loft the front wheel knee high, thats a wheelie in my book...
 
Your best way to learn is on a used 250F sized dirt bike...they can take abuse of learning to wheelie mistakes and the dirt is soft compared to the Thors Hammer hardness of the asphalt... As for technique, there are one too many ways to accomplish that...

I brought my Givi handguards from ModuleMoto.co.UK and they are the shettiest company I ever done business with...they never update website if products is outta stock, nor do they tell you after your order is placed it's outta stock,took me 7 emails to try to get no response but I had to sic PayPal on em and sure enough they finally respond within hrs because I wanted my money back after 3 weeks of no responses, they sent em out the next day but offered no apologies or anything... Avoid ModuleMoto.co.UK ....

My first choice was Arrow Exhaust, i love how it meshes with the bike but with Graves in 2nd place...after talking to Nels at 2wdw he told me they make almost identical power and curves but the Arrow had to run unbaffled and the Graves had same power rather it was baffled or not...hmmm i must be getting old at 31 ? to say i will take the exhaust system that makes less noise for same power...also it was really helpful that 2wdw has its own FZ-09 with a Graves Exhaust system that Nels can build a tune for the Woolich Race Kit... the Woolich Race kit works pretty darn good with the stock exhaust map he created for the FJ-09 that I ran with for about month and a half(1,500miles) before winter reared it's ugly head...
 
 
Now what can we do about the big ole airbox... I would love to have an airbox like the one Hordpower crafted for the FZ-07 that I use...

 @piotrek I don't think it's needed for everyone but gotta remember the fz-09 has no center stand...it fits but the clearances were a little to close to comfort for me...the amount I clipped off the center stand stopper was probably 3mm...maybe a diffrent FJ-09 has a little more room... I would rather clip a little metal off than buy a new exhaust can when the center stand stop puts a little hole in my can...now I got a finger width gap around the exhaust can where it exits behind the foot rest and around the senterstand stop...would have not been an issue if center stand stop was on chain side or if Yamaha had the stopper closer to the foot rest or if I had a sponsor to buy me new stuff when I needed it ?

I removed my center stand pretty much immediately because I was dragging it, especially when I had a passenger. When I installed the M4 slip-on, I had to cut off part of the stopper to give the can clearance. If I hadn't already done so, I'd have had to have done it yesterday when installing the Yoshimura system. I repeatedly find myself thinking of the point you just made:  Why couldn't they have put the stopper on the chain side? One of the first mods many people make on any bike is the exhaust. Why put that stopper where it is and make exhausts that would otherwise be interchangeable with the FZ non-compatible with the FJ? I've been a loyal Yamaha fan for 20+ years. I don't want to believe that their engineers are that short-sighted.

Im not peeved or annoyed by any means...i know from enough experience wenching and building drag cars nothing is simply bolt on, some slight work may involved but the next guy or gal thinks " bolt on" means totaly the opposite...some ppl  may not feel comfortable doing such things... 
I even had to switch exhaust header pipes with left and right side on my FZ-07 even after i followed the instructions 15+ times for my LeoVince exhaust, the directions were wrong ?...
 
I cannot blame Yamaha for the center stand stopper location because it's hard to find a happy medium that suits every brand or style of exhaust or shape of exhuast can...
 
Bottom line is I'm still super happy I got this exhaust and cannot wait to hear it when my ECU comes back and I feel the slight modifications I did where purely to prevent pre mature wear and tear on such a beautiful piece of work...

Yes I'm surprised they allow pornograhpy on here ?... I wanna say the plastic cover should have been one of the " blacked out" nudie magazines mailing covers...
 
today after work this morning I was able to check it out more and had to make 2 very very minor modifications due to center stand since the fz-09 has none... first was the bumper stop on the center stand bottom right side which slightly hit the exhaust can when up and the 2nd modification was to toe nail clip the actual center stand stop... I used a big heavy hammer to pound the bumper stop on the center stand over to the right a bit...
 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 
 
 
Installed the exhaust...it was the easiest 20min mod I ever done, thats pulling the stock 12ton tumor, trick have the center stand down, to putting the new one on.... big thanks to Graves for having the for sight to pre assemble the exhaust headers to slip right in the stock location with out any fuss...once again I cannot believe how light it is and how much care went into crafting this piece of art, the welders and engineers at work had nothing but high high praise for how BEAUTIFUL and near perfect the welds are, like 99.9% perfect in my book... I also learned that the baffle makes no diffrence in HP/TQ rather it's in or out, so fuel mapping is the same for both, that's how an exhaust can supposed to work...now just gotta wait for Nels @ 2wdw to return the ECU from his laboratory, right now the exhaust is so loud you cannot hear it ?
