papac2000 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Took about 2hrs for me to do. Took a few pics. May not have much for documentation, but 1 tip from a friend that was helpful. Made a minor airbox lid mod while I was in there too.

papac2000 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Turning the tank backwards with everything connected was a good idea a friend of mine suggested. The piece of foam is to protect the bike, although I'm sure towels would work. 2015 Matte Grey Modded stock exhaust, modded stock screen, modded stock seat, OEM heated grips, LED indicators, FlashTuned ECU, ZX10R shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papac2000 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Airbox off, vacuum lines connected. The bypass screw for cyl #1 (far left in pic), is painted white. It is the reference, and the other two are to match its readings. 2015 Matte Grey Modded stock exhaust, modded stock screen, modded stock seat, OEM heated grips, LED indicators, FlashTuned ECU, ZX10R shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papac2000 Posted May 9, 2015 Author Share Posted May 9, 2015 Ever the tinkerer, I noticed the airbox inlet tube was quite close to the bottom of the airbox. It used to be straight across, I cut 1in lower on the side nearest the air filter and angled it back to the uncut side which is right next the front of the box. I think this could help the air turn instead of slamming into the floor. Only the dyno will tell I guess. 2015 Matte Grey Modded stock exhaust, modded stock screen, modded stock seat, OEM heated grips, LED indicators, FlashTuned ECU, ZX10R shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wonder why Yamaha wouldn't have done that if it is an improvement? Look forward to hearing what your results on the dyno show. If it's an improvement, that would be something anyone could easily do.

quicksilver Posted May 9, 2015 Share Posted May 9, 2015 Did yours require any adjustment and what mileage? I just did my first at 2100 mi and no adjustment was required. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

papac2000 Posted May 10, 2015 Author Share Posted May 10, 2015 Did yours require any adjustment and what mileage? I just did my first at 2100 mi and no adjustment was required. 1800kms. Was pretty close, was nitpicking really to make any adjustments, but since I had gone that far, I made small tweaks. I also noted however that just off idle there was a bit greater disparity than at closed throttle, so I took that into consideration as well. 2015 Matte Grey Modded stock exhaust, modded stock screen, modded stock seat, OEM heated grips, LED indicators, FlashTuned ECU, ZX10R shock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Twenty bucks says cutting that thing an inch or less from the lid (and subsequent dyno reflash) will net 5-10 HP by itself (and will make the intake sound amazing).

cricket1 Posted May 11, 2015 Share Posted May 11, 2015 Possibly cutting that intake will net the improvement gregman noted. Or maybe not... at all. See Yamaha has a bunch of engineers whose job is it to get the most out of something, within the given parameters. Some times those parameters include noise and EPA regs that we typically care little about, so mucking around with stuff can yield real improvements. Other times bikes get all hacked up, and actually lose power. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
