Rejetting - A few quick questions.....

Ok. The ZX10 is going to get rejetted to suit the new exhausts (once I find
a set of stain-tunes, seeing as stain-tune aren't returning my calls (very
inproffessional - bad kudos for them!)), ignition advancer, and filter.

I rang doin' bikes at Lansvale(?) to ask them about it.

They said it would be _about_ $250 to dyno-tune the carbs.

This was to rejet it but _NOT_ using a dynojet kit.

He also said that if I wanted a Dynojet kit, that would be an extra $190
bucks, but it wasn't worth the money, as they would only end up using the
main jets, as the needles and pilot jets are always too rich in them.

Has anyone had any experience with Doin' Bikes? (Good, bad or indifferent.)

Is $250 for rejetting a fair price?

Has anyone any experience with Dynojet kits, particularily with the problem
described above?

why do you want to rejet ? what makes you think it needs it ?

 

I know a few people that use them rather than a certain Kawasaki shop in
Wollongong. Not that really means anything.

They are also involved in road racing, so if joined a club, they'd probably
look after you _better_.

My stance on that price, is that it is steep, but I always haggle.

Why don¹t you do 'em yourself? Do you really need it done a dyno?

Bought any $2000 bikes lately?

 

Probably 'cause the gearings all wrong...

I reckon he needs to split the cases.

I had this done on my gixxer. I got 4 runs on the dyno and replacement jets
for $350. But I was using Pod filters.

But I would take it on the Dyno before shelling out the $$$ for the complete
kit as you will find the bike will run fine with standard jetting.

 

My stance on that price, is that it is steep, but I always haggle.

'Cause I don't have a sniffer, and I'd rather spend a bit of
money to get it right. ($250 only covers 3-4 sets of spark plugs if I get it
horribly wrong doing it at home.)

 

why do you want to rejet ? what makes you think it needs it ?

'Cause it has a whopping flat-spot between 3 and 4 krpm, and so
that I can get the best out of the filter, pipes, and advancer. At $250, it
seems like pretty cheap performance gains to me.

(Oh, and no I don't need to split the f**king cases. Have you
got any idea just how many seals I would need to replace to do that!!!)

James blew a seal?

 

Nah- had an ice cream!

Daron

 

very kinki , now about that seal he blew.

 

That¹s a typo, please tell me it is?! 16 plugs for 250 bucks? Nah, must be
atypo!

No such thing as horribly wrong, its all a learning experience.

Irridiam Plugs. Expensive.

Actually, it's more like 12.

Am not sure I'm going to keep using them on the ZX10 though. (They make a
noticable difference in the car, and the GPX, but I'm not sure that they do
on the ZX10.)

 

Oh, James. Naughty. Who and why, do tell.....

See I originally got them for the Porsche (it's an early 944, so the
cold-idler circuit is f**ked) on the recommendation of SVM (I kinda take
note of what they say).

They made a HUGE difference to the idling, especially when cold, and I also
felt (although this was probably more my brain trying to justify the cost)
that it was a bit more responsive.

I tried them in the GPX when I was having idling issues. I use them in it
now, basically, to help at idle, and to stop them burning out.

I figured I may as well give them a go on the ZX10 as well, but I'm not sure
how much benefit there is.

 

Hmmm, sounds like the go for the Pig. Owmucharrthay?...

Lots.

Like $20ish a plug.

The last a LOT longer than normal plugs though, and don't get any carbon
build-up on them.

I don't know that they last long enough to pay for themselves on their own
without the other benefits, but they would last easily 2-3 times as long as
a normal plug.

 

How long does a normal plug last? Mine have been in for at least 2 years
(my bloody mechanic changes them whenever he gets his filthy paws on the
bike), and the last time I had them out, in my last spring service, the gap
was still spot-on.

time wise ? km wise ?

i guess it also has a lot to do with the ignition system that is being used

over time despite plugs looking ok , they require more voltage to fire
as they become older which becomes a problem with vehicles with
weak ignition systems

cmon Gary whats it all of $4 a plug

still on the lookout for a decent plug tester anyone seen anything ?
