Dynamometer Appointment Scheduled

I have a pull-test (not a tuning session) scheduled for the 82 KZ1100 first-thing next week at Fox Powersports, located in Wyoming, Michigan.


Thoughts or suggestions?

New plugs ( gapped )
Make sure tires are good or they may not want to run it.
No Chain so no worries there.
Generally go over bike so it goes well

Check...

Other than regular gas, the spark plugs turn black with carbon.
Regarding the exhaust, would the Competition baffle let a few more stallions out?

If plugs turn black fast motor is to fat (rich )
Comp baffle should add minor amount of power but their are NO absolutes in what will happen .
That is why folks use dynos , To separate the claims from reality

I'll leave well-enough alone for now, and stick-it with the Street baffle. There are no decel pops or pre-ignition pings that I detect. She feels strong, and idle is settled and quiet...completely loving the carb setup.

No-sense fixing a problem that doesn't exist, only to make one that can't be.

Good luck.

Sounds like fun... have always though I would do it someday.... how many pulls...if 3 maybe you could do 2 with the street baffle and 1 with the comp to see if it adds a HP ??

Are they gonna read your air/fuel mixture too ? I found a place around my area that will do a basic pull and give me a reading on the air/fuel to give me a idea where my jetting is. 50 bucks..... or another for 95 for 3 pulls. Am looking forward to hearing what they tell you.

I believe it will cost $50 for three pulls. If I had $350 to blow out the baffle, I'd have her dyno-tuned.

Considering the performance mods I've made to this engine (much with KZR Forum guidance), would anyone venture to guess what the HP result could be?

Cool lets make it a contest...... could be a mile off but I say 105.5 HP and am hoping for more.

Go with the comp baffle! Just to enjoy the sound! Nothing like those old 1 of a kind sounds of a Z1-KZ engine with an open pipe.
I love this video, it's old from 2010.
Watch this and get your adrenaline going!

Then watch the "AFRO DOGS" & the "FALCONS" leaving their clubhouse for a malt liquor and reefer run!
Damn motorcycle gangs! We used to go their on Jefferson Ave. in the city of Buffalo in the 70's and party!
