Re: More controversial pipe info


Sort of related to this, but either March or April BIKE magazine did a story on partial throttle dyno runs (20%, 40%, 60% openings). They did some comparisons between '08 and '06 ZX-14 and the newest GSX-R1000 vs the previous gen.

On paper, the '08 Kawasaki ZX-14 doesn't look like it was changed much but the partial throttle dyno runs look very different. The '08 ZX-14 supposedly has a lot more urgency at partial openings. While the GSX-R actually got a little softer (taming it).

I only got a pipe to distance my bike from the sewing machine syndrome. I'm trying to decide if it made my bike run too lean...snatchy throttle...I may have to go back to stock. That's all just my guess/feeling...
