New member from Denmark!

Post by SKMXL »

Hi!

Now I been on the forum for some time and now it's time to say hi!

I bought my first VTR 2 months ago! I got 700 km on it before the season ended the 30. November.

It's a low mileage bike from 1999 with nearly 11000 km on the clock and of course it's black with red decals.

I am so exited for the comming season and in the winter I have a lot of plans.
This is my plans:
M-cct's
New oil
Kn oil filter
Kn air filter
Pirelli ANGEL GT front and rear tire
Belly pan.
NGK iridium spark plugs

Most of it is already bought and ready to mount. Just need the time.
Drive safe!

Hello and welcome .
If it's got a standard air filter fitted ,just replace it with a new one unless you want to get it jetted on a dyno

If your going to fit open cans too then a dyno set up is a must

Yes i know. Just don't know if the kn will give any effect without open cans?

I know both kn and cans will need dyno.

Oh it will !.
The k&n on its own will mess it right up .
It'll run rich like you won't believe (yes rich as this bikes ain't normal. The more air you give them the richer they run).
I've had best results with a standard filter and rejected for open cans .

So you are saying that the kn alone is a bad investment even if it gets on a dyno?

Don't know what you mean by running rich?

Hi there and welcome :wave:

Nice to see a newbie clued up meaning on the ball:)

No matter what open cans or not if you fit a K&N filter you will need to rejet regardless. Start off with CCT's and reg rec get that right then move on :D :D :D

That's a shame , if you fit it you will need to rejet for it and it won't gain you any extra ggs .

The r/r on the early models fail , check to see if yours has cooking Fins ,if it has it should be ok but it's also worth while checking the output .
