Pods on F.I.

I may end up using a different Air Temp sensor. If I don't use it, you can have it. I won't know for a little while yet.

Here's my punched out throttle bodies with thin plates.

I have one of the Kawasaki TPS adjusters, complete with flashing lites and all. Larry's suggestion is a good one but not perhaps suited for folks like me who loose the factory adjustment.

Any way, I'd gladly loan it out to help an old KZ.

Hay Larry, what did that set you back. Do you have any opinion on my head work on mi Thread. kzrider.com/index.php?option=com_kunena&...w&catid=11&id=169462

I am an avid visitor to your web sight and have quoted you quite a few times here.

My way IS the factory support way. No kidding! HotLine told us way back to take that silly flashing light tool and chuck it!

You really don't need that thing at all.

We tested it out because we were curious. We set one with the tool and then set it the manual way. Bike ran better with our manual adjustment.

Think about it. That tool was made for stock motor and EPA. It doesn't know / care about different cams, airbox removed, header....etc.

Otto,

96CFM is a nice street head. You did a nice job.

The bore on the throttle bodies was free. Good friend did them for me. Stock TBs flow about as well as a CV carb of same size. Pogue TBs flowed 143CFM @10".

Stock 83 TB w/o stack 114.7
Stock 83 TB with Stack 125.8
Sid Pogue bored throttle bodies with stack 143

Last September when I spoke with Sid, he would still do the throttle body bore.

This means that the stock throttle bodies should be more than adequate for my application since the head will flow about the same as the stock TBs? Or am I wrong to presume so. I do not have a welded crank and do not make a habit of dropping the clutch. I may accelerate briskly, but fluently. Did you ever get that linkage for the shift lever? I emailed you a couple of times to let you know that I had one, but you never answered.

Anyone know if there are after market controllers available for these older systems?

Otto

Love to get this on bike of the month one day- if it deserves it of course.

Megasquirt is a good DIY programmable EFI computer that can do it.

What is the price for these control units and how can I find out if they will work for my application? How do you mate them to the stock Kawasaki DFI harness?

Everything I can find out on their web sight is about cars. There is nothing mentioned about bikes. That I can find, at least. I am totally new to the DFI world and I will require quite a bit of help with something like Megasquirt. I would have no problem with a "Plug and Play" system like the stock Kawasaki. And i would have no problems implementing modifications as I go along, but to start from total scratch, I am to much of a novice to DFI, for that.
