Klxster, thanks for the input, i was aware going into the mod that i may have to disable or remove the KACR if hot starting became an issue. So far, after a few days of riding, i have not had any hot starting issues but i will do some testing and post an update in the next few days.

 

mine (2009 EFI model ) was pig to start when hot, so the KACR had to get disabled

 

Yank it out, saves more weight than pulling the pollution system, plus it is rotating mass that eats a bit of power - not noticeable, but does none the less.

 

do not have acess to a press atm

may ask a local shop if they can help

 

FYI: I easily removed my KACR with a long drift (big punch) and a small sledge hammer. The problem is providing a proper support for the cam while you're banging away at the KACR.. I quickly created a "clam shell collar" to go around the cam to support it while "drifting out" the KACR..

Point is, removing the KACR can be done by anyone, with only a few tools..

 

TY for the tip
may just do it at work then since i can grab a copper rod and hold it with some wood in a vice (being careful)

 

 

 

Nothing anymore. Our knowledge has made KACR retiming a thing of the past. Before we knew better, retiming the KACR was the way to restore hot starting once the MCM was done.. Now days, just pull the spring off of it or drift it off the cam and put it in the attic..

 

i think this was mentioned at some point in the thread, but the pictures in the original post are no longer there. im sure i can figure it out just by reading, but some pictures would be nice to confirm i did it correctly. anyone know what happened? im sure marcelino didnt delete them
