Mmmmm, Spring is in the air.....fresh rubbers all 'round.

Wait......that didn't sound right.......

 

oh yes it did!

 

Agreed

 

those that have had a zx10 what kind of mpg did you get with it?

 

not including speedo errors....Stock- I was averaging 43-44mpg, that was with a couple of 180 ish runs for "carbon removal" purposes. It dropped to 37mpg now that the kit ecu and dyno adjustments were done. (It has not been on the street for a few yrs now. I only add a couple of gallons when needed in the pits before another run) This is all between 4000-5000 ft elevation.

 

I'm getting about 34-37 mpg combined city and freeway. I know the bike is running really rich. I need to find a tune to put on the PC3. My friend who had an 05 says even with the slip-on and K&N I don't really need a pc3. The slip-on I have is a street pipe and not a race pipe so its not to loud a plus for me.
I need to find some one who is a good artist to do a drawing for me to make into a decal to put on my lid to replace the honda stickers I have and possibly make into a tattoo later.
After looking at the speedo healer website according to their online calculator my speedo is only off 2.5% so I'm ok with that kind of error and wont buy a speedo healer.

 

That is a true statement from your friend (you really do not need a pc3), but obviously having your pc3 tuned would be beneficial since you already know that it is burning rich with a mid 30 mpg ride. True, this is not "damaging" the engine badly except for sooting everything up from the pistons, valves, plugs, and the entire exhaust system. That is how carbon deposits form and will lead to engine issues later on. Spend the $200 for a tune on the dyno and get it over with.

 

sup monkies?

 

When I hit up that lower elevation track, I did note that my gal ran like a raped ape but demanded more than what I was used to, fuel stops. She was thirsty!

 

sup deej? get all of that IT stuff completed?
