I own a motorcycle shop called Proven Power Cycles and do A LOT of ECU flashing/dyno tuning along with performance work on motorcycles.
I created this channel mainly to show motorcycle related videos, how to videos, educational videos about tuning, tips on making your bike faster, answering common questions and more!
If you love my videos then I encourage you to hit the like and subscribe buttons so more of my content pops up on your screen! 🙏
Feedback is always welcome so I can cater towards you guys to provide more videos to help you out!
Very Strange. I ride my Tracer 900GT since new , it has 59000km (37000miles more or less) it's serviced every 6000 miles, , and engine doesn't have any oil comsumption. Ok, i don't ride it hard but i don't ride it slow either. So very strange
@nunofjantunes wheelies create excessive oil consumption. He admitted to doing it frequently. The oil pickup struggles to get the proper amount of oil and pressure to the critical components and over time it chews away at bearings and journals in the motor. You get metal on metal and eventually wngine failure.
@keith6108 they are all relatively the same when comparing with penta carbon. We know the CT will help pull top end a little more but penta and m4 are similar in regards to hp numbers.
Good to know you guys are safe and sound! ❤ EDIT: It's cool that you're updating your customers and you're humble. Respect! Most bike tuning shops here in PR are run by arrogant people.
Yo E, I'm glad that you and the guys are safe and sound. I worry about my cousin Christian and his family every time a storm hits your area. I really appreciate all the hard work and attention to detail that you guys guys put in.
Glad you guys are ok👍🏻 I live in Florida too…the Orlando area! Wish I still had my 2016 Suzuki gsx-s1000 for you guys to tune but……I don’t anymore🤦🏼♂️😞 miss it though
Is it against some agreement for you to just use a BT-Moto tune who specializes in the Italian bike or the Open Flash Tablet from Europe? Also, I really wish I lived close enough to let Yager get his hands on my Z H2.
i have a dumb question, i bought a used zx-6r 5k miles i was wondering how do i find out what was done to the bike performance wise i think my cats are deleted but i was told all i have done is a slip on
All my header bolts was bent also brand new bike dude and a couple of them was loose and I mean I've could've took them out with my hand only it was a blessing 1st week of having it I decided to put a exhaust on it
I heard putting a J pipe on the turbo exhaust makes more power than a straight pipe. Please let me known if this is true. I believe Porsche figured this out with the 935 in the late 70s.
I prefer the Hindle full titanium exhaust. I had one on my 1996 GSX-R 750. I ordered a Hindle slip on for my 2008 GSX-R 750 a few days ago just for a beefier exhaust note.
Has anybody actually put a gsxr1000 k7 k8 motor in this bike yet? That would be a great set up, And for all the people who think k5K6 is better, you're wrong. The head on the 07 08 bike is much better, 175hp+ or-back wheel.
I promised myself i would never go back to Florida (i hate it for all my own reasons) but i can’t stop thinking about taking my zx14 for a over haul to you guys i wanna figure out how much this package costs complete probably gonna call yall tomorrow 😊
Hi Eric just watched this. Trying not to be an alarmist but just looking out for your safety. You need to watch the chain in the video. The slack is nuts. I watched a dyno run last week and the chain was not as loose as yours. It snapped on deceleration and come up and hit the operator's upper leg, butt, and back. No info on how he made out or condition of the chain and sprockets prior to the run. I realize you said there is only 767 miles on the bike. The chain and sprockets should be in excellent conditions.
@CharlesR.SteinruckIII the dyno really makes it look a lot worse than what it is truthfully. I agree I have seen some failures over the years but thank God nothing has happened to me yet. We usually do an inspection before we run it on syno to ensure it is okay visually to run and we're not going to encounter any issues 👍 I appreciate you looking out for me though and I'll keep that in mind for future dynos 🙌
Nice work, good color scheme.I think I'm going to pull the trigger on one before they become extinct. There's some really ugly freaky looking bikes being made right now. I've followed a lot of 14x mods and haven't heard of the oil mod you performed. Is it just extra insurance or a must have upgrade, I'm all for preventing or correcting weak links. 👍👏👏👏
ZX14R'S have a weak thin cast aluminum oil pump cover, a few companies make billet ones that don't flex and or crack like the stock one is susceptible to. The oil pressure relief valve is sometimes replaced as well , I believe from a stock 65 PSI to about 110 PSI.
@drdanimalsize not 100%, a guy on a ZX14R forum was having issues with his oil pressure light being on unless above a certain RPM, I recommended looking at the cover after he had done many things trying to resolve it, sure enough his cover was cracked. He had bought it used so he didn't know how the previous owner used it. I race mine and have the billet cover but haven't installed it yet.
@drdanimalsize there are a total of 3 oiling mods for the 14r. The 1st one is the oil pump plate. The oem cast one flexes at higher rpm, dropping oil pressure. So harder riding has the ability to flex the plate more which can cause pressure drop in motor (this causes issues like spun rod bearings, cam journal scoring, worn out buckets, etc). The second would be a high oil pressure relief valve. This valve opens when it hits certain pressure number to allow oil to dump back into the oil pan. The oil pressure valve helps to reduce engine issues by increasing oil pressure from the standard of 70psi to over 110psi. This keeps the oil all inside the motor and makes sure it is covering all areas more adequately! The last is the oil pump gear. Switching this increases the amount of oil pushed throughout the motor also. The major 2 to swap are the relief valve and the cover though. Keeping your oil level high and these two items will help ensure safety to your motor if you plan on abusing it 👍👍
Another awesome video! Love the zx14’s! Always wondered why those big engines don’t make more horsepower than that? It’s a lot don’t get me wrong as I love mine as well, just seems most of the liter bikes put down very similar horsepower numbers with over 400cc less engine. Obviously the big 14 engine has a huge torque advantage, just curious as to what holds it back on making more horsepower? Keep the great videos coming, always look forward to them👍🏻
A company called Carpenter Racing does performance packages for these bikes. They start with head porting and a cam. You can pick up 20-35 wheel hp with just that. They also advertise a 5-7hp increase when paired with bored throttle bodies. From there they start boring out the engine and stroking it. Seems the biggest limitation is the head and cam. Probably designed like that for mostly emissions and partly drivability since the bike is so heavy, moving the torque curve down makes sense. The ZX14 (previous gen 06-11) often swap in the ZX14r (current gen 12-24) cam to get a couple more HP.
@@danielminton8084 ok cool, thanks for the info! I have heard people swapping the first gen head and cams for a second gen as well. I have a 2023 so I’m good there lol.
Kawasaki could have made the 14 a super high strung, high revving inline 4 like the liter bikes but chose not to. If you look at the liter bikes, they are redlining much higher and make all of their power up top. The 14 in stock trim really safety redlines at "only" 11k RPM or so. The 14 makes similar power but with almost 40lb ft of torque more than the liter bikes. With a different cam and head setup, you can move that power up top at the cost of low end power.
