  • Q?: What do you get when you combine a “Tech Talk” with a “Stock 2 Brock” using a 2017 Kawasaki Z900 ABS project bike...with a little Covid thrown in for good measure?
    A: You get a single INFORMATION PACKED episode! (Note: First ride reaction video posted here: • Unedited footage of Jo... )
    Working backward from his traditional DIY vids, Brock explains the products and techniques used to achieve outstanding performance improvement’s out of his buddy Josh’s already finished 2017 Z900 ABS. Using The Brock’s Performance Playlist ‘Official 2017 GSX-R1000 S2B: Stock to Brock Video Library of Gixzilla mods from truly stock to Super Stock’ (bit.ly/2YV8YEG) as a guide, Brock quickly and efficiently uses the techniques demonstrated in the playlist to uncover some surprising results.
    As Brock likes to say “the spelling on the tank doesn’t matter”. Use this episode as a guide to help improve the performance of ANY modern motorcycle.
    Subjects covered:
    Full Performance Exhaust: bit.ly/3bg06j5
    Sprint Filter P08 F1-85: bit.ly/3qps0xr
    Dynojet Power Commander V (PCV): bit.ly/3rg6MmE

    Thanks Brock for deeper insight into this process. My Z900 has the K&N filter, Akrapovic stainless pipes, SC Project slip on, Dynojet PC V & Autotune, and your HD clutch springs. Same end product, more powerful, smoother, lighter, better sounding. Don't have a dyno so absolute numbers is anybody's guess. I think I burnt my Autotune (I'm not the best electrician) so got some fixing to do plus adjusting the A/F ratio in time.

    Hey Brock! I've now come back to this video 3-4 times just to reprocess and dive deeper on your expertise in order to get the most out of my own 2021 z900 :) Thanks for such an awesome exhaust, and spending your time detailing your thoughts and process. I'd like to pose a question you may find interesting. Do you think the z900 would benefit from an airbox mod? Perhaps a larger intake opening, more holes? I know the sprint filter didn't get as much gain as it does on super sports- but would a mod like some have suggested (Ivan's Performance) for the z900rs, which involved drilling 8 7/8th inch holes on parts of the airbox, would let the engine take in more air? The z900rs seems to get a solid 5 hp just from this. Would do z900 gain some as well? I'd love to hear your thoughts.

    • @BrockDavidson
      @BrockDavidson  2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      @Balaji Rajan - it's possible you would see gains, but not necessarily by "increasing flow". The amount of air introduced into your inlets is simple math.... meaning, is there enough area (in sq.inches) in your airbox opening(s) to feed the area of your inlet(s) AKA: worst case 1 inlet, as engines breath one cylinder at a time, to best case, the combined area of all 4 inlets. In most cases, there is ample area to fill the cylinders on modern sportbikes and ram air helps makes smaller inlets act like they have more area. The problem with some bikes is that the inlets are positioned directly above the engine (due mainly to cut cost by removing ram air and it's associated components--or simply for aesthetics.) which forces them to inhale hot air off of the top of the engine. Please Note: For every 10 degree's F your inlet temp rises, there is a 2%-3% reduction in power. This means that if the new additional holes still allow the air filter to do it's job, it's possible to force cooler fresher air into the inlets as a result of the positioning of the holes. Before ram air, some crafty tuners would run ducts from the front of the bike back to the airbox inlets. Hope this helps - BD

    128 hp and about 74 ft-lb. Very noyce! The engine was sublimely smooth from factory as it was, I'm betting that only got more balanced and smoothed. In the old days, it really helped the inline-4 engines to vacuum balance carburetors according to the need of each cylinder. What sort of balancing exists these days between throttle bodies? Is there a long or short answer?

You said in the video that 9 bikes out of 10 will make more power on 89 than 93. So if that is the case, I should be running 89? Save me money too lol!

      Correct - 89 makes more power and costs less. Your Z900 is low compression - they say 90 to cover their ass. In the real world, it has to be able to run on the lowest quality 87 and not eat itself up in the process.

Won't all the settings and data be different with colder air and more being forced thru the bikes system ? Will U need to remap or retune everything again ? Love to know results differences on road vs on a dyno for actual gains or performances ??? Pls !!! Also in my country the same Z900 2019 model I have had to run on our 98 octane petrol.

      To cover their asses. More octane = more insurance against engine failure if you come across a batch of bad gas or run your bike WOT for an hour...neither happen in the real world and they don't care if it costs you more $ at the pump to help them prevent a warranty repair.
