98 performance

All the stuff. Under the air box those sensors and canister do you guys just delete that stuff?

 

yeah dude
just about all the extra bullshit on my bike is gone.
only dead weight i got is the center stand and passenger pegs. (pretty much manditory to keep the polished wheels shiny)
... dont get rid of the MAP and AIT sensors! lol

 

there is a sensor on the back right of the air box with a vacum line that runs into the throttle bodies main body, t

 

thats probly the manifold absolute pressure sensor, MAP sensor. deffinetely need that lol.

just get rid of the shit associated with the flapper, pair valves, and evap canister.

 

Well I've already dumped all of the canister deal and the flapped valve and eval stuff. Fired up the bike and no fi light so I guess I done something right now on to finish the delinking or the brakes.

 

Has anyone quantified the gains associated with eliminating the "junk"? Sometimes I wonder if that does more harm than good. Oh God, am I really getting that old?

 

welcome to the forum new guy...you'll find many helpful things and ideas here....


whats reg....you don't write ...you don't return messages.....HEHEH hope you holidays were good

 

one possitive... it sure makes oil changes with the 3.5 inch automotive filter a whole lot easier!

 

Meh, what harm does it do? It keeps aftermarket companies in business. And it keeps people out of the bars, gives them something to argue about, and probably makes some people feel good about themselves, all positives

When viewed from that perspective, its really unimportant whether you actually did anything or are just fooling around. Improvement is in the eye of the beholder. Even when youre talking about hard numbers.

Careful though, casting any doubt on anything around here will get you slapped with the curmudgeon tag pretty quick.

 

trust me, vfr fi computers make no adjustments

 

I'm not suggesting that it does, but rather that it can. For example, the valves in newer bike's headers help to improve midrange performance. Aftermarket exhaust companies have a tough time beating them with a system that does not have a valve. Now, I understand that the flapper valve is primarily for airbox noise. I guess that I've just seen it many times where people take a bunch of stuff off the engine, vacuum lines and such, with the goal of a couple extra "free" hp and end up with something that doesn't run right.

I guess as I was reading I wondered if anyone had already done this with good results.

 

The short answer is yes.

It works and it really cleans things up.

 

Well if there are no gains no big deal it doesn't look like a cluster f@#$ in there now

 

Here is my take on this, based upon my experiences. I don't believe that just doing one thing like removing the evap canister will provide any noticeable gain. What I do think works is using all of these things as part of a well thought out, and properly tuned, package of mods.

I haven't dyno'd since the airbox and tank were insulated, or the engine work was performed. I too am interested to see what kind of a number it can throw down. Just don't seem to have time for it right now.
