Ivan, will you be doing an ignition map for the ZX-10R once the Dynojet ignition module is available? Do you know if there are any differences in the factory fuel or ignition mapping between '04 and '05 on this bike, and how will this affect aftermarket maps? Thanks for your continued support of the ZX-10R.

He's got to make a living just like me & you...if you can afford it get it if you can't than just do what i did & unhook the cables everything works fine...no FI light.
Killer - it is not about what I can afford, it is about value.

The $110.00 plus shipping item removes a small servo that is hidden under a panel.

Imagine you tried to sell your temp canapies for $50,000.00 each.

Would you tell a customer that "hey I have to make a living, just but it" ???

I doubt you would. Everything has a cost to value relationship.

The percieved value needs to be equal to the cost in order to make a sale.

That is how shit works. I value the servo remover to be around $20.00

I really wanted this part to make room for the upcomming ignition module when I was told it would be about $40. I understand the first batch was "bad" so I assume the dramatic increase in price is to cover the loss on the first batch he could sell. Chock it up to r&d I guess. I'll just wait untill the ignition module and tuning for it comes out and maybe the price will have dropped by then.

You guys are awful...

I don't pass on R&D costs... EVER !!

Maybe this is the practice of some of my competitors, but I have never done this and it really pisses me off when someone who doesn't know me makes assumptions like this...

The first batch was just a simple device....it would still turn the FI light on under certain conditions. And it was a very small quantity...
(not much money loss at all)

You guys don't know how complicated it is to make a part that simulates what an electric motor does as far as resistance and current draw, and polarity reversal.... (all to prevent the FI light from coming on)

This part is way more complicated than you think it is, and it is very labor intensive to assemble.

If you feel it is not worth the expense, then don't buy it....

But don't ever say or insinuate that I have passed unnecessary expenses onto the customer because you don't feel it's worth the money.

<<<If you feel it is not worth the expense, then don't buy it....>>>

Actually I feel it IS worth the expense and did buy one yesterday. Monday. I hope to have it Thursday this week. We shall see if it works as advertised. If so, nice to get rid of that space wasting piece of junk.

IN our world it is 100 a hp and 50 per lb...so if it saves 2 lbs it is right in the line of every other part you would buy. Honestly, I was hoping it wasn't that expensive, but think about the stupid exhaust hangers we buy for 100+ and how simple they are to make once a carbon mold has been created!!!

Ivan, I wasn't hat'n. I was just saying that when someone develops a product they put in the time, effort, material, trial & error, etc. and they SHOULD be compensated for the work. I didn't mean to imply that you were "unjustly" trying to jack up prices. Just trying to explain to others why I thought the cost was higher than expected. sorry if it sounded wrong.

not the valve we are removing but the actuator motor...I want to be able to put my PCIII and ignition module there so I can again use my trunk for a bottle of water, etc. If you remove it now you will get an FI light. This isn't high on my to-do list, but it will be done sometime this summer/fall.

I have my PC3 sitting in that spot along with the servo motor.

It fits fine.

I can take a pic for you if you like.

Ivan - no I do not know how much is involved in making the electronics work. All I know is the servo motor is small, light, and doesn't bother me at all.

+1 for the pics, I was going to remove the other electrical connectors that are to the right of the actuator but decided against it...miykl did it that way but I though I would then have to grind them off etc.
