Hi all! Just wanted to share my recent purchase. Just picked up a 2005 10r a couple weeks ago in magma red with 3283 on the clock. I’ve been dreaming about owning a gen 1 for years and I finally pulled the trigger. Here are pics from the day I got her home. I couldn’t be happier!
Cost me $7500 🥴 not much of a steal or perfect but this is my favorite color, mileage was low and it seemed well kept up with. They want 6k right now for decent ones with 30k on them so oh well 🤷♂️ Had the tank off already and couldn’t see any in there. Didn’t check the filter while I was in there but she runs smooth. I want to upgrade the brakes soon.
👍 I don’t mind how loud the Voodoo is I just don’t want it to run like shit. I have a dyno appt on Saturday so we’ll see how she runs then I guess 🤷♂️
Put down 159 hp and 79 ft-lbs. Tuner said I'd probably have a couple more if I'd have just gotten 89 instead of spending $6.23 on 93 on my way over 😂 anyway all dyno's are different and I was more concerned about getting the right ratios. This thing rips considering I weigh about 140 lbs.
I’m under the impression that removing the secondaries just adds throttle response. Block off plates just allow it to be tuned by stopping the airflow into the exhaust that would allow any excess fuel to be burned. I thought the exhaust valve might add 1 or 2 because I thought it closed at higher rpm to keep emissions in check.
From the minimum research I just did it looks like that sounds about right. Opens more with more rpm. Apparently that’s just for throttle response as well. That’s impressive for the old Kawi!
Removing secondaries will give you a bit more top end at the cost of low end. Unlike popular belief secondaries are not there to restrict the bike: they are functional and help achieve smooth power.
Yes this is what I’ve heard. Also heard you get increased response as long as it’s tuned well. I was honestly hoping for a bit more on top but this thing is an animal on the street. Oh you wanna pull away from that light quickly… don’t mind if I loft the front end 😂
