welcome, I like the plans you have

 

I ended up getting a hindle pipe, about 2K less than going akro and it's a local Canadian company close to where I live, very popular pipe with racers because it gets the same power as an akro or sc for a third of the price. ECU is in the mail right now to 2wheeldyno. Pipe is just loose fitting in the pic not final install.

 

Installed the exhaust and block off plates today, now just waiting for the ecu to make its way home, probably be 2 weeks before I get it, then I have about a week to do the break in , change the oil and tires and be on track may 24th. I think I'm going to try the Michelin power slick 2

 

+1 on the hindle; got a full exhaust for the wifes gsxr 750 and it sounds excellent. Bike looks great, how much hp/tq does the zx10r make with a flash and bolt-ons now?

 

2wheeldyno has a dyno graph on their site, with a slip on and mid pipe it ran 196. It took a bit for the bike to run properly after reinstalling the ecu, sounded like it was running on two cylinders, and it took about 20 attempts to get it to even idle without stalling. Eventually the ecu figured it out but all the lights were lit up on the dash but after a couple rides it reset itself and everything is working as it should. Big difference with the flash though, this thing was fast before but it’s faster now, nice and smooth in the corners with just maintenance throttle , and a good gurgle and pop on the over run, I’m impressed with the pipe and tune for sure.

 

Should have cleared your codes before you ran it. Easy to do with a Euro 5 to OBD2 adapter and a free phone app like Torque. Just like Chris Moore tells his customers.

 

Halfway done the break in miles, 2 more weeks until track day!! What a fun and exciting bike this is when you get a chance to open it up, so smooth and just feels amazing on the side of its tire through the long sweeping corners. But does it suck when stuck in bumper to bumper traffic

 

Wait til you get it on the track, thats where it really shines. I couldnt believe how easy it was to go fast on the gen 4 on the track, can't imagine how easy the gen 6 is to ride at pace.

 

First track day in the books, what a fun bike

 

Back on track this week, this time on my home track. Took a little getting used to, I spent the first morning blowing all the corners and running off the track once, but I'm getting the hang of it and really starting to enjoy it.

 

get after it!

 

Last track day of the year is over , time to start saving for mods for next year I guess!

 

what group do you ride in track days? In the US we run novice, intermediate and advanced.

 

Same thing up here, I moved up to advanced this season, I'm at the lower end of that group, but it's so nice riding with guys running predictable lines.
