General / Back on a Fz1 Fazer and never felt better
« on: 29 May 2014, 04:57:53 am »
Well I bought a mates bike, a 2007 heavily modded Fz1 fazer , but sadly neglected a little.
Work started on the Header pipes rusty corroded and looking dreadful. ( Road in the winter and left uncleaned till May)
Ended up buying Dek's Full Akrapovic and replacing all the header bolts with new stainless studs , breaking 2 in the process and drilling and tap and die set to finish always hate that job lols.
Dek was kind enough to send the map along with the system.
So a Bank holiday spin out and what a ride, the 170rwbhp R1 I have will be laid up for most of the summer I'm sure of that.
Off to France on Monday next week
the Akra end can ran well and sounded good , nice deep growl but not offensively loud ... with baffle in it's too quiet and was a tad fluffy on the gas, it had a custom map with baffle out on the dyno so I left it out.
There was no bottom end grunt loss at all as the secondary butterflies were taken out so at 2500rpm she has 10bhp over stock and was 140.9 rwbhp
- that was with the Akra end can and lars air box mod, graves block off plates and as said custom mapped and K&N air filter.
Now she has Deks map , or Dukes map perfection with the full Akrapovic in place and dyno showed a 9bhp rise on the dyno and good fuelling air fuel ratio checked running well, now showing 150rwbhp.
But better still It now wheelies off the throttle and the mid range and top end just kept pulling up to 12,000rpm.
I rode 211 miles around Welsh roads on Bank holiday Monday and had a play with a 2008 Hyabusa and left a 2006 R1 in my wake several times
The Busa guy "Stan" stopped at Newtown cafe Mid Wales and commented on how strong I was pulling away from him.
So mega pleased with Deks full Akra system it's bonkers!!
But the ride on Monday last was lifting to say the least, in all areas.
It's good to be back and thanks to Devil's Yam aka Luke and Dek for being top foccers.
Great forum.
Ride /stay safe all.
