Had my bike done today by the amazing Falcon269. Cheers Mike, watching you work was quite amazing. I beleive you when you say you could do it in your sleep. :lol
Rode back through the Peak District (didn't see a single :stop ) with a couple of friends on SV650s (well someone has to ride them) and I have to say I am very happy with the improvement. It's so smooth and vibration free. Now I just have to change the plugs and air filter and strip/rebuild the exup valve and i'll be sorted. :)
Last few miles home on twistys that I know and love were somewhat entertaining. :lol :lol
Cheers to Karl for making his garage available as well.

Your welcome Neil, I'm glad your pleased,
A a pleasure meeting you Neil also Anna and Adam (http://209.85.48.22/9054/62/0/e5017773//e5017773.gif) , I was hoping to get out and try mine but my lad's got the hump and doesn't want to go out with his mum, so I'm stuck at home :'(
So what about the others are you pleased with your bikes?.
P.S. Big Thanks to Mike (Falcon 269) What a top bloke you are, Certainly a pleasure meeting and spending the day with you! (http://209.85.48.22/9054/62/0/e10472//e10472.gif)

I've just come back from my first post "Full Monty" ride ande am very happy, the bike feels like its lost a shed load of weight, it revs a lot more freely and pulls harder throughout the range. I guess due to the less restrictive airbox and loosing the rubber blanket that sits over the lid it not only goes better it even sounds better too.
So I'd also like to add my thanks to Mike especailly as he took the time and trouble to fit me in even though it meant a rediculously early start for him on a Sunday morning, it was much appreciated. It was great to finally meet him and watch him make a series of pretty complex operations look simple.

Hi to everyone I met on my travels this weekend. Got back on time last night, tired and relieved that the crazy schedule actually worked. :D
As always, it's great to read positive feedback on the results of the 'Ivanising' jobs ... all credit goes to the man who came up with this great jet kit.
Big thanks to Keith, Karl, John, Paul and Gary for providing me somewhere to work and a special mention to Karl for sticking with me throughout a long working day at his place. You should now be qualified to do the job yourself in future, mate. :lol
I'll get around to e-mailing those I promised additional info to over the next day or so. Off to work first, though ... :rolleyes
Cheers!
Mike

Another positive is that the choke works properly now, set it to the idle speed you want and it stays there....No more having to continually adjust the choke whilst you get your kit on. Plus when the bikes warm you can just hit the start button and it fires up and idles straight off just like a fuel injected bike.
-
hm, sounds all good indeed. I may after all decide to get it done too.
What are the overall costs incl. kits and fittings? I'm a noob when it comes to this, so I would have someone else get it onto my bike :)
-

Not just any old 'someone else' - make sure you converse with Falcon 269 for when he's next available - there is NO ONE ELSE, there Can Be Only One! :)
-
I wouldn't know, not that familiar yet with who's who here, thanks for the recommendation :)
-
Mike (Falcon 269) is definitely the man for Ivanising. It was fun to watch him work. :)

Got mine the full monty several years ago by mike and touch wood (head!) :rollin it has ran absolutely faultlessly. I also bought another fazer 1000 with 107'000 miles recently for work, which had just the carb kit done, also by mike (Carlisle i think)and it also runs perfectly, So if anyone has any doubts about the tuning causing any issues or longevity of there bike, both my bikes are testament to ivans kit and also the brilliant work mike does. Can't recommend the man highly enough. Ps.. if anyone in Scotland wants the work done contact mike and you can come over to my place (Glasgow) to have the work done. Would be good to see mike again!

I never imagined 'Ivanising' could become a spectator event but if it kept you entertained then so much the better. :lol
My thanks to all who wrote complimentary things about the outcome of my efforts but as I've always said, the real credit lies with the guy who created the kit and the various other mods that go into the Full Monty.

am i to understand then that my standard carb setup bike is normal when it starts from cold with a bit of choke and then the idle speed slowly falls until i ride it for a 100 yards or so and then it settles and yet, from warm is a tad reluctant to start without giving it a bit more throttle than i am mechanically sympathetic with? and the full monty kit fixes all this as well as giving more power?
if so then this goes from a maybe to a definate for me.

Thats been my experience so far, although I've not been able to ride the bike as much as I'd like since last weekend.

Its the best value for money I've ever spent modifying a bike
"Mike 269,by the way bike is running brilliantly since your visit to Lincoln dressed as the "ivanator" instant pick up makes it handle easier and much better starting and all round performance,fuel economy is not affected at all."

Full Monty by Mike last year, dynoed at 135+ bhp at back wheel - out for a 300 mile jaunt today, 52mpg :D

Finally had chance to take mine for a spin unfortunately only in to the town but hay it's better than now't and quite windy :eek , first impressions are as follows:
Start's better and ticks over virtually from go (http://209.85.48.22/9054/62/0/e10445//e10445.gif)
Definitely smoother (http://209.85.48.22/9054/62/0/e5002580//e5002580.gif)
Picks up far better from lower revs (http://209.85.48.22/9054/62/0/e10509//e10509.gif)
Sounds awesome on song with my can (http://209.85.48.22/9054/62/0/e5001185//e5001185.gif)
I must admit I was a little (http://209.85.48.22/9054/62/0/e5001187//e5001187.gif) about getting it done but on first impressions, am I glad I did............................ Oh Yes!
big thanks to Mike (http://209.85.48.22/9054/62/0/e10466//e10466.gif) for doing the fitting and obviously to Ivan for developing these kits, Can't wait to try her out on a longer run.

Just read PieEaters comment on the choke and realise I've had mine too long. I thought that was just the way the thou works - no choke in summer and just a touch in winter.
BTW I can confirm that that applies to full monty and the jet kit only version.
-
how many of you ivanised guys have told your insurance companies?
-
Mine know about all my mods to date (apart from the led lighting kits ) from the full monty (actualy declared as a Dyno jet kit as they have heard of that) to the clear indicator lens and all the suspension mods etc.
takes me a good 30 mins come renewal to list them all :P
most of them they dont care about but i list them anyway to be safe.
-
my insurance knows bludclot , never made a difference to my premiums :)
-

mine is down as air box mod. Tried to explain the Fully monty but they didn't get it, so then i said Dyno Jet kit then they started asking me which one? so i said balls to it...put it down as an air box mod.....which it is :rolleyes
-
Mine says standard to save me the extra £500 they all wanted... It also doesn't have a topbox, scottoiller, engine bars and braided hoses...
-
only ask as my insurance company asked this year: 'any changes to the bike from when you last spoke to us?' i said no so they said 'in that case we can no longer insure you as there's a maximum of 3 modifcations policy now in force.' they lost my business from that moment.

I had that with quite a few companies this year. Finally went with H&R insurance who seemed quite happy with the 6 mods I have.
-
hmm maybe getting ready for the new EU laws about no mods..... its starting allready :evil
-
Done over 100 miles today on a jaunt over to Rugby, really pleased :D
-
To get home, you mean ... ? ;) :lol
-
No numb fingers or pins and needles whatsoever, I'm well chuffed :lol

When did you renew?
Did mine at beginning of August.

eBike seem ok too - all my additions are listed out for peace of mind and don't seem to be over the top for price either
-
I found last year that most companys were ok with most of my mods. the only ones that seemed to cause any issues at all was oddly enough the Front fork revalve and springs from Ktec. a couple of firms wouldnt insure me on that. a few firms loaded my premium with all the extra mods but wasnt by a huge amount mostly £10-20.
I was with Ebike for a couple of years and they never had a problem with my mods but i was loaded by an extra £12
but had SO much hassel with them over insuring a 125 for a short time and its allmost impossable to actualy TALK to someone there so i didnt like the idea of trying to ever make a claim or if there was another problem down the line.
So this year i went on meercat site and got the top 3 qoutes and then called those to explain all the mods. then picked the one that fitted me best. was around £100 FC wit all mods declaired
Never had any site bothered about the ivans kit, allthough i do sometimes declair it as a Dynojet kit as some firms have a box for that.

Is there an equivelant Ivanising for fuel injected bikes? I have a 2009 FZ6 which is said to have the better fuel injection and have to say that generally I am pleased with the fuelling except after coming off a closed throttle going round a bend (yes I know positive throttle should be used but....) and then it seems like a light switch- nothing and then oops :eek
maybe a Power Commander would sort it but then that is a performance enhancement and I only want to correct a fuelling problem.
-
My understanding of a powercomander is that its programable, so although most do use it to increase performance it all depends on the map you download to it. so a map that just cures the issue and didnt increase performance would be possable maybe.
but no matter what map you ran insurance would consider it a performance mod no doubt so may as well just give it a performance map /shrug
I know nothing about the FZ6 but the FI gen 2 1000 had a FCE (fuel cutout eliminator?) that could be fitted to solve a problem sim to what you said i think.
not much help as im realy not sure the in's and outs of it.
