cattmouch33 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 So we didn't get finished yesterday but were close. I had the flu or somethin and wasn't much help. We didn't get the FI light fix install and started the bike up. It sounds just the way I wanted it too. Should be finished by thursday since I work today and tomorrow 8am-9pm. All we have left to do is put the tail back on, tighten the chain, and do the jumper mod. Dustin or I will post pics and a video when it's finished.

ninjachk08 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 whats the jumper mod?? i asked dustin awhile back and he didnt even know.lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 The rumor is that U.S. emission and noise restrictions resulted in Kawasaki being required to mute the bike to pass. With the "jumper mod" in place, the bike is restored to its full glory, just like the European models. Comparing peak horsepower before and after, the gain is an impressive 6.4 horses.Matt explained it to me. And that I just pulled off a website. A good explanation though.

cattmouch33 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Basically you put a wire or even a paper clip in one of the connectors on the bike and you get a free 5-10 horses. The ecu acts like a soft rev limiter around 13,000-15,000 rpm.This website explains it pretty wellhttp://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/165/45/You can do it on 05 and up 6r models.

cattmouch33 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 they haven't found any other bikes that you can do it on as far as I know. It's a fun little way kawi can jump on the competition. Although it should be done form the factory. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xtremef4i Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Man I have been waiting fot this thread but just now found it...it was fun pimping out Matt's bike, I love the feeling of making things custom and changing from stock. Any time spent at Dustin's "shop" is good times..I have fond memories of doing things to my bike too. When you run into a problem, there is normally a resource somewhere to solve it.

dustinsn3485 Posted July 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 A customer bike when I was wrenching over at HNW. Pretty cool guy and the bike was perfect condition.Yeah trying to check the torque on the header bolts isn't fun either...Actually the only thing fun about that bike was the test ride.

cattmouch33 Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Yeah finding the resource to get the clutch hub nut off was fun. Then putting it back on was even better, it took three people to hold various tools to keep it from spinning. Making anything personalized is always, if not during then after when you have the finished product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fonzie Posted July 22, 2008 Report Share Posted July 22, 2008 Actually the only thing fun about that bike was the test ride.Sounds like you found the "hyper drive" at 7,000 rpm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12oclocker Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Forum member cattmouch33 decided to do some mods on his bike and brought it to my little shop to do the work.Nice little shop you got there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsn3485 Posted July 23, 2008 Author Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 Any pics of the completed 636? I really want to hear that bad lad and hear what he thinks of it.I completely failed. I was beat today after work...didn't do squat. Matt is working tomorrow and if it's the last thing I do, that bike should be pretty much done tomorrow evening.Nice little shop you got there! Thank you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cattmouch33 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 so apparently you can do it on the rc51 but it's more involved than just putting a paper clip in to jumper two wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremef4i Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 So can it be done on my little 600 with out messing anything up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
f4isvt Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 I have heard of this mod and also heard it is bullshit. I don't know for sure but thats what I have heard. It seems kind of weird you could just install a jumper and gain power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cattmouch33 Posted July 23, 2008 Report Share Posted July 23, 2008 if you look at the i-hacked link I posted you can see the dyno proving that it does allow the bike to rev freely up to redline. It changes the mapping from the ecu, however a lot of people originally thought it was for the servo valve in the exhaust which really isn't the case.

cattmouch33 Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 talked with Dustin last night, everything 95% done should take us 30 min today to finish. So pics and video tonight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xtremef4i Posted July 24, 2008 Report Share Posted July 24, 2008 man Why did it take so long to do. Seems like it should have gotten all done Sunday but you must have ran into other problems? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
