Woopa!! Cbr1000rr Riders

[prasad]

YO! Fellow CBR riders, just like to know anyone in here did the airduct intake flapper mod? If there's someone who did it, what is the outcome? There were mixed responses regarding this mod with some saying it's a good mod improving low end and some saying it made the bike "softer" and runs leaner....

 

Comments, anyone?

 

Thank you.

 

Cheers!

 

i got it done

[ahduck]

u install le ma?? heehe

 

not yet cos still waiting for my taillights to come.

 

Hi Duck, how's the quality of the plastic and paintjob?

 

Not as flexible as oem which i think paint will crack but still abs. unlike race fairings which is made of fibreglass or some other plastic resin to crack or shatter upon impact to so called reduce damages.

paintwork wise can consider not bad although there are some flaws.

fitting wise i have no idea cos not yet installed. hopefully in 2-3 weeks time

 

i bought this as its value for $ with considerable quality paintwork as race fairings comes unpainted and without pre-drilled holes.

well at least if u drop or low slide not so heart pain. if its oem sure like mad..

mine come with the aluminium foam pasted on the lower belly fairings dunno if it helps.

if not i'll go buy those 3m aluminium tape paste a layer 1st then top it with the alu foam provided.

[guangson]

hmmmm. i rev high on pick up and it jerk suddenly...anything wrong with tunning?

[Okada17]

my bike was mod on the intake duct flapper.. base on previous owner, he said that it gif him better pick up.. but there is a con to it .. cau on the rpm of 2 to 3 u will hear the flapper open n close .. after rpm 3 the sound disappear..

 

Did you remove the diaphgrams and the soleniod, hence the sound of the flapper opening & closing?

 

i got it done

 

DIY, Prasad?

 

So it does improve the pick up? Any loss of power in the low end? I wanted to try it but after reading so many mixed response, I'm still holding back.

btw.. the heat foam dun help.. best is wrap the headers with the exhaust wrap.. den can reduce the chances of having bubbles on the paintwork..

sorry for asking.. but 04/05 solenoid is for the hesd isit??

not really sure..

but i know taking out the hesd, i need to put back a 5watt ( 6-8ohms) resistor to connect the solenoid back so tat the red error light wun appear...

 

for 08, i dunno.. btw... wat is solenoid for ah?

[AkalaPovic]

ehh... as i said.. the ferrings came with the pre-drilled holes n mountings..

den the headlight juz switch over nia.. no need to buy new headlights de..

no special mounts.. juz stock mounts..

The solenoid for the '08 is for the flapper in the air intake duct.... To open and close the flapper....

1 of the advertiser is selling...i forgot the name...

go only for design..

the material will most likely melt at the stomach...

exhaust wrap is not cheap..

fittings are good.
