Hi Beowolf,

 

So glad to hear some reply at last! Yap, did some homework. Our fren, Soulmace's thread. An interesting review indeed. The needles especially seems to be screwing things up. Factory Pro's not too popular with folks outside the States.

 

Carbs are indeed a mytery. Ten ways to get it right and a Thousand ways to screw it up. Just curious, have you, for that matter anyone gone for a dyno-jetting? (Run+Jetting) Sure like to hear about you guyz?

maybe of the 4 seasons they got there in the states.. thus need regular tuning to suit the weather there.

 

but in sg, its the same weather all year round... so i tink the jet kit is more suited for our country.

 

any comments?

Hi Soulmace,

 

The atmospheric conditions change more drastically in the temperate countries like the States. And yes, I do believe too that the bikes there probably get tuned from time to time to suit the seasons.

 

On whether the jets work better in S'pore due to us experiencing more constant weather patterns. In my opinion, the constant weather jus means less times the carb needs re-tuning. But the suitability of the jets have got more to do with atmospheric pressure.

 

In our warm and more humid climate, there maybe a need to run leaner (Smaller jets) as the air is tends to be hotter and less dense. On the other hand, people have argued saying running a little richer (Bigger jets) gives a better coolling effect to inside of the bike as well. If you notice some guys at Greybikes have larger jets in the rear two cylinders than the front. The likely reason is in "V" engines, its harder to cool the rear cylinder/s as compared to the front which gets help from the wind coming in. Therefore they run a little richer to help cope.

 

The stock jets are 108(mainjet) for NC35. Factorypro's jet kit comes in 100, 102, 105, 108, 110, 112. Anybody happy with their aftermkt jets? Lets here from you guyz!

Hi Sandman, I get what you mean and I agree with what u said.

 

like what you said, in greybikes, factory pro kit does not received good reviews from our fellow bikers..

 

but in sg, i asked a few and most of them haf positive reviews.... its up to individual...

 

maybe anyone fellow bikers using the kit may come out and tell us wat u tink of it?

[Non Stop Racing]

Hi Soulmace,

 

I heard the same thing too about FactoryPro's kit in Singapore. Alot more riders prefer it over to Dyno. I'm not too sure if there're other kits around. Other than HRC's. We all the story too. It works together as part of a whole process. You can't get very much with just a few isolated parts.

 

The feedback I got on Dynojets is there's initial fuel savings, more top-end, and a nice powerband. But after a while, some of them suffer a drop in previously improved performance. On checking, they discovered that the emulsion tube (the stuff the needle bouncing in and out of) has worn out. Another thing is many times, unscrupulous shops have duped customers in buying CB400(super4) kits. So be careful!

 

Hi Non Stop Racing,

 

Thanks for your feedback on factorypro's kit. That sounds fantastic. I'm only doing about 15-17Litres on stocks.

 

However just a sidetrack here. When the bike is running extra-ordinarily low fuel consumption, it may not necessarily be a good thing. Your bike could be jetted too lean (low on gas, high on air) and damaging the engine. Thank God for 4-strokes! 2-strokes won't last half as long with the abuse. Lots of riders/tuners push the bike to the extreme. Usually running way too lean. A simple way to experience the effect on riding leaner is on a cool night. Notice how well, the engine runs on thicker/denser air? Just to illustrate the point, there's nothing to fear on a healthy bike.

 

The best way to tell whether the mixture is lean or rich is to do a plug chop. After a ride, removing the spark plugs to check. If it's wet and black, it's running rich. It's also often due to the high number of traffic lights on our Beloved island. However, should the plug be SUPER clean and white. That's too lean.

 

Either way, riders need to come to a compromise. You can't have everything all the time. Let's be realistic. It's simply balancing the factors in the equation to get your machine run more efficiently.

Hey Yos,

 

thaz a neat deal thing u have. FINALLY!! after all this time...something else in the market for the NC35 other than problematic Factory Jets.

 

No more nonsense like bogus DynoJet jetting kits by bikeshops or stuff like that. Finally something legitimately developed for RVF.

 

Saw from the webby u linked that they have the Bakudan Stage 2 Kit!! ...and they have it for RVF400 too. which stage is yours?

 

Do update us on the long term 'test results' dude. hehehe.

[Andr3w]

bro..juz came bk from 2nd link...tried my top speed...233km/hr clock by my blackbird fren...RPM at 12k...still can go but no balls...reali veri smooth pick up 1st gear to 5th gear can hit 13k rpm,no joke.i open n closed throttle,response comes veri fast.i reali love it...still full tank..so cant gauge the km for full tank..cheers. :cheer:

[Andr3w]

by the way..my kit is stage 2..but u use back ur stock air jets.stage 2 only have main jets which is the fuel jets.
