SHFT-EVO-H21-KT $199.95 International buyers will be billed additional $18 for shipping	Imagine Last lap, last corner, 110 mph, two wheel drift... passing on the outside, bike carefully controlled by just the subtlest of weight transfer and just a "fingers touch" on the throttle... you run out of rpm and need to upshift to complete the pass.... you need to shift.... it's ok.... a tap and you are in the 4th, still in a drift....... you keep slightly pulling... around.... slowly past.... you win. EVO-7 Detent Star Kit! Includes Factory's AWESOME Detent Star - Totally changes the rough shifting the Hondas are known for into the sweetest shifting bike - The one you've always wanted! Includes: Factory Pro designed, refined and manufactured DETENT STAR, Factory Pro Microbearing Detent Arm, heavy duty detent spring and gasket. Makes shifting quicker and more positive - "virtually" eliminating those nasty missed shifts. The stronger detent spring rotates the shift drum quicker, so the gears are more likely to engage under quick shift conditions - and "lazy" ones, too - The Factory Pro Microbearing removes friction for the quickest shifting. The closest to a "paddle shifter" for a motorcycle that you will ever find!!

AIRBOX PLUS KIT "APK Kit" $189.95 CRB-H21-2.1-APK International buyers will be billed additional $18 for shipping Most Power A stock, restricted camshaft model to unrestricted cams, +4 Ignition Advance, AirBox PLUS KIT and competition exhaust HP figures are True Rear Wheel HP Scale	This is the largest selling CBR900RR kit!

Replace the restrictive stock/aftermarket air filter AND KEEP the stock airbox exterior. Perfect for Germany and other areas that do not allow airbox removal. Produce Best Power - THROUGH all rpm's as compared with standard carb tuning. Unmatched Top-end Power. Makes more HP and COSTS LESS than other non pressurized airbox kit combinations. Compare to BMC or K&N replacement filter and carb kit? Costs less and makes more power! Add the RTR-HON-8-04 for very improved part throttle power, with the APK Kit.

RTR-HON-8-02 Ignition Advance Kit also: -2, +4 and +6 degrees Power, Mileage $59.95 International buyers will be billed additional $16 for shipping RTR-HON-8-04 $59.95 International buyers will be billed additional $16 for shipping also available: -2, +4 and +6 degrees	This kit advances the timing 2 degrees. Increases part throttle power - what you'd call snap! Decrease rotating engine mass - Lightest weight advance available. Other fixed advancers / retarders available, too. The +4 advance is a MUST DO with drop-in Erion cams in a stock engine, adding 1-2 True HP throughout the powerband. That's power measured under load - just like the Real World! If you want the +4 advance, just write that in the Notes Section of your payment. Note: The best combination - is the AirBox Plus Kit and the +4 advancer The APK Filter Kit will add 3-4 top the upper mid and peak rpm power. The +4 will hurt the peak HP about a horsepower, but, the midrange is noticeably better with the +4 over the +2. So, if you are willing to accept 2-3 horsepower, instead of 3-4 horsepower with the APK kit, you'll enjoy the +4 more than the +2.
CRB-H38-1.1-TI Standard drop-in carb kit $149.95 International buyers will be billed additional $18 for shipping	The premium "Ti ProKit". Easy to install and tune - no slide drilling! Same great performance as the standard 1.0 kit above, but includes the best material available for needles - Titanium. Stainless steel allen screws for the float bowls complete the "Ti ProKit" upgrade. Adds more low-end / midrange, if the proper main jet is selected, more top-end power. This is one of the kits that we made our reputation on.

Lightest aftermarket cotton gauze filter available! Flows similar to USA cotton gauze/screen type filter, but a nicer piece. Carb recalibration is not required, but even a stock bike will perform better if the carbs are blueprinted. That's a fact.	$84.95 in stock

Patented for it's absolute 1 degree indexing ability - without trying to read inaccurate "hash" marks like other adjustable advancers AND the unique internal adj. screw - there are NO exposed screws to loosen and fall out inside the engine like ALL other adjustable ignition rotors! (We aren't falling for the other adj. ign. rotor manufacturer's "Loc-Tite the adjustment screws so they don't fall out..." suggestion!	$79.95
CRB-H38-1.0 Standard drop-in carb kit Power and Drivability International buyers will be billed additional $18 for shipping	Easy to install and tune - no slide drilling! Well known in the States as the smoothest performing kit available. Adds more low-end / midrange, if the proper main jet is selected, more top-end power. This is one of the kits that we made our reputation on.	$129.95
SHFT-PRO-HON-21 Trans Detent Arm Kit Quicker shifting, fewer missed shifts	Make shifting MUCH quicker and virtually eliminate missed shifts. Helps address missed shifts caused by poor shift detent "star" profile and weak and rough stock components. Basically, the kit installs a new Microbearing "detent" arm and slightly stiffer "detent" spring. The spring exerts more force on the arm and the arm removes rotational friction from the shift drum - quicker shift drum rotation = quicker shifts and fewer missed shifts. BTW - fewer missed shifts means longer shift fork and engagement dog life. Installation requires removal of the engine clutch cover and complete removal of the clutch. Requires the use of an air impact wrench for the clutch nut. This kit fits: 93-01 CBR600 and all CBR900/929. (thank you, Honda, for using the same shift mechanism on all those bikes!)

Dear Factory Pro!!!,

Well what can I say, Thank you Thank you Thank you.
I recently fitted one of your kits to my Fireblade (CBR 900RRS 1995 model) it was like getting a new bike! I have had the bike for about 2 years now and I was starting to get bored with it, then on with the kit and what do you know its fun again. I fitted the +4� timing advancer, did the air box conversion and went with the 140 jets and the needle�s on the 3rd notch (down from top). It worked flawlessly, even with the standard pipe. I fitted a full race can (Art Full race) and the bike really purrs like a cat (a big one!) now.

Full details: ~

Honda CBR 900 RRS (1995 Irish market model)
Stock cam
Stock pipe
Art Full race can (Muffler?)
Filter ~Factory Pro 2*Unifilter (as in Kit)
Pilot~ Stock
Needle clips~ 3rd notch
Main Jet ~ #140.
Ave Temp.~ 10-15�C
Humidity ~40 to 60%

Location~ Dublin, Ireland

Did all the work myself, it is no problem (I am an engineer by trade!).

I am now in the process of building a race bike, I hope to race the Irish Clubman�s Super Sport 400cc next season. The bike that I have is an NC-30 (VFR 400 R3N 1994 model) Honda, and I would like to know if you make jet kits, timing advancers and air box conversion kits for this bike, if you do can you give me the details and let me know how I can get one.

Yours gratefully,

Marc,
Just want to add to FJ's message. I got a CBR 9 this Spring with a full TBR and a Factory Jet kit. I have asked a few questions on the list and am more a lurker since I get the Digest and much of the mail is answered before I see it. However, I have always found your answers helpful and enjoy reading them. You helped me with my float setup and the list answers, including yours over the year, set my jetting up well according to my seat-of-the-pants dyno. So thank you for being so generous with your time and knowledge, all the best business wise in 1999 and have a merry Christmas.

Cheers, Ian

Subject: cbr900rr APK Airbox Plus Kit recommendation

Brian,

I had my 96 RR done with Two Bros full system, Air Box Plus kit, and put in 49 state cams. Stock CA, my 900 had 98hp on a Dynojet Dyno. After, it made 117hp, and unbelievably increased midrange. You will not believe the improvement!

Good luck,

Mikey Rosenblum

Subject: cbr900rr RTR-ADJ-HON-8 Adjustable Ignition Rotor setting

Marc,
I have the RTR-ADJ-HON-8 advancer set at 2 degrees of retard. The guys at Marietta Motorsports here in Atlanta say that seems to be the hot setup. What do you think?
Rob

Rob,
Umm, -2 on a silly dj dyno, maybe that works under that dyno's light load condition. I suggest that you set it where it feels strongest to you in your operating condition. Then do it -2 and try it. See what works best under real world load. Use that setting.
Marc
BTW - the guys at Marietta are pretty cool, but they need a Factory Pro EC997 Low Inertia 4 Gas Eddy Current dyno so they can help people even more!

Final:

Marc,
Final setting of +4 on the advancer. The minor loss at high RPM is offset by the HUGE power anywhere else. Besides, I rarely run it to redline on the street.

Now that I've had some time to play, I've noticed that the bike inhales my friends' bikes at will. (except for that damned R1). And with the filters, the motor sounds like it wants to suck the gas tank through the carbs in the process!!

Thanks again for your help!
Rob

Subject: My Shift Kit Experience

From: "John Falb" <falb@aznet.net>

Marc and Raul,

I just wanted to write you guys to say THANK YOU.

I ordered a shift kit for my '95 900RR and installed it with no problems. I thought.

When I started it up the engine made a horrible knocking sound. I sxxt a brick right then, I knew I fxxxxxd it up. The sound came from the head and the clutch. So after disassembly and reinstallation with no change I called Factory and talked to Raul.

He was very helpful and walked me through the steps to see where I want wrong. After two phone calls and return call back I realized that my screwdriver had been where is shouldn't have. When I first tried to take off the nut for the outer clutch basket I stuck my screwdriver into the crank/clutch gears to keep the clutch from spinning. BAD IDEA! I had bent the outside edge of a couple of teeth. I filled the offenders down and now she is better than new.

The shift kit works awesome. The feel is totally different and each shift seems solid. I know when it goes into gear.

Anyway, everyone has always been very helpful at FactoryPro.

Thank you.

John Falb
