FIX clunky Honda shifting - eliminate missed shifts - make in-town driving silky SMOOTH - Closest thing to Formula 1 paddle shifter for a motorcycle!!

Call 800 869-0497 for info!

I put an EVO Shift STAR on my Superhawk recently and it made a huge difference. New bike bug bit and now I need one for the '04 CBR100RR! (It's ready!)
Great product.

Air Filters

BMC Air Filter
FI-BMC-14404R $89.95 USD

Factory Pro and BMC have produced the finest cleanable air filter for the VTR that is available. Manufactured to European standards - High quality injection molded filter frame features integral breather plates, like the original filter. Actually, after seeing and using one of the BMC filters, I'm don't know why anyone would use any "other" aftermarket filter! Yes - we are the US BMC importers!

Carburetor Tuning Kits

CRB-H77-1.7-RK
For Maximum low, mid and topend power for
Road and Track

$139.95 USD

This kit requires a bit more work to install than the 1.0 or 1.1-ti ProKit. The advantage is that the kit will produce a bit more power at all rpms than any standard, drop-in style kit. Tuning is actually easier after the installation at base settings.
There is no loss of lowend power.
Although not tested, there's no good reason why the 1.7-RK Kit wouldn't be useable with a completely stock exhaust system with stock mufflers.
This is simply the best kit.
The BMC filter is the nicest air filter available for the VTR - it's one piece, instead of the other filter that is available, which is a multi-part, comparatively complex unit.
Use below listed the Ignition Advance for best mileage and performance -
Emulsion tube information!
Also - as with ALL VTR1000's - the TPS must be checked and set to 500 +/- 10 ohms - or low speed cruise smoothness is impossible to attain!
They have been seen as much as 900 ohms as delivered.

hi marc, your advice about the tps on the vtr was spot on. mine measured 919 ohms after taking it down to 509 ohms, its a different bike and returns 120 miles per tank as apposed to 90.
its running sweet.
thanks again - ps: your website is ace.

CRB-H77-1.1-TI
Ti ProKit carb kit

Titanium needles for lifetime use. Adds more low-end / midrange, if the proper main jet is selected, more top-end power. Easy to install and tune - no slide drilling. The Ti ProKit has the same needle profile as the 1.0 kit.
Works with a completely stock exhaust system, stock headers and full systems and has enough jets for the BMC air filter.

RTR-HON-77-04
IN STOCK!

Improve MILEAGE!!!! (and power)
Our suggested standard advance rotor advances the timing 4 degrees. With stock engines with stock compression ratios, there is more power everywhere. Part throttle power is improved - helping corner exit speeds. Improved in-town drivability. .5-1.5hp top-end increase. The VTR's poor mileage is increased, also - as much as 10% under cruise conditions from reports back.
Works with or without a Carb Recal Kit - Works with stock and aftermarket exhaust.

Transmission Shift Improvement

SHFT-EVO-H77
Trans Detent Spring Kit

$199.95

EVO-7 Shift STAR Kit

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 "fingertip 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.

It's everything that I ever wanted to do to a shift mechanism -
Slightly stronger detent spring - a new MicroBearing detent arm and the final piece... A completely redesigned, empirically refined, multi angled, variable radii, repeaked and valleyed:
EVO-7 Shift STAR
This part will totally change the feel of the bike as a whole. The shifting effort is lighter - and the speed at which the gears actually engage is dramatically improved - Quicker, easier, shifting -

A "twitch" on the lever and the throttle and you are in the next gear! Perfect for track use and road riding for effortless downshifts into a corner and just a "tap" to upshift without any more than a "twitch" off the throttle -

That's not even mentioning that missed shifts virtually disappear!

In town? Low rpm cruise in second - shift to third? So quick and smooth that it will surprise and amaze - NO more clunky, lazy shifting in town - As I said - it's totally different and improved -

Proven concept - Virtually all the Factory Pro Support riders in the AMA and WERA multi- Champions Vesrah Racing tested and proved the EVO-7 Stars in 2003-2005.

Stock shift performance that everybody used to take as a "given" will be regarded as "slow and lazy" after riding an RC-51/ SP-1/2 or VTR1000 with this kit -

Kit includes a new detent arm with a low friction microbearing roller, a performance shift spring and the NEW Factory Pro EVO Detent Star.

Make shifting MUCH quicker and virtually eliminate missed shifts.

Just remove countershaft sprocket, water pump and shift mechanism cover.

Installation:
Remove right side clutch cover.
Remove clutch assembly (impact wrench and large socket set required)
Install new EVO Shift STAR, Microbearing Detent and and Factory Pro Detent Spring>
Reinstall clutch and cover.

No case splitting required

Estimated install time:
1 hour, if you are super quick and have all the tools laid out.
1.5 - 2.5 hours at normal human speeds and what we would charge for in our shop.
3-4 hours if you are a "working hobbyist" and have impact and sockets.
6-8 hours to a week if you are a journalist and not on a deadline.
And 1-2 months if you let me do it. :-)

SHFT-PRO-HON-77
Trans Detent Arm Kit

~$89.95 USD

Make shifting MUCH quicker and virtually eliminate missed shifts. Factory Pro's Transmission Detent Arm Kits make the shifting perform as well as the rest of the bike!

See EVO KITS......

This graph shows the difference between original ignition timing and our +4 Advance Rotor.
The +2 and +6 rotors, when used with Factory Pro #1.7-RK RaceKit, did not make the same improvements throughout the powerband.
The 1-2 True HP increases show part of the picture, but a big improvement in throttle response was realized, with more snap response evident at every rpm.

(Remember, these HP numbers are True Rear Wheel HP Scale, measured on an EC997 Eddy Current Dyno, so they will be 12% to 18% lower than lightweight inertia dyno readings!)

The advance plate has made a difference to mileage and throttle response, just like you said it would... It's so hard to find companies that produce a product that actually does what it says. Keep up the good work, I'm one happy customer so far.

Just a quick note to tell you what a fine job you do on R&D. I just installed a Ti kit in my 99 ZRX (Kerker slip-on, K&N filter, foam removed from snorkel throat, and trimmed side cover). 100 mains, e-clip on 3rd slot, and 2.5 turns on mixture screws. Pulls great from idle to redline using your recommended base settings. By the way my other 3 bikes (98 VTR, 97 Bandit 1200S, and 94 CB1000) have had the same results with your kits. I never even consider purchasing kits from you know who.

Hi,

Just got a 1.1 Ti kit for my '98 Honda VTR1000. What are your recommended carb settings with a K&N filter and Sudco or Hindle slip-ons? Power is great where I have it. I never thought wheelies could be this easy!

But...idle fluctuates between 900-1400 rpm depending on heat of the engine, and sometimes it dies when coming to a stop. My current settings are:

#50 slow jet
182 main front
185 main rear
clips on 4th from top
mixture screws 2.5 turns out

I'm thinking I need to turn the mixture screws in about 1/2 turn. What do you think?

Thanks!

Hi Greg,
Try just adjusting the front cylinder fuel screw only for best possible idle. Once you've done that, adjust the rear cylinder fuel screw.
Don't fret if they are different.
Once you've done the best you can with this method, email settings. Sometimes, there's more that can be done - but you have to do the fuel screws first to diagnose!
There are NO absolute settings for EVERY vtr!
Cheers!

I installed a spark advancer, works great, doesn't seem to vibrate as much as before. Could be that my nerve sensors are gone. Anyway it sure runs great.
Needles are in the #5 pos. and #182 jet in front carb and #185 rear works great.
Thanks for all your help in the past.

Use 5 minute epoxy to seal the overlarge holes and a very sharp (aka: "new") drill bit to redrill them smaller.

+ 4 degree increases mileage!
