Best "drop-in"
carb kit available. Fits, USA and German models, verified, December 10, 2004
Most 98-99 ZX-9Rs are OK on the high rpm / full throttle fuel delivery curve. To diagnose absolutely, it's required to run the bike on an EC997 Low Inertia Eddy Current dynamometer WITH the Integrated 4 Gas Analyzer to map the fuel curve to see if there is power to be had by reworking the fuel curve. Contact your nearest 4 Gas Exhaust Gas Analyzer equipped Factory Pro Tuning Center. Locations - click here. |

| Kaw CARB Float Valve TECH NOTES: |
Most Kaws tune well and easily with the Factory Pro kits - however, some Kaws
have a problem with low speed operation - If that's the case, and you've adjusted and reset the float height leaner and 18mm still isn't lean enough at cruise, and especially if the problem is on 1, 2 or 3 cylinders, please inspect the float valves for the dreaded rubber tip shrinkage. Some fuel additives attack the float valve rubber tip and cause it to shrink and distort. Now, nobody needs a shrunken, distorted rubber and, being non-round, will allow not shut off fuel in the carbs with the bad float valves and cause very rough low speed running (as the fuel level keeps rising in the carb bowl). It's not a "common problem", but if the normal tuning stuff doesn't work........... |

TL-float height gauge $59.95 |
The only way to accurately measure float heights. Works on nearly every carburetor. Float height measurement affects the fuel level in a carb - Fuel level controls the amount of fuel that the carb delivers at low rpm and cruise. |

Feedback:
Hey Marc,
Sorry it took so long to get back to you, things have been a little busy around
here.
Anyway, here goes.
Here's a run down on what's happened.
I bought myself a 98 zx9r
race bike last year and from the get go it never ran well. It had a full
Akropovic system, factory pro jet kit, factory pro ignition advancer and some
headwork. The problem was it would hit a flat spot at around 10,000-rpm and then
flatten out and not make anymore power.
I took the bike to a
local "professional" Dyno tuner who uses a Dyno jet dyno to tune bikes, he said
it was running lean and it would need re-jetting.
No problems I thought, as he told me it was running 150 mains which is smaller
than stock. When I picked the bike up he told me he had put 155 mains in it as
that what the dyno and exhaust analysis said was "correct" (A/F Ratio..),
I thought that was a bit strange as 155 mains are what is in a stock zx9r.
It didn't end there, though, when I
saw the dyno graph the bike was still breaking down at 10,000 rpm and then the
power would
come back on at about 12,000 rpm for about 100 revs then hit the rev limiter.
This gave a peak hp of 140 at 12,000
rpm but was obviously unusable. I was told that they could not get it to run
clean to redline as the ignition advancer was causing the problem and I should
go back to a stock rotor as they did nothing anyway.
I found that hard to believe
but there was no arguing with these people, I was out of pocket $300 for the
experience and the bike ran no better than when I took it to them. They also
burnt my titanium Akro muffler brown so I was somewhat less than
impressed with their service.
My next time out on the track I found the bike to be so difficult to ride that I ended up putting the stock rotor back in to see if it made any difference. It did and the bike revved out a lot smoother and cleanly to redline but it lost a lot of punch, seemed lazy out of corners and wouldn't accelerate as hard. I couldn't believe that was right.
So I contacted Marc at
Factory Pro to get some info on how they tune for an ignition advancer, Marc's
reply was quite simple, go up on the mains until it runs smooth. With this in
mind I changed the jets to 158's and re-installed the ignition advancer, what a
difference, it ran clean to redline and pulled like a freight train. I recently
had it in on another dyno to check the hp and with no other mods than the
"correct jets" and Marc's advice the bike was putting out 143 djhp and ran clean to
redline.
Both dyno sheet pics are attached.
My times at Eastern Creek Raceway
have dropped from a best of 1:48 with the bike as tuned by the "Dyno pro's" down
to a 1:42's and suddenly I'm competitive.
On another note,
I was having a lot of problems with false neutrals so I installed a Factory Pro
shift kit. At first I thought it was a bit a pricey for what it was but, wow,
what a difference, I have hardly missed a shift since putting it in and the
speed of gear changes is much quicker. I'm sure that had a hand in the
improved lap times.
I've also attached a pic of my bike, you can even make out the Factory Pro
sticker on the fairing..:-)

Needle Jet Wear
Question!
Do you have a ZX9 with worn needle jets? How to check: http://www.factorypro.com/tech/needle_jet_Mikuni.html.
Are your needle jets silver, black or brass colored? Are they
worn? Have you experienced increased low rpm richness over long term mileage?
What is your float height?
Click here to report year, date
of manufacture of the bike and mileage and what brand of jet kit that you have
installed, or stock. If you have a jet kit, at what mileage was the kit
installed?
That's an important question that we are working on an answer for.
We can replace the worn needle jets in the carbs, cost $350.
Marc
Persistent missing at high rpm? Anti-Theft Alarms?
Regardless of main jet selected? All air correction plumbing is properly
connected? - the bike still misses at full throttle / high rpm.
And you have an "alarm" installed???
Disconnect the alarm and retest.
As of October 24, 2001, there have been many reports of alarms causing high rpm
misfiring. Disconnect the alarm and the problem goes away.
It can be present when you install the alarm, may start after a crash or
sometimes, just "occur".
Call the alarm company to discuss that with them!
Cheers -
Marc
