September 2006 Marc,
How's everything? Hope all is well. I
loaded a map from Brock racing in my PC3 and went to the Dyno (I'm
not sure what make/model the dyno is @ Racers Edge Las Vegas) I
installed a PC3, full Hindle (Stepped) BDE Exhaust, the Velocity
stacks, BCE and 17 tooth CS sprocket. It dynoed at 145.5 they said
they didn't know where to hook up the tach for rpm so they could
display torque. I figured you measure torque at the wheel as well,
but I might be retarded. I had more Mid than any of the other bikes
he had stored in the computer. I took it home removed the stacks and
BCE went back wasted another $25.00 just to prove what I thought.
Your Stacks work like a champ. Peak stayed the same but I lost the
mid range advantage I had with the Factory Pro stacks. Well now I
need advice, do you have any tricks on pulling more peak HP out of
this thing? Please let me know. I'm still willing to paint my bike
in Factory-Pro colors!
Thanks,
Will

![]() Billet ZX10 Velocity Stacks (8 Piece set, pat pending) 04-05 only
Add
3 to 5 True hp to lower and upper midrange with these finely
machined V Stacks.
$249.95 inc. rubbers and billet stacks
International orders will be billed additional $24 for shipping
Additional info: Running 4 short stacks (as the originals are on 1 and 4) are about 1-2 True HP better than the stock arrangement of stacks, but aren't as good as the new Billet Factory Pro stack set - The Factory Pro stacks are about 3 True HP better than 4 short stacks and 4-5 better than the stock stack set - Our testing was done with: Why the Factory Pro BMC RACE filter? Additional mods suggested: Tuning? Don't "tune to an a/f ratio". It's guaranteed to
lose power at the strip and street. email here

I just want to thank you for developing the shift star for my ZX10R.
Like your ad
says: "Don't sell it, fix it!"
I am very impressed with
the results, the shifter now feels like the rest of the controls.
It no longer feels like
a toy that you are hurting when you are shifting.

![]() Shift STAR kit Don't sell your "10". Just FIX the clunky shifting!! If you have a 2004 or 2005 zx10 and have notchy, clunky shifting - Install Factory Pro's copyrighted design Shift STAR kit and breathe that sigh of relief - Finally, smooth and Quick shifting! Takes about 1.5-2.5 hours for initial STAR install (good enough to stop the immediate complaining for the "beginning of spring" riding!) and another, optional, 2-4 hours for Detent arm install (remove exhaust system, oil pan and clutch cover again to remove shift shaft circlip - a weekend or shop project!

On the graph (click on it), you can even see that the fuel
delivery was a bit leaner with the BMC - as evidenced by the lower red CO%

These are ROUGH and GENERAL and VERY abbreviated clues - NOT to be used without a
genuine Kawasaki Service manual for proper assembly.
Tools, Partial list
5mm allen wrench
3/8" ratchet and socket set
1/2" air or electric impact wrench (for the clutch nut)
30mm 1/2" drive socket ( 1 3/16" in a pinch) (if 30mm is

Notes:
1. On the 10, you must remove the oil, exhaust system and the oil pan
to remove the circlip that holds the shift shaft in.
2. You must remove the clutch assembly to get to the STAR and the detent arm.
(thanks David Isaac, Singapore for the pictures)
![]() You've already removed the clutch assembly and removed the oil pan using your Kawasaki manual. Remove the shift shaft circlip so you can pull the shift shaft out towards you. (you'll need to remove the shift lever from the left side of the bike, too) (Note: this bike already has the kit installed) |

The extension of the laboratory for engines of the
Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed in about 1935.
Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940). He had a
successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after the
advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar to
that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in
normal use but well preserved. Edited to the tunes of Chemical Residue by Herbie Hancock. |
