Re: ZX10 tuning info - Blade/Perkles/Rocket
Get it now, sorry I was being tick
My personal opinion is I find the fueling delivery and throttle response very good and buttery smooth in all power modes.
Funny enough I asked the same question when looking into this (I did say I did my research ).
I have checked my old emails and found the following comment back from Dynojet:
"The alterations via the power commander will be suitable to all map modes. Due to the way the bike limits/controls the power delivery in these modes and due to the fact that the power commander uses a throttle position based map file it will run fine from the one map file and the bike can still utilise all its stock map modes."

Sounds good. Look forward to seeing the results as we have similar set ups.
Who are you using for the remap ?

Re: ZX10 tuning info - Blade/Perkles/Rocket
Perkles... ORDER A NEW ONE!!! :O
You will never ever need to modify it, EVER!
You'll get great money for yours still (at least £9k) and that goes straight into the new one so you've got bugger all money to find (bugger all in relation to the overall cost)..
Exhaust for personal preference
Track fairings as insurance
Remap to get the most out of what is already there
DO IT !!!!

Re: ZX10 tuning info - Blade/Perkles/Rocket
Am I right in thinking the price difference is £1300 from last years model to the new one without ABS? You get more than £1300 in the brake components alone !!

Re: ZX10 tuning info - Blade/Perkles/Rocket
The very latest bikes are very complex to remap due to the riding modes and advanced traction control systems. BSD told me they cannot remap Panigales as they would have to spend a lot to update their equipment to do it.

Re: ZX10 tuning info - Blade/Perkles/Rocket
They sell a non-ABS option so I'm guessing they dont..
I think that's compulsory from 2020

Re: ZX10 tuning info - Blade/Perkles/Rocket
Do they? I thought they all came with the KIBS?
The Z1000SX only comes in ABS versions next year.

Re: ZX10 tuning info - Blade/Perkles/Rocket
They listed a non-ABS model at Motorcycle Live but looking at MCN and Kawasaki's website they no longer list it - maybe it was an error at the show?
You can at least turn ABS to front wheel only and off altogether if you so wish

Re: ZX10 tuning info - Blade/Perkles/Rocket
That's a new feature then as I have the gen4 zx10r with the optional abs and it cannot be switched off.
