Aren't there power modes on the zx10r?

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."

ive just ordered a bmc filter for mine ,im going to get it serviced then onto the dyno in the new year

Are you just getting a power run first ?

no will get it remapped ,I expect they will do a standard power run to compare a before and after

Sounds good. Look forward to seeing the results as we have similar set ups.

Who are you using for the remap ?

BSD I emailed them today and booked it in ,they said they have done lots of gen 4s with good results

Sounds good when are you getting it done ?

Got any other mods planned ?

not for the road ,will see if its something I want when I do a few more track days
At the price I can get the new model im so so tempted to just order one but I must resist

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 !!!!

If I was in your position Perks I would definitely be getting a new one.

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 !!

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.

I thought abs was compulsory on all bikes next year ?

They sell a non-ABS option so I'm guessing they dont..

I think that's compulsory from 2020

Do they? I thought they all came with the KIBS?

The Z1000SX only comes in ABS versions next year.

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

That's a new feature then as I have the gen4 zx10r with the optional abs and it cannot be switched off.
