@@evanbatista8414 basically clutch up without a lever, just finding the in between with the shifter.

@@chrispulham4779 Correct, unfortunately.

Thank you!

Thank you!

I'm sure it did to a certain extent, but highway mileage would stay the same as the ECU only looks for ambient temperature during acceleration, not cruising. Conversely a fuel X would affect your highway mpg, as it inserts false lean signals from the O2 sensor rather than modifying temperature.

Yep, very little if any performance increase with all those changes. I sent my booster plug back for a refund. I have dropped 14kg from the weight (which is probably the most significant performance improvement). Fitting a LiFePo4 battery when the OEM one dies is probably the best bang for buck in that regard.

I don't have them so I can't say for sure, but personally if I went full headers and exhaust, plus my DNA intake, I would start looking at more advanced fuel management and tuning than my booster plug or a fuelX would be able to provide. These (and most) bikes run pretty lean from the factory So there's not a ton of room to open them up before they start bogging down.

😂😂😂 the joys of fatherhood

Kawasaki has an enricher on the FI Mean Streak 1600. Its odd to have a "choke" on an FI bike.

@@mijithebub If Kawasaki is also selling their bikes very lean, a choke makes all the sense in the world

Bistros bro I cook for a living

@@jewciferrides then why did u call them crocs

@@CoolBreadf3 because they are lol. Just a different model for kitchens without holes

These are the Bistros with non slip soles and no holes 👍

Bet it sounds amazing too!

Epic exhaust note, and a nice overrun when you shut off the throttle.@@jewciferrides

Aftermarket exhausts are 1/3 to 1/2 the weight of stock so yes, much weight savings. I did the exhaust first, so not sure how the intake on stock exhausts would be. Not as lean as intake + exhaust at least.

I ended up adding a booster plug to help with A/F ratio, I'd say the low end was affected more than top end for me, and the BP fixed that and smoothed out the throttle response for on/off bigtime. Check out my vid on that too!

That's how it's done on a Cub! 👍 Our poor clutches 🤣🤣

​@@jewciferrides😂😂😂 Honda 🔥

FuelX (all modelsl work in closed loop mode, when the ECU is listening to the O2 sensors, inserting various amounts of false lean (or rich for 1 and 2 on pro) signals for the ECU to make corrections. Closed loop is idling and cruising with stationary throttle. So if someone had made their bike, lean through modifications or altitude or otherwise to the point where it was not idling correctly, That's where the Fuel X would come in. The booster plug works in open loop mode, under acceleration and changing throttle position. It keeps the closed loop mode stock.

@@jewciferrides I understand the general idea of the FuelX. What I don't understand is how a rider can reliably select the best map, in real time, for the immediate situation. Seems as though many riders just set it at 5/6 and leave it there, which defeats the whole purpose of the multiple maps. Without some sort of sensor telling me if I am too lean or too rich for the current moment, it appears to be nothing more than a guess.

@@TheBigBlueMarble Exactly. My opinion is let the ECU and O2 sensors do their job for idling and cruising. The only time I would ever consider a Fuel X would be if I'd modified my engine into no longer idling properly. In that case, I'd just find the map that got the idle back to healthy.

These bikes are designed to run lean from the factory. No amount of ECU correction can fix that.

@@WaterDR-tw8re Not so. They are not designed to run lean, they are only configured to run lean. In fact, they run hot and rough at low RPM when running so lean. This can easily be changed by passing modified O2 and termperature data to the ECU during closed loop operation. They will then run cooler and smoother in closed loop.

Such a fun little bike, and very practical with the top box!

Probably a good call, the suspension leaves much to be desired as well but with gaiters and a sump guard you have some protection at least. Northern AL Royal Enfield meet might have to happen soon!

try fuelX

Very true! Just a bonus that it sounds awesome 😎

@@jewciferrides lol ya great minds do sound alike, I love the sound in Deceleration as well.

ummm mine didn't pop until I removed the stock headers for the open pipes from Hitchcock's, so it isn't just the cats causing unspent fuel to burn

@@SeamusMacMattain yes it is but with the stock pipes, they are mufflers and they did their job, they muffled the sound of the crackle and pop.

I agree on all points, and it seems great minds think alike! Good call checking the plug to verify. 👍

Thanks! It's a confusing subject, hopefully I explained it well 😅

???

They are Emgo Cocktail Shakers, upswept version. I flipped them upside down to make them lay flatter. They were about $150USD

@@jewciferrides its look So cool

Nothing wrong with that either! 👍 Style for days!

Very true, unless you're just after sound not performance. Thanks!

@@jewciferrides Aaannndd like you said you sometimes see a flatening of the stock torque curve with just slip-ons. Us crafty old wrenches seen it once or twice before 😉

You mean like starting at the intake port side of the head? Since if that’s the bottle neck point all of these modification won’t matter. However, If the intake side of the head isn’t the restriction yes, this modification will help. Waste of money in some bikes, while it’s helpful on others.

Thanks bro! You too!

Absolutely! ❤

Nothing but good times on these little Hondas. 👍

Maybe they don't want a gay sportsbike but just want to a little more out their enfield

Fair enough, thanks for the feedback! 👍

That's going to be an awesome ride!

That ride today was every bit as good if not better!

Absolutely, it's a shame not to let these motors sing! I also have a booster plug on the way, curious to see how it affects performance.

@@jewciferrides Do you have a euro4? I have a euro5 and was wondering if a booster plug actually works

@@ride_the_wind I have heard the Euro5 ones will throw a code after a while with the booster plug unfortunately.

​@@ride_the_windi think tecbikeparts have a video of it working with euro5

Not magic. Science 🤣

Exactly right, The engine at a specific RPM, will always turn the rear wheel at the same rotational velocity for the same transmission gear selected. My INT 650 does 60 MPH at a tad under 4,000 RPM in 6th gear with a standard (130/70/18) tire on the rear and a standard (100/90/18) tire on the front. Either Jewcifer put on a smaller front tire (<100/90/18 and he's not really hitting 60), put on a larger rear tire (>>130/70/18) or he has a extra tooth rear sprocket or his speedometer is off (my guess). Changing the intake or exhaust has no effect on gear radios or tire sizes, rotational velocity of the driving rear wheel will be the same for a given RPM if all gearing is the same before and after improving engine performance. Torque to the rear wheel will vary though. I have not installed the DNA kit, but some time ago I installed free flowing, old fashioned bottle type, low slung mufflers that remind me so much of my beloved Triumph of days gone by. I keep the baffles in but it is still plenty loud and makes a nice civilized roar at 4K RPM so I know when to shift without looking down at the Tach. The mufflers have given me an increase in low end torque that I am happy with. I see no reason to spend the money for the (IMO, grossly overpriced) air filter kit with the way my bike now performs.

@@jewciferrides Ha, not really. Please see my comment above.

@@oldgeezerproductions you are both correct, I'm still newish to bikes and didn't understand how the gearing and rpm are tied together. I appreciate the info! 👍 Also I agree 4k is easy to listen for with these rather loud cans.

@@jewciferrides Thanks for that. Knowing (and admitting) that you can be wrong is an important step toward wisdom, in my opinion. You have a good delivery and speak well and the wind noise is something you will fix as you make more videos, I'm sure.

Thanks man!!

That was one of my biggest questions, because I had heard so much about It being less pleasant to ride without one of those installed, after doing the air filter. In my experience it's actually smoothed out at low revs, stop and go traffic, etc. I am sure it would make more power with a tuner of some sort, but from a rideability and safety perspective, the ECU should be able to learn just fine after 15 minutes of idling and one or two gentle rides.

@@jewciferrides I'd be afraid of backfires and running too lean without a booster plug

@@theradiantchild No backfires, same decel pop and crackle as it was stock only mufflers swapped. The ECU does read the O2 sensors and learn in that first 15 minute idle, and so far I feel like it's kept itself from running too lean. That being said, I'm sure there are still power games to be had by adding one of the fuel controllers!

I put a boosterplug on my FZ6 yamaha 4 bange, it made a big difference, no stalling and a more beefy midrange 👍👍

Makes life so much easier!

What if I don't have a go pro mounting screw?

@@jewciferrides can I buy just a go pro bolt somewhere?🤣

@@theradiantchild Amazon I'm sure!

There's man. Love the sound too, The guy at the gas station was telling me all about Red rooster, gursewak, and the others , but you saw how his face lit up when he heard mine. I bet the filter makes a big difference even with stock pipes! I Got the mufflers from low brow customs (upswept cocktail shakers, flipped over to lay flatter) and the heat shields to cover the joints came from @revzilla . Thanks for watching!

@@jewciferrides Thanks a lot ride safe!!!
