the honda with kit ecu is capable of a very nice high rpm power band esp with the rev extension where it continues to make good power. Would be nice to see one of your dyno back to back with a zx10 and bmw. I have raced against the honda on rolls and it just walks everyone from 190-205+ (kit ecu velocity stack mr12 exhaust and a bit shorter gear.) I'm on a zx10 and i im ahead until 185 and then honda just walks me

[@BrockDavidson]

@@wateronfirefk We haven't been able to find a bike locally to test.

[@1tuffzx10]

My question is what kinda power could you see if there was a engine build on that motor 🤔. Big bore, ported head, cam? I'm leaning towards a ZX14 because I had 2 put a lot of money 💰 into my gen 2 ZX10 to get the power that these newer ZX10's are making with full exhaust & ecu tuning. Your best guess will be appreciated

[@johnmclean4911]

The invention of the Dyno for seeing how your bike or car engine was a huge step forward in engine tuning. It's just like having a window seeing how you can improve your engine performance. When years ago you would buy add on's and hoping when you drove your car or bike you noticed a different. But with the Dyno you can see some big or little changes. Where in the old days there's no bloody way you would ever notice such things. You are truly the master of horse power Brock.

[@wayno23]

You're right they're a awesome motorcycle, ridden my brothers 21 zx10rr a few times & walked away very impressed. Not just the power but they're actually reasonably comfortable & the quick shifter is so well sorted.

[@boostedbiker3878]

I ran a slightly modded 2019 or 2020 zx10 on my 2020 Hayabusa and he pulled from me like I was completely stock. All I had was an air filter and exhaust but still. After a couple of pulls we switched rides and did some pulls. What a bike! I thought being 1000cc and lower torque than my bike it would lay on takeoff but nooooooo, that thing is a rocket!!!! I'm 215 or so suited, other guy is about 135 with gloves and helmet but it was still no contest. The newer liter bikes are no joke!

[@Mechashiva76]

you know, I'm from dayton, but when I was riding street bikes in the late 90's I didn't have internet and I had no idea you were around. I had a 97 ZX7R with a muzzy full exhaust and a factory jet kit. after I installed the exhaust myself, I took it to a guy named Dyno Bob and he said he wasn't comfortable installing the jet kit. the dyno run without the jet kit showed 114hp. I had the dealership install the jet kit and then dyno'd it. this time it was 113hp. I sure wish I knew about you back then so I would've gotten the most out of my bike.

[@Mechashiva76]

I mean in Mexico ;)

[@BrockDavidson]

Hello! I know Dyno Bob very well as his Dyno was my go-to from the early 90's until the early 2000's. If you went to Kil-Kare on any Test and Tune night, I was there. At the time I had a "real job" to pay my bills and ran Brock's Performance out of my living room and garage at night and on the weekends. I didn't really do much wrench work locally as the reputation of my engine building capabilities somehow managed to make it up to the street racing population in the Chicago area. I built a bunch of really fast motors that won a whole lot of money. I didn't officially start Brock's Performance as my full-time gig until 2002. Even then, I didn't do much work locally, because it was pretty much impossible to handle that type of work along with the growth of my company. When we moved into our larger facility in 2008, we were so busy that I had to tell American Suzuki that I couldn't race any longer, is Brock's Performance took up all of my time. Today, our dyno is 100% booked with product development work for Brock's Performance and really has been since I built the dyno there. Our dealer locator is a great source if you need a dyno, engine build, or products installed. As far as the results with your jet kit... Peak horsepower results were always limited because carbureted bikes typically ran on the rich side, if anything, at wide open throttle... The problem was the drivability was incredibly poor until you got to wide open throttle (big brother before fuel injection). So while your peak dyno results might not have impressed you, I hope you received the increased drivability that a good install and adjustment can provide. Good luck and go fast! ( In Mexico 😉) Brock

[@Mechashiva76]

@@BrockDavidson ah very interesting. I can say I and Dyno Bob were overall impressed with the power output. Sportrider Magazine's test bike only put out around 106hp vs my 113'ish. 2nd question, I took my exhaust for my 1986 KDX200 to a powder coat shop to have them dip it in a strip tank to remove the carbon buildup inside it, but they said it didn't work. do you have recommendations on where or how to remove the carbon? I used a drill with a steel cable, but there's still some in there. Or do you know if carbon buildup makes that big of a difference? initially, there was about 1/8th inch buildup inside the header side. it's a lot cleaner now, but I can still see about 3-4 millimeters of carbon inside that I can't reach with a brush.

I love your videos, and especially this with all the data and comparison - thank you! And this despite me not being in the market for big horsepower, as I prefer tight, constantly winding roads, where you hardly see a straight piece of tarmac and speed range sit between 30 and 70 mph, and handling has absolute priority over horsepower.

[@BrockDavidson]

The lessons in this video apply everywhere, especially the smoothness during cornering. While big power may not be your target, as an (obvious) student of handling, you know how a poor tune will disrupt you chassis...especially on the exit.

[@64faffi]

@@BrockDavidson Thank you for answering, and you are absolutely correct about throttle response - there are few things as disconcerting as coming off a corner (1st gear being worst) and have the engine hesitate and/or coming on with an abrupt hit. Such poor throttle response, which plague a surprising number of modern motorcycles, is of course annoying just riding along in ordinary traffic, and adding a passenger exacerbate the issue and typically add banging helmets to the mixture for additional entertainment. Hence many owners would benefit greatly from a tune the way you do, even if they are not looking for more outright power.

[@johnnyappleseedz422]

Brock, this is an OUTSTANDING video. Especially seeing how with each addition, from Penta-carbon exhaust to the 3 different velocity stacks how you can see the numbers changing; increasing or falling short. That being said, do you believe the GEN 6 Velocity Stacks would be a wise choice to swap into my 2017 ZX-10RR? In addition, I checked the Kawasaki Parts and surprisingly, the 2017, 2018 and 2019 ZX-10RR all share the same the part part number for Duct, Funnel, #1, #2 and Duct, Funnel #3, #4. Yet the 2021 and 2023 ZX-10RR (there was no 2020 or 2022 model ZX-10RR) Parts Diagram shows NO STACKS in the Air Cleaner. What do you make of this? // EDIT: I found out why. The 2021 and 2023 use Variable Air Intake that is regulated by servo to maximize output at all rpms. When the funnels are raised, intake bypasses the system for optimal high RPM. When lowered, intake air passes through the taller intake funnels for increased mid-range performance. How neat is that?

[@BrockDavidson]

lol, I love marketing. Dollar's to doughnuts the variable rate intake is designed to reduce inlet noise. As far as "should I" - I can't answer that, but you can do the work and let us know what you think.

[@johnnyappleseedz422]

@@BrockDavidson Based on your video, the Gen 6 Stacks proved beneficial over the Gen 5 stacks in your test. So, if I were a betting man, I'd say what you proved for the Gen 6 stacks over the gen 5 stacks, it might be reasonable to believe there is an update to the Gen 5 design that led to a newer Part Number for Gen 6.; therefore, more power across the curve. They are a relatively cheap purchase so, I'll keep you posted!! Thank you for your response Brock!!

[@BrockDavidson]

Leaf blowers and any other items that falsely force a much higher air speed into the bikes ram air are useless. The proper way to read the difference in air/fueling at speed is via lambda sensor in the exhaust while logging throttle position, engine RPM at a minimum. Dyno operators who falsely promote simulated ram air that create conditions that do not exist in the real world are doing the owner a disservice, IMHO.

[@RugerGundog]

Brock, You are tuning the bike via a power commander with the BT used to unrestricted? Why not just apply your tune to the ecu via woolich in customary fashion?

[@BrockDavidson]

If you mean import the PCV fuel map into the ECU using 3rd party hacker software... the reasons are simple: A. The import function does not work correctly, especially on the dual injector bikes which rule the sportbike market. B. Ease of tunability. Japanese Sportbike ECU's are still quite neandertal when compared to automobiles and even compared to the latest crop of fast Euro bikes. This makes the PCV's simplicity and ease of tuning/adjusting work in harmony very well with them. C. Under race conditions, the PCV's simple format makes altering the fueling to match the current atmospheric conditions an easy and very beneficial task. D. The use of an inexpensive map selector switch allows for instant fuel map swaps on the fly. This not only comes in handy when accomplishing C above but it can also be used to compensate for poor quality fuel (run a rich/safe map until better fuel is available) or provide additional drivability/power when traversing between high and low altitudes. E. Anyone who disagrees with any of the above, does not own a dyno outfitted with all of the measuring and data logging equipment we have at our disposal here at Brock's Performance - much less 40 years of sportbike tuning experience to comprehend and properly implement positive performance enhancements as a result of the information provided.

[@RugerGundog]

Chatted with Don quite a bit in past years, he seemed to frown on the Power Commanders referencing failure rates. Not saying I can vouch for that as true or not but am in loop with several tuners using software to make tuning changes directly to the ecu vs a PC...even a few use both on same bike. I'm running a gen2 zx14r and gen6 zx10r both with a reputable tuner making changes via woolich software ( also unrestrict)unrestricted. But I guess back to the bike here. I suppose I would of thought you could of sent your tuning adjustments right to BT and had them load it to the handheld device.

So from what iv seen there is no point with doing after market Velocity stacks? I just did a 520 chain conversion with -1 tooth on the front to give it some more low/mid torque. What else can I do? We have E85 over here do you think that would be good to get it up around 210hp at the wheel? I would have to fully retune again yeah? Thanks heaps Andy

[@BrockDavidson]

Hello Andy. As we mention frequently, velocity stacks don't make power... They move power. We made the best peak horsepower using the stock stacks on this project, but that doesn't mean there couldn't be something better for your application. I'm not a big fan of E85, especially in normally aspirated applications because it requires double the volume of fuel compared to gasoline. We have the advantage of using VP MR12 here in the states instead. It makes almost as much horsepower, you don't need a completely separate map to drive home like you do if you do not have E85 available and run out of gas. There are also considerable gains to be made by using a true high flow air filter, as well as a lower viscosity oil with an anti-friction additive. Our combination is listed in this video, or see the link in the long description. Best of luck!

[@Nick-Edwards]

I’m confused on what exactly a power commander does? At one point I thought it collected data for a baseline flash and now I’m starting to think it’s a device that can switch between types of flashes or tunes? Second thing, can you tune a bike with a flash on it? I thought a tune was basically a flash specifically for your bike. And I thought a flash, from brentuing for example, is a tune that all bikes (all bikes as in same brand and model) can use. In other words a flash is a very general tune that all bikes can use.

The only things that would make sense on the Gen 6 ZX-10R's would be the additional power. The more power an engine makes, the naturally louder it is. More power at lower throttle openings can make angry tones also.

Hello Mr.Davidson, how are you? I'm a little late to the party but I wanted to ask your perspective/expertise on which liter bike to purchase? I've been looking at the new 2023 Ducati v4S. Just want one bike for all around riding and yes I know the v4S is expensive. Then I was looking at the 2018 Kawasaki SE and the Kawasaki 2023 zx10r. After watching this video, I must say you really put things a while different perspective! Didn't realize the zx10r was like that....😅! Please elaborate explain etc.............? Thank you

[@BrockDavidson]

It depends on what you are looking for? Comfort? Speed? Elaborate a bit more and Ill try to help.

[@ghuether0]

Why do the new inline 4s have a more aggressive sound vs the 05s, or is it just me? Do shorter pipes have something to do with it?

[@BrockDavidson]

Yes, the pipe as well as the additional noise created from the extra horsepower.

[@karlknudson4644]

what gearing are both bikes running brock ? does the 2017 have carbon fiber wheels you answered my questions at end of video kool

[@BrockDavidson]

@Karl, the 2016 is 16-41, the 2021 is 16-38 as tested.

[@vasilisgreen]

Something I've been meaning to ask is about the ram air. Does it actually add to the bike or is it just marketing jargon and if it does, do you have to account for it in the fuel map since the dyno room doesn't have the airflow of the open road?

[@BrockDavidson]

Yes, it works very well. The bikes sensors allow the ECU to select proper mapping. It can prove beneficial to map for these speeds on some bikes. But it has to be done on a closed course using a data logger, etc.

[@vasilisgreen]

@@BrockDavidson i see. So you need an open space to do it, it can't be properly done on a dyno, right? Thanks for clearing that up.

[@BrockDavidson]

Some dyno's try to fake ram air, but the only true way IMHO is with the bike moving at the speeds being adjusted.

[@vasilisgreen]

@@BrockDavidson ok thanks a lot.

[@danaberman7165]

Great video. Broken down very well.

[@1tuffzx10]

I don't remember seeing a video of you doing doing a ZX14 in the same manner. I would be curious 2 see the results. Only other question is what would happen if the head was ported & a bore was done on the ZX10, I've never seen anyone do that 🤔

[@BrockDavidson]

We have an entire series on the ZX-14R, search our channel for more info.

[@1tuffzx10]

@BrockDavidson so have you seen anyone do a head port & big bore on a newer ZX10 🤔? I've seen on a 14 but not on a 10. Just curious about what kinda powa 💪🏾could the port & bore bring out of a 10

[@BrockDavidson]

Not with a Gen 5 or 6. Check ejr performance zx10r

[@1tuffzx10]

[@mauricedavis2905]

Kawasaki has been porting the 1000's cylinder heads for a long time now. It's like they have been trying to win on the race track(aka wsb)

[@deathtomorons9388]

It's like they have been winning for a long time now. Alas 2021 was the Yamaha Year and this year is Ducati. Then again the Zx10rr has been restricted by a few Rev numbers because of the WSB regulations

[@troylambert5140]

I believe Kawasaki has been factory porting the ZX10 cylinder heads since the beginning '04 '05

Will you offer dual slip on exhaust for the 2023 Suzuki Hayabusa?

[@BrockDavidson]

We are a high performance company....so we will not. We do have a full ti dual CT in process though.

[@Bullet62013]

Are using zero weight oil in the ZX Brock?

[@BrockDavidson]

Yes. Full product listing in the long description.

[@Bullet62013]

@@BrockDavidson I used zero weight oil back when I was drag racing, good for 4hp on the dyno but I wouldn't be driving around on the street with it espicially in hot/humid weather and definitely not in my 1290 Super Duke R, it's a V twin which uses 15w 50 weight oil....lol. Luv to see you do something a little different and work your magic on a Super Naked like the KTM Super Duke R, not in your wheel house but it would get some views, maybe bring mine in for a dyno tuning session...lol. Nice work as always. We used to chat way back when at the track, I'm friends with Gary Benson and Mike Sweeny. Gary just hopped up his H2sx with your set up, runs great.

[@BrockDavidson]

@bullet1300 - certainly no lightweight oil for a 1290. We don't mess with the EURO bikes as so many of our customers like drag and land speed to gauge their real-world performance. I understand the Super Dukes have a phenomenal motor, but I've never personally ridden one.

[@Bullet62013]

@@BrockDavidson Ya I figured you didn't mess with the Euro bikes much. You ever get a chance to ride one they are insanely fun, the ergonomics are super comfy, its a total hooligan bike. I owned many busa's, 1ks amoung other bikes most smiles per mile hands down....lol. They may not go 200mph an hour but I stay in front of a friend's Gen 2 busa with a full Akrapovic, hf air filter, flashed and tuned busa from a second gear roll and stay in front till we hit 170mph, after that aero's are working against you without a fairing ....not bad for Vtwin....lol. I'm a canyon carving, road racer so the bikes suspension has been fully upgraded, it's a beast through the twisties, lotta fun leaving 200hp liter bikes for dead....lol. Go on KZbin and search 1290 super duke r dragstrip, there's stretched ones running low 9's to 8.50's blowing off stretched 1ks and busa's, pretty impressive. Happy Holidays Brock!

[@hisaanhaq4116]

Always wondered how these felt vs gsxr 1000 , i believe the gsxr feels the stronger bike through the midrange and then the zed will pull away

[@BrockDavidson]

That's typically what happen in an apples to apples comparison

[@jkreviea]

They ever gonna do the Ohio mile again? I remember the first time I met you, I was on my way to pick up my new GSX-R1000 from the other side of Ohio. I stopped by the shop to get lowering links so I could ride it home 😂

Amazing video Brock, just subscribed to you channel! I currently have the stage 1 but does the stage 2 BT now have your improvements and teaks on it? My 2021 is smooth but not as much as yours was, do you reckon it has to deal with stage 2, sprint and PCV?

[@BrockDavidson]

That's a question for BT Moto. I have no control over what they offer...only what we do. Our Stage 2 is without the fuel tune altered in the ECU.

[@therealjp3177]

@@BrockDavidson I understand, phenomenal work! Is there a way I can possibly get a stage 2 tune from you?

[@johnnyappleseedz422]

Brock, I am tossed up between your Penta-carbon full system and the new CT Meg. I like the cleaner, all black, shorter look of the Penta-carbon, but, I have to question as to why you introduced the new CT Meg? Does the CT Meg show better numbers on the dyno? Is there a video comparison available I can watch??? Will you soon offer the CT Meg as a all matte black ceramic coating like the Penta-carbon? And between the two, I saw the SAE J2825 db specs on both exhausts at your website, but which one sounds deeper (not louder), but deeper. Thanks again Brock. For $2K, I just want to make an informed decision between the two exhausts available.

Hi Brock.. awesome stuff. I also run a 250i. Just wondering how much load you're using for the pulls

[@BrockDavidson]

WOT? No load. Riding with under load to introduce the additive - that varies from zero to 20%. Mapping, we use tuning link and adjust the load/acceleration parameters to fit the application.
