That's understandable, you simply never exceeded the range of the current programming, so it's still injecting the same amount of fuel. Get the head ported and run pods and see what happens
It's easy to refute my statement, just show me how the computer determines airflow, if the computer can not measure airflow then how does it know it needs to compensate for the additional airflow?
Electronic fuel injection is a hobby of mine, and I enjoy arguing, so do your best
Well, if the bike never exceeded the range of the existing programming with a set of Kerkers and ran the same, isn't that what I said regarding changing any of the DFI parameters? It apparently didn't matter whether you are running stock or aftermarker exhaust (they are both within the range of the programming...which is what the Kawasaki dealership said when I went to Kerkers in 1983. Besides, in those days, the technology wasn't there to re-map. Nothing else was changed...airbox was stock. When I went with the Kerkers, I wasn't after performance enhancements (and it ran the same, with or without an aftermarket exhaust), merely looks and I wanted it to sound faster:laugh:
I was not disagreeing with you, I was just explaining why that was so.
The easiest and cheapest hack to an efi system is to drill a hole in the top of the fuel pressure regulator and install a screw to adjust the preload on the regulator spring to increase the fuel pressure (turns it into a adjustable fuel pressure regulator). This was mentioned in one of the above posts (I just added a little more detail).
Not only does the Kerker look better, sound better, and add a (little) performance, it's also a lot lighter than the stock exhaust, and lighter is always better
