I have spent the whole winter making my FJR fast, I have the dyno runs to prove that it the fastest one. First I removed the restrictor named Air Box, then drilled holes in the head pipes just before the converter to help get better exhaust flow. Still there was more that I needed to do. I replaced the sparkplug wires, why would Yamaha be so dumb as to put resistors in the wires? I used #10 Romex but had to cut the wires at the coils and use wire nuts. Now I am getting someplace. I went to the local airport and got some jet gas and that made a 78.5 horsepower increase above the 48 horsepower all the other changes made. Real progress is being made now. I also disconnected the ABS hydraulic pump so the engine wouldn’t waste power running it. Suddenly I realized that as the engine went faster the air coming out of the exhaust blew harder. Eureka, the next solution for a power adder just came to mind! I used some gas dryer ducting and some hose clamps to connect it to the exhaust pipes then ran it up to the throttle bodies where it could force more air into the intake just like a supercharger. I don’t have dyno slips for these runs because it ran out of numbers for the chart and only made a straight line at the top. I think it should now run at least 325 miles an hour! Write to me and I will send you the instructions on how to make these changes so your FJR can be fast too.

Yeah, why waste exhaust energy spinning a compressor, when you can just dump it right back in? A guy wanted to do that with his Corvette a few years back, never heard any more on that.

I think you'll have to adjust the parameters for the intake temperature sensor, though, for best effect.

I moved the intake temperature sensor to the handlebars where it will get much better air flow, unlike when it was crammed in under the gas tank with all the other plumbing.

Another thing those dumb engineers missed -- whazzup with using an oxygen sensor? Well DUH #2, oxygen only makes up 21% of the atmosphere, why detect such a small amount of the exhaust. I'm looking for a high capacity Nitrogen sensor, after all, Nitrogen makes up 78% of the atmosphere so FI metering should be at least 3X more accurate.

You seem to have completely forgotten to scrub out the Carbon Dioxide, which is much heavier than either oxygen or nitrogen. Even though it is a minor part of the atmosphere, the extra weight can really slow down the intaking of air. I have never understood why YMC overlooked this factor. If you use the proper CO[SIZE=8pt]2[/SIZE] scrubber the air will be lighter, thus allowing more velocity of exhaust flowing into the throttle bodies...try it, it works! You should experience a further power gain on the order of your other mods added together...however be warned, your FJR will now go so fast you Must use a fireproof riding suit or you will self-combust when you shift to top gear...

You did use high speed duct tape right?

Thanks for the riding suit tip, I'll look for something fashionably done in nice pastels and made out of Nomex. I can also wear this same suit while posting political and religious threads to this Forum.

You observation about the CO2 is a good catch. Can I add the CO2 back to the jet gas as an effervescent to lighten the fuel?

I think so, but you will have to add a burp valve somewhere in the system or your gas tank will have that bloated feeling...

Yeah, those dumb engineers! But you should also consider in your quest for speed that no other element in the atmosphere can provide more fuel for your fire than the fusion rxn joining 2 H atoms into 1 He atom. Now that sir, could/should power you to the moon and beyond which would 2nd Fastfars' notion that a fireproof riding suit would be a must so as to not singe yo balls in the process! Burp valve optional at this point.....

...the fusion rxn joining 2 H atoms into 1 He atom...
So far I've had poor luck with that. Every time I coax two H atoms into joining together as one He atom I get a blinding flash of sunlight and when my vision returns all I see is a puddle of molten metal where my V-Max used to be. I don't seem to be able to get the 2 H atoms to agree to merge in a slow, civil fashion. Every time I try that at absolute zero all the good for nothing electrons want to do is fall in on the protons and just sit there. Some Navy guy has recently claimed that he can do this deed in a flask at room temperature, I'm waiting to hear back from him.

I think that by removing the tool tray, rear fender and relocating the ECU to the fairing I may be able to fit in this supplemental power source:

Ya know I've heard some pretty good things about the Flux capacitor, but maybe what you have is a problem w/your onboard supercollider. Have you checked to see if your bike is one of the one's listed for the supercollider recall notice?

The supercollieder works fine, it is the 3.3° Kelvin chiller for the superconductor that caused the focusing magnet to burn holes in the resonator cavity.

The big advantage of the Flux Capacitor is that if it does not work out you can return it 30 days before you bought it. With the supercollider you are stuck with the mess and can't stick H atoms together, let alone create micro-black holes.

Dang those supercollider manufacturers....haven't they ever heard of a 30 day trial period? Which is exactly what you get w/the flux capacitor....er, actually 60 day pretrial period?

One other thought, if the enantiomeric structure of your superconductor is not focused properly on an astronomical horizon it can lead to some serious resonance imagery.....kinda like `shrooms man!!

 
I find if I shave my anus and run a vibrator up there, I get the sensation of going fast..

It's a Hellofa lot cheaper and a wee bit more fun!
