V-ForceD2 Set up Tips?

(1/3) > >>

MarkNZ:
I ordered a VForce Delta2 for my 04 today, It won't arrive for 2 weeks as I live in the South of New Zealand. Thats cool, but will I have to make any Jetting changes when I put it on ? From Std I've already Leaned the Needle one notch and moved to a smaller Pilot, the Bikes now done 3 hours(All new Kawasakis sold here get a Free Motor Minder installed!is it the same for you 04 Guys in North America?) , And is it an easy Bolt-on ? My Bike is running a PC Platinum Pipe and Silencer, 70:30 91 Std Gas and 105 AVgas, 40:1 Motul 800 . I do most of my Riding at Sea level up to  max about 1500'

Paul:
The hardest part is cutting the carb boot. Otherwise, I didn't need to do anything special with my '01.

MarkNZ:
Cutting the Carb Boot??, I asked about that and the Dealer said 'You wan't have to'! Is it major Surgery or just a Nick with a Knife ?

mikesmith:
Major surgery,if you can call it that.But its easy,so dont worry.

NastyNick:
actually the VForce Delta2 comes with instructions and a couple of nuts/washers to get the cutting job done.  It's no biggy, just make sure you have a decent blade on your hacksaw and to clean the manifold (boot) after your done cutting it.

As a side note, you have to do this the G3 reed cage assembly too.
