2002 CBR954RR getting 2004-7 cam upgrade. History show about 10bhp increase.

After almost 2 years of work and wait.

Finally the hardware to be the foundation of Raptor Road Performace dash system is working.

4 inch round tft with backlight ability that will be super visible in the brightest daylight.

240Mhz dual cpu controller with huge amounts of ram
WiFi and Bluetooth interfaces

Touch screen.

I have previously made modules for GPS speedometer, lean angle and of course clock.

That's the news, the hardware works and programming the hardware was been proven at a basic level.

Now the hardest part for me, the graphics.

Then the tedious part of interfaces for different year, make, model bike.

A couple quads to get checked. Not shown LTR450ER.

This Can-Am DS450X doesn't really "need" anything.

An "it would be nice if" I can reduce the exhaust pipe temperature. Currently 850 degrees, day glow red. A typical thing with single cylinder 4-strokes.

Not on this go around. We have the data now to choose the "best/most effective/practical" solution.

Want a hard point bolt on solution for your camera, telemetry or phone mount.

I can make adapters for any metric or SAE thread.

This example is for 1/4-20 camera mount, that threads on the ball or mount, to hard point to one of the unused threased holes in the top triple tree of a BMW R9T. The bike was converted to clipons leaving a theaded hole of the strength level for handlebars on a liter bike.

It's been on the bike for 5 years and survived a high side crash that took out the dash.

Another custom machining and installation job.

Customer prefers RAM mounts with ball on steering stem.

The 2024 ZX6R uses a 10mm hex key steering stem top "nut". This setup prevents use of the RAM steering stem ball mount system.

The challenge was to find a way to fit the odd ribbed taper of the RAM stem mount in the small hole and secure it.

To solve this, I machined the back of the stem mount for a flush fit down the 10mm hole. I know the strength is not compromised as I have been using a similar set up on several of my liter and track bikes. It won't break unless something else bad already happened. I.E. high side crash the destroys dash, controls, tank etc.

Then a different retaining system, similar/same to another brand in popular use was fit down the steering stem.

Job done.

We fabricate what can not be purchased or what is needed NOW.

This SV650 has a 1999 TL1009R front end. It's what "they did" back in the day. This has been an endurance race bike for a long long time.

Did some experiments with fuel, air filter and air box.
Red is No Ethanhol fuel and no other changes from previous session.

Blue is simply a switch to 93 octane with ethanol. %8.3 in this case. Is it really worth almost 1rwhp. Maybe. We know it is possible.

Green is 93 but with the snorkels removed from the airbox. These snorkels are use in lots of bikes with no ram air. The biggest purpose is intake noise control. 1/2rwhp. Yup, I'll go with that but the bigger thing and this was something I could see and "feel" is the increase in torque. A just of over 2 for free.

Orange, 93 but now with the stock air filter swapped for a "DNA" high flow. Very similar to K&N. Sort of the European version of K&N. I'm not sure why this was a "less than" run. It didn't feel that way.

Black/Blue, still 93 but this time with a Sprint PF08. Seems ti like this. Up 1rwhp and 2+ torques all for the cost of an air filter, free removal of restrictive snorkels and less expensive 93octane.

Note: I seldom advocate fuel with ethanol in bikes but as a 2023, it's built for it.
