Re: DIY Tank raisers
 

I'll take a chance on it and test it with my 'seat of the pants' dyno. If it feels crap, I'll put it back to standard.

Let us know how you all get on :)

I tried something similar on a 400 once. Not raising tank, but taking away the snorkel and a plate that sat below where the snorkel used to 'scavenge' its air ... the inlet was still behind the frame - not in direct airflow, but the increased flow with removed plate fecked the fuelling totally at high speed!! To be fair I hadn't removed the plate myself, it was only when I couldn't get the fuelling right did I look into it further and realise that the plate had been removed ... took me ages to work out why :cry: ... but replacing the plate and suddenly it all worked and I was back to 'respectable' size jets ...

BTW I have put a few washers as raisers on my track SV ;) ... but that is like 4-5mm tops

I can see a problem with carbs, but have a feeling that FI might be a different story. I'm not too clued up on FI systems, I'll have to ask one of my closest friends - she has a PhD in mechanical engineering gained through her research into hydrogen gas fuelled engines and specialises in automotive FI systems.

I might not be that qualified, but it'll boil down to the engine either having a lambda sensor to sense the mixture, or a MAP/MAF sensor to sense the incoming charge and fire the injectors to suit.

Whooooosh

Re: DIY Tank raisers
 

Is that the sound of an increased charge of air rushing down the pipes... or is it the sound of what I just said going over your head? :-P

Re: DIY Tank raisers
 

The latter ;)

Re: DIY Tank raisers
 

The SV has a MAF sensor, on everything up to the K7 I think that's the only feedback?

Re: DIY Tank raisers
 

Are you sure about that

I'm not convinced, thought it was MAP

Re: DIY Tank raisers
 

Ach, might be. Some sort of air mass sensor anyway.
