Here's a True HP dyno chart with GREEN, being, simply removing the secondary butterfly PLATES (not the whole shaft, which would cause FI error code 29). Rather enticing, eh!?! Double BUT!  |

			Shift STAR Kit Includes: 2019 sv650 
							I received the parts yesterday, and got them 
							installed. The shifting on this bike is monumentally 
							improved. More positive engagement, not vague 
							feeling anymore like it was. I have 10 bikes, and 
							this was the only o e I had shift problems with. I 
							am a soft shifter. I think my problems might be 
							over. Shift star, detent roller with heavier spring, 
							and the adjustable shift stud are a fantastic 
							improvement. Well worth the wait!!!!

 2012 DL650 L2 Hey, I just had the shift star 
			installed at Factory Pro. I let Marc talk me into it after he heard 
			me lamenting about false neutrals and how "ratchity" I thought the 
			shifter was on my Glee. Yes, I keep the linkage clean and lubed but 
			I've never been happy with it. Well, I must tell you, the Factory 
			Pro shift star mod works. I wear work boots during the week and 
			touring boots on the weekend so I was always adjusting my shift 
			lever. Now I leave it in the "touring" position and all is good. The 
			shifting is now smooth and concise no matter which position the 
			shift lever is in. Tick, tick, tick go the shifts. Thanx Marc

			 Use this kit to advance the ignition timing 4 degrees for more power 
			at part throttle and at full throttle. Takes about 1/2 hour to install and adds 1-2 True HP. ............................. 
 Power Commander Ignition Module SCALING Notes (as of 2018) 
			In my experience, the Power Commander 
			Ignition module "says" +/- "10", but it really only seems to change 
			the ignition timing about +/-2-3 degrees (as of at least 09/19).  This was backed up by a DJ importer's experience. 
Testing on  
real load dyno, under realistic load, multiple DJ Ignition Modules on 600's 
and 1000's show that DJ +10  to DJ -10 "DJ degrees" equals around a 1% 
to 2% HP spread. You can't change the ignition timing 20 degrees 
and only affect the power by a couple percent -  That's an obvious fact. Now - I'm still perplexed about the guy who 
posted that he gained 7 HP on his dynojet dyno with a "+5" setting on his DJ Ign 
Module!.   5 DJ degrees /  about 
1 REAL degree = 5 hp? and also perplexed about the ignition map that I got from 
a DJ sponsored Race team that showed +1 and +2 and -1's in their 
"official"  map! Lessee? They changed the ignition timing a miniscule  
real .2 degree and they could see that hp change? A significant ignition timing change, that power can be measured would MAYBE be a real 1 degree - but you can only measure the HP change if the fuel mixture is absolutely PERFECT for Best power (NOT to misleading dealership level "AFR tuning") already - Normally, a REAL 2 degrees ignition timing change will change the power (on a Perfectly fueled engine) by about 1%. (example 100 True HP > 101 True HP if a "good direction change" OR 99 True HP if it was "the wrong 2 deg direction change"). 
 Zero "5 Dynojet degrees = about 2 Real degrees" So - what does that tell you?  Best regards - Marc  |

			Drop in a Factory Pro BMC air filter 
			and add 3hp-4hp at high rpm. Really. The stock FI system recognizes the increased airflow and automatically adds more fuel to compensate. We haven't seen any drivability problems caused by the filter - we can't say the same about other aftermarket filters! For best results, add +5 L with Yoshimura Fuel Injection Adjustment Box or really dial you bike in with the TEKA SFI (Suzuki FI adjust tool). Does not work well with power commander. Designed by the same Italian craftsmen that developed Ferrari's F1 Air Filters - this filter filters well, flows more air and lets the engine make more power than the stock air filter. Cleanable BMC air filter systems (avail. direct from Factory Pro) for more power - click here for more information. True Rear Wheel Horsepowertm scale - difference between other scales.  |

												Shifting 
												Tech - gearbox secrets 
												So.... you've looked at 
												gearboxes for years and  
												inside the cases, they look 
												pretty much the same. 
												Check this part out - 
												If the fingers are closer to the 
												pin that the shift shaft arm 
												needs to grab to downshift, 
												downshifts will be "quicker" and 
												vice versa.  | 
								||
												
												   |

												This is 
												good. The pins are centered between fingers when the shift shaft is at rest. If you look closely at the LH picture, you can see that I shimmed up the shift shaft centering stud with a folded business card, ~.024" offset made the difference.  | 
								
												
												   | 
												![]()  | 
												
												This is not 
												so good. The pins are not centered between fingers when the shift shaft is at rest. If they don't drop down fully, beyond the "pins", that prevents the "fingers" from dropping down and getting ready for the next shift. If you've got issues - check.  |

												Adjustable 
												Center Shift Stud, 8mm       
												$24.95   | 
												
												
												If the 
												shift shaft fingers aren't 
												centered on the shift shaft, 
												Factory Pro has the fix. 
												It's a
												
												
												special 8mm thread, offset 
												"centering" stud, adjustable by 
												almost 1mm. For example, the 
												difference in the above example 
												was only .31mm/.024". Install the 
												stud with enough threads exposed 
												for the locknut. This fits all the DL650 / SV650 and others.  |

Power Commander Ignition Module Notes
In my experience, the $350 Power 
			Commander Ignition module "says" +/- "10", but it really only seems 
			to change the ignition timing about +/-2-3 degrees (as of at least 
			02/09).  This was backed up by a DJ importer's experience.
			According to a customer, dj told him  that ignition timing, 
			doesn't affect power very much.
			That's just wrong.
			Factory Pro has over 30 years of research and development in high 
			accuracy tuning in general and 20 years in producing Ignition 
			Advancers (which REALLY DO change the ignition timing!)  and 
			we've been producing  
			dynamometers that read to .1 and .2 HP 
			increments.
Testing on  
real load dyno, under realistic load, multiple DJ Ignition Modules on 600's 
and 1000's show that DJ +10  to DJ -10 "DJ degrees" equals aromd a 1% 
to 2% HP spread.
How could you change ignition timing a supposed "TWENTY 
DEGREES" and only affect the HP by 1% to 2%????
You can't change the ignition timing 20 degrees 
and only affect the power by a couple percent -  That's an obvious fact.
If you had "Best Power" ignition timing set and you retard or advance the timing 
a REAL 10 degrees, the bike world hardly run, losing around 10% - 20% True HP  
if you retarded it.
if you advanced it a real 10 degrees, you'd lose a bunch of power, too and also, 
likely, give it fits of detonation.
Now - I'm still perplexed about the guy who 
posted that he gained 7 HP on his dynojet dyno with a "+5" setting on his DJ Ign 
Module!  - .5 DJ degrees /  about 
1 REAL degree = 5 hp? and also perplexed about the ignition map that I got from 
a DJ sponsored Race team that showed +1 and +2 and -1's in their 
"official"  map! Lessee? They changed the ignition timing a miniscule  
real .2 degree and they could see that hp change?
The 06 R6 that we were working on? It actually wanted more than 10 "dynojet degrees" 
in quite a few every part 
throttle positions for Best Power settings and all of the full throttle settings 
ended up at +5 to +10 "dynojet degrees". Compare that to the zero settings at 
full throttle that were supplied and the +1, +2 an +3 "dj degree" settings that 
were supplied.
A significant ignition timing change, that power can be measured would MAYBE be a real 1 degree - but you can only measure the HP change if the fuel mixture is absolutely PERFECT for Best power (NOT to misleading dealership level "AFR tuning") already -
Normally, a REAL 2 degrees ignition timing change will change the power (on a Perfectly fueled engine) by about 1%.
(example 100 True HP > 101 True HP if a "good direction change" OR 99 True HP if it was "the wrong 2 deg direction change").
So - the only reason to run a DJ Ignition 
Module is to use a DJ Quickshifter (until the TEKA 4 QS upgrade is released)
 the DJ Ignition function is, otherwise, essentially $350 useless cost.
When tuning on and  
EC997 dyno, 
(which has the capability of measuring .1 to .2 HP changes), essentially, there 
are only a couple of DJ Ign Module settings:
Zero
+ or - 5 Dynojet degrees or
+ or 1 10 Dynojet degrees
and maybe "7" if "5" and "10" make the same power
Don't expect huge HP changes - as, as described above, you'll see 1 or 2 hp at 
best (at least on a real dyno)
So - what does that tell you? 
That you need to do testing on a high quality dyne system, like the
Factory Pro EC997 .
Then, you too, can learn all these "unpopular" facts!
Like inertia HP isn't real HP in the real world, dj hp numbers are bogus, tuning to 
an AFR for best performance is a myth.... 
Join Xxxxxx Racing and Vesrah Racing and Suzuki NZ -
(I'm sure that the guy who got "7 DJHP" with a real 1 degree 
(aka: 5 Dynojet degrees)  isn't my buddy right about now, though....)
 
Best regards - Marc
