Vaquero Air Cleaner by Roaring Toyz

[Scootergptx]

Just picked up my bike this weekend and was pleasantly surprised to see that in addition to the V&H slip ons and the roaring toys intake, it had the PCV under the seat when I went to add air to the shocks.

Got the mapping and hope to have it remapped by the weekend.

Anything to look for to see if the throttle mod is already done too?

Open up the throttle grip housing. Look to see to see if there is a nice piece of machined aluminum between the plastic grip barrel and the throttle cables. If the cables are laying against the plastic grip barrel, you do not have the mod. If the cables are laying against a nice machined piece of aluminum, then you do. (Assuming stock or Kuryakyn grips - not sure if other grips are man'd from aluminum...)
Ride safe,

OK. guys and gals, I have a 2011 Vaquero with the big 3. The air filter is a stock replacement K&N, V&H full exhaust. and com.-5. I really haven't notice a big difference. And I still have some the throttle lag, What is the Racnray throttle Mod?

Greetings,

Ray runs a shop in south Florida. He has been working on scoots for years and is a huge fan of the Kawi 1700's. Specifically the Vaquero's. Has 85K on his. Anyhow, he too was annoyed by the lag in throttle response and dug in to investigate. See one of his posts on the topic, here.

He found the cause and has manufactured a solution, which MANY of us have implemented (purchased).

He will perform the modification on the grip and get it shipped back to you very quickly. If you are thinking about changing grips, send him the throttle grip before installing...
At any rate, it works and removes that lag from the initial twist of the throttle to the engine responding.
I did the RacnRay mod before the big three. It was an improvement without a doubt. I wanted more sound and better fuel economy, so then did the big three...



Ride safe,
