What did yall pay for the pcv? I ordered mine from Indy super bikes for 279.95 free shipping... Waiting for it is killing me...
Travis at thunder is going to machine my custom round air kit next week... Can't wait for that either One of my Compound brothers is a paint and body guy... I'm going to have him do some black vinyl striping similar to some road glides I've seen One of the rubber nut things the windshield screws into fell out tonight while I was attempting to reinstall the windshield... I took the right hand glove box out and recovered the nut... But I'm going to have to remove the lower and outer fairings to put it back in While I have the fairing off I'm going to cover the inside with a Dynomat product to cut down on the rattles Its raining tonight and Saturday.. I work Saturday and have my daughter this weekend but have a unboxing video to publish of my grasshopper back rest... It's definitely to far forward and a little weak... But I sould be able to modify it enough to get it to work... It was the right price and I was surprised at the quality and finish.... As much as the weakness of the post... The vinyl matches the seat better than the kawi sissy bar pad (is the kawi pad covered in leather?) Spent some time in hospice with my brother Robert... It is sad to see such a great guy end up brain dead and dying... I've been wearing my helmet That's all the updates for now

I bought a couple boxes of well nuts for my Tour Glide fairing from some industrial supply house. I think I paid about $12 for both boxes (20 total).

The loss in power is due to the affect the exhaust has on the engine and it's new fuel requirements to match the less restrictive exhaust. The engine is now a more efficient "air pump" with an increase in total airflow. It needs the air/fuel ratio tuned to match that air flow increase to achieve not only parity with the power you had with the stock exhaust, but to achieve the full improvements that can be obtained with the s/ons. These engines and ECU's are mass produced and power/torque levels are not consistant. Every engine is different and yours isn't quite as happy with the s/ons as others have been. Not to worry as with proper tuning yours may in fact be an exceptionally good running skoot. Adding a free flowing intake, again with proper tuning will increase the breathing capacity of the engine, resulting in more power. RACNRAY

Someone help me out with this PCV issue
I ordered my PCV from a website that listed the Vaquero, but didn't list the SKU #. I just looked at my order confirmation email, and it reads; Products ordered:
----------------- Fits years: 2011 SKU: 17-029 Product: Dynojet Power Commander V Kawasaki Vaquero 1700 Quantity: 1 Selected options: Add The Autotune: No Thanks Item price: $ 279.95 looks like it will do air/fuel and timing... But according to other sites, including Power Commander = that SKU is for a KX250F Maybe Ray will chime in (hopefully). if they send me the wrong part I am going to be pissed!

I was in Lowes the other day and seen that they sell them there as well, about a $1.25 each.

Maybe I am reading the results wrong, but it looks like your peak is over 80HP, but at the top end of the revs...can you explain why you are measuring peak somewhere in the middle of revs?

That's why I looked around for a cheaper price. The TG fairing takes 7 of them. Why pay $10 when I can spend 1/3 of that.
