So I have been worried about the health of my 2004 Kawasaki ZX6RR since I got it. Bought it last November and storied it pretty much right away after a handful of rides. It didn't seem to perform as nicely as my (crashed) FZ6.
The bike came with an expensive full Micron exhaust. Great right? Not really. Figured out the bike is running lean because of it and that I needed a PCIII. At around $350 to get one it seemed like something I wouldn't be able to afford to get on my very tight budget. It looked like the previous owner had a PCIII installed that was removed before he sold it to the bike shop.
I search on ebay for things for my bike and to see if anyone is selling a full bike and what they are looking for these days. On the most recent search a few days ago for fun (and to look at the cheap knock off Pazzo levers) and found brand new PCIII for only $170 for my bike! Due to the fact it had been sitting on a shelf for years - since only 2000 of my year and make were made. That made it a hard to sell item for them, lucky for me!
So what can I expect after installing the PCIII? Any tips or tricks? I'm on a budget so going to get it tuned by the shop won't be possible. Seems like the map I can load will be close to what I currently have - stock filter, full exhaust, no cam changes. Will it be close enough to perfect without visiting the shop? Anyone with PCIII experience any tips would be great!
