Why are F2 Powerback kits better than trying
it yourself?
The main reason is we don't guess at the jetting. We install expensive, high
quality wideband air/fuel ratio monitors on all the bikes and let that tell
us where the jetting is REALLY at.
Trying to jet a bike by feel is like trying to guess what RPM's your motor is
turning without an RPM gauge in front of your face. You may guess close, but
you'll still be off. And if you want to get all the power you can out of your
bike, at all RPM ranges, and also get all the mileage you can, then you probably
better not guess.
A good wideband o2 sensor is about $450. Then, you need to be able to cut into
the pipe and weld in the sensor. If you have a titanium pipe, you won't be doing
this because the sensor bung is steel. Then you need to take all the time to
set it up. Then, you need to know how to use it and what kind of numbers your
looking for in the first place. Then, you can go buy many needles at $30 a piece
and main jets at $8.00 and leak jets and pilots and got to town. I think you
can see how expensive this can get between actual money and time spent. Or,
you can just use what we have spent all the time doing for you.
A good example of how the A/F monitor can help you is pictures #3 and #4. Picture
#3 is a spark plug after a high speed run, where the age old "plug chop"
was done. Picture #4 is the same thing. Can you tell a difference in how much
fuel is being used? We can't. The plugs look the same, other than other camera
angles.

The difference is that one plug was burning at 12:1 on the A/F meter and the
other at 13.4. Since the range your engine runs in is really 10:1 - 14.5:1,
the difference between 12 and 13.4, is a huge difference in fuel consumed and
also a difference in power made. Ironically, the 13.4 is better in both regards.
When riding the bike though, you would never know the difference between the
2 readings.
This is why our KTM Powerback kit uses a 140 or 150 main jet instead of the
stock 178. The needle needed in the KTM to really make strong pulling power,
dictated the use of a 140 or 150 main when wide open runs were made. The reason
for the 140 or 150 is because of the differences in elevation you may be riding
at. Oh yeah, we do actually take the bikes all over between 0 and 9000 ft and
ride in a variety of conditions. This is how we can give you specific jetting
for various elevations, when using our kit and the stock muffler.

And the product evaluations speak for themselves. So the end result is ironic.
The best power and best milage come at the lowest cost and least amount of time
wasted.
Why should I use Magnetizer products on my bike?
Today's high performance motorcycle engines make more power than they used to
for sure. Along with power come heat and friction. To combat heat and friction
lubrication is very important. Thats why we are such fanatics about clean oil,
using high quality oil and filters to maintain our bikes. The problem is no
matter how good our filter or oil is, we still get particles floating around
in our engines.

These cannot always be caught by the filter because the filter
must be porous enough to flow at a rate high enough that the engine doesn't
starve. The particles that do get caught by the filter make the problem worse
by blocking the filter even more.
Enter the world of magnetism. By placing magnets at key areas of the engine
we solve a few problems. As the magnets attract unwanted particles, they help
to keep these out of the filter, keeping our precious oil flowing. They also
draw the harmful bits away from the important parts like bearings and cams and
such. Up until this point the most popular way to do this was to use a magnetic
drain plug. With F2 s line of magnetizer products you now can check and clean
magnetic particles from your engine without losing your oil. Between every ride
or race. It really is the cheapest insurance you can buy for your engine new
or old. |
What makes our brake fluid coolers actually work when
other companies don't?
- They are located in the correct place.
- They fit on the brake caliper, where heat is developed.
-
Because the F2 brake cooler becomes part of the caliper, the extra finned area it provides dissipates the heat created by the fluid and caliper.
- No more lost brakes because the F2 brake cooler has fixed the problem.
