flapper mod harmfull
has anyone heard of this??.A friend"heard" thatthe modlets too much oxygen into the engine (over-oxygenated) and this is harmfull in the "LONG RUN" of your engine life. Is it possible to have too much oxygen in the engine?? WTF, figures, I just did the mod two days ago. I can't imagine there being any advearse NEGATIVE effects to the engine or electrical components with this mod, but then again, I am far from being mechanically inclined.

if you do a baseline dyno run with an air fuel gauge you would see that the bike is stupid rich down in the low rpms anyway.
now consider that the flapper is only closed at low rpms
like i said after about 5500 rpms the flap is completley open letting air in like it isnt even there
now if you disable the flapper so it is open all the time the extra air will help to lean out the stupid rich fueling choking it

SoI Did the Flapper Mod yesterday, I did notice a better response in the lower rpm's and a slight growl comming from the intakeI suppose. Another thing I noticed was the temperature, When cruising at 5000 rpm's same road same gearI used toremain at184 degrees, after the mod I'mset at179-180 degreesand today was a lot hotter than yesterday. A lot of people claim that the flapper mod doesn't do anything really for power, but this dude actually dynoed the thing and it looks like a decent improvement http://www.hooliganbiketech.net/hond...lapperdyno.jpg

and he has documented dyno proof that the flapper mod gives hp increases

The flapper is there just to pass noise emissions and the same for that padding on the inside of your fairings. Before a machine can leave the factory it has to pass two emissions tests, noise and exhaust. leave the flapper on the intake will be quite. Take it off and it gets louder. It will n ot harm the bike in any way if you remove it and the same goes with the reed valves on the valve cover all some known as a PAIR valve.
