RE: flapper mod and air filter mod
Unless you're willing to also buy a PCIII USB and take the time to have it dyno-tuned then you prolly shouldn't bother with it. The flapper mod is just removing the flapper which gives you more air all the time. The way FI bikes handle this change is to throw more gas in at lower RPM's. So you'll be running reeeeeeal rich until 100mph + when the ram air starts kicking in.
There's also a flapper in the stock can -- aftermarket can takes care of that one[8D]
I'm not sure about the air filter mod -

The flapper mod is a good one, and doesn't require mapping.
It doesnt change anything past 5500rpm as the flapper in
stock trim is fully open by then anyway.
It takes 2 minutes to do, and it completly (and qucikly) reversible.

The "Air Filter Mod" simply refers to removing the screens
from the stock filters to allow slightly more flow.
Testing shows the stockers flow more then enough for the
stock bike, but others swear by a 2hp gain from BMC Race filters.

RE: flapper mod and air filter mod
i`ve done these mods to my 06 1000rr. MAKE SURE YOU REMOVE ALL THE SCREENING FROM THE FILTERS, EVEN THE PIECES IN THE GLUE TOP AND BOTTOM OF FILTERS, TAKE YOUR TIME.dont want any metal in the cylinders now! also the butterfly in the stock exhaust can be removed fairly easily, getting the pipe off is the pain in the ***, as all the rear trim has to come off. disconnect cables to butterfly,when the pipe is off,place bracket in vise so you can see the butterfly, bend tabs off of screws,remove screws, then butterfly.then you need to press the bushings out of the pipe. i did this by using a socket that fit on the bushing, hitting a few good shots and the shaft and bushing came out opposite side. remove shaft from pipe tap bushings back into pipe. get two blind head bolts and washers that are long enough to go from inside pipe through bushing, dab of silicone on bolt,fasten with nut and locktite. i was lucky and able to remove cables for exhaust valve by jiggling around without removing motor for valve. get pcIII usb and install, comes with enhanced stock map from dynojet,{called and asked}with all put back together, follow directions using buttons and add 4% fuel, 2 barsto low position. prepare to be completely satisfied! email me with any questions.

as the temp of the bike goes up enrichment circuits kick in to help keep it cool

this would be true if the bike had an o2 sensor and could tell how much air was going through it. maps are based off of air temp from the IAT sensor on top of the air box, throttle position, and rpm.

RE: flapper mod and air filter mod
yeah but we are not talking about WOT (in which case the flapper would be open anyway)
still since 2004 there have been hundreds of thousands of people who have done this mod and the results are 99.9999% favorable.
and yes the air temp is more for the fuel enrichment and fast idle at startup. however it will mess with the bike at high temps say at a stoplight. the air heats up inside the airbox and causes the map to richen.
thats why the bike will bog when it is around 220ish at a stoplight

If your bike bogs at 220 deg. how do you know the IAT is what's making the map richer? It very well could be just the coolant temp prompting the map change.

RE: flapper mod and air filter mod
i think you are confusing the MAP with a MAF or mass air flow sensor, the MAP registers vacuum created by the engine. not air going into the engine.
and as far as IAT vs coolant temp. i am pretty sure its the IAT because once the bike is moving and has air flowing through it the bogging stops even though the bike is still in the 200s.
i will be the first to admit that i am not an expert in this particular subject so there is the possibility i could be wrong but i do know how the parts work and what they do to the bike.

RE: flapper mod and air filter mod
Right, the MAP sensor does not directly measure mass air flow. But... in speed-density systems, the MAP is one of the parametersneeded to make the mass air flow calculation.
About the flapper, there is a vacuum reservoir and a check valve thatmaintain vacuum to the flapper diaphragm until the ECU de-energizes the solenoid at ~5600 RPM. Even if engine vacuum drops to zero, the flapper stays closed at engine speeds under 5600. I've tested and verified this.And it makes perfect sense if you're goal is to reduce induction noise. All this talkofthe flapper"variable function" and the "rigged dyno run" are nothing but figments of Ty's imagination. It simply can't happen with the stock setup.
