With current events its all too easy to let yourself slide down that slope of no hope

So today I took a hold of the reigns again and got some of my normal routines done - of course one of them is changing zorsts

I had seen this coming up and ended up bidding against an overseas buyer - wether they knew what they were bidding on or were looking for a cheap system I dont know but you should have gone more

I know the maker of this company and their pedigree so this was on my buy list - the next one will be too !

Some of you know about BEET but PS-K (Pro Spec Kawasaki) are the dark horse only known in Japan. Had no idea they had made a system for the ZXR but do know all they ever race is Kawasakis

So, it arrived a while back and sat in its box , I had looked at it and headers are exact same as BEET but then it changes - it has a double link pipe , can is similar to BEET but also close to the KRT FIII system. Looking like it is made up of the best of both worlds

OK,

Thinking these headers look identical I just remove the collector link pipe from my BEET and hey presto the PS-K slides right on tight , hook up the mid section and end can and get it bolted and springed up.

Start bike up and what a gorgeous deep burble it has

Next, test drive - the bit I like

Initially while cold responce is slugish although there is a noticeable grunt , mmmmm temp' gets up and "rock n roll " goes like a scolded cat

I had just been saying to Neosophist that the FCRs were needing some Winter fettling It's the BEET , the settings I have are for the KRT FIII system and this PS-K loves them

An indicated 110mph in 3rd gear on the redline - well chuffed with that and from 6K it pulls like a fookin train , below that its no slouch - nice bit of grunt.

So here is what I think, my assumption it would join the best of both systems is right on the money. The FIII always gave me a feeling of torque / grunt and with my jettting showed perfect fueling on the dyno , the BEET shows a lack of this but engine revs up real quick looking for top end , my jetting might require bigger MJs usually when peak power tails off so quickly larger mains raises that defeciancey but I do read some lean off more My TMR-MJNs had same problem and I jetted up to 160 mains - you dont even go this big in 1200s However my MAJs also go huge to 200 or there abouts - the TMRs also showed near perfect fueling on the dyno and the tuners were blown away!

Anyhoo, back to the pipe - it has a longer diffuser plate than the BEET but doesn't mimick the double diffuser the FIII has - this could be a get around as the BEET & PSK-K use header balancers that the FIII doesn't, I know these clean the the header of excess fuel allowing higher BHP.

All in a fantastic system - my only problem is I now feel my BEET needs to sit in the cupboard Great I can use the Ti headers on this mild steel system with Alloy can but when you feel a shift in performance like this it cant be ignored

Needs renovation and a new sleeve on can but I dont mins that

Would hate to think how much to have the rest of it made in Ti but my gawd would I ever love too

MM!

i cant help but think we need a vid to hear the sound of this beast!

So thats what it looks like on the bike.. have to say im impressed to hear that it managed to sort out the weak spot in the rev range. The design sounded like a good idea, and that it might work better than your current set-up when we were talking about it. However, all too often things that seem good on paper don't really make any noticable difference.

Those headers even look clean again
