Ended up having issues with the PCIII the second spring(first ride of the season) ended up phoning their tech support and getting them to re-program it through my laptop. No changes to the intake at all, no lack of power at any throttle position speed or gear. Still pulls like a tractor all the way through the range.

- May 29, 2015, 12:47:54 PMI simply added coasters and a K&N filter to the left side. Some folks remove the left side altogether and suck air from the right side (caddman deal).
Again, Under the References tab there are some mods for this. http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/forum/index.php?action=links;cat=26;start=20- Coasters - http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/coasters.html ; http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/reedvalveremoval.html

- Caddmann mod - lot's of these sort of things. http://www.vulcandrifterriders.com/forum/index.php?action=links;cat=62
Just remember, with our bikes you WILL need to add a FI box like the Cobra or PCIII if you change the intake and pipes.

- May 29, 2015, 08:16:45 AMKawasaki uses a combination of intake restriction and exhaust muffling to meet emission specs. Putting on the low restriction pipes made it louder, but the intake is stifling the airflow. This was done on purpose. Opening up the intake will lean out the mixture a little bit, which will, in turn improve cylinder filling, which will improve efficiency. Thunder makes a nice system as does Baron, to open up the airflow. They are both EXPENSIVE....The Caddmann mod seems to be a good alternative, if you don't mind that car air cleaner hanging off your bike. Either way, you will definitely increase the sound volume from the exhaust.
