ok as far as the full exhaust goes,which one is a better match for my bike....BROCKS(NO SIDE WINDERS) OR AKRAPOVIC. And as far as spray i really dont want it. jus want a beefy motor that can still be my everyday bike...:buttrock: :buttrock: :buttrock:
I had the same bike. Remove your secondary throttle plates. Install all short oem velocity stacks in the airbox. Get a bmc race air filter. Lower it, add some inches to the swingarm. Get a full exhaust system. I like brocks they make good power where u need it. Try to find a Kawasaki kit racing intake cam. Get it custom dyno tuned. Honestly I sprayed the **** outta my 10 for a long time with no problems (dry 30-shot).

Pm Garth285 on here he had the fastest 04-05 zx10 when I had mine. He'll help u out
You should be able to hand it to him when you guys finally get them lined up. for one thing those years r1's did not make the power the newer stuff is making and you weigh over 40 pounds less than he does. Besides the mods my advice would be practice alot and really learn your new setup after you get it done!!!! The rider will make the difference. Brocks gen 3 full exhaust system any of there pipes/mufflers be it alien head or megaphone or standard style will make good power, all short oem stacks, bmc race filter, pc3 usb and a good custom map from someone who knows there stuff, tell them to make two maps one for pump gas and one for mr9 (since you dont want to spray it thats the best fuel to run)have them email them to ya and download them to your laptop. if you racing use the mr9 and load that map into the pc3 if you streetriding and pumpgas use the pump gas map.(lol thats the cheapest way to do this, if you wanted to spend the money on it you could get a multfunction hub and map switch for like $180), bolt in extensions, lowering link, strap kit for front, regear it, airshifter, and run a dragtech or power one rear tire. That should be a good basic setup of components get with someone who has that exact bike for exact gearing specs I would guess -1 +5 but talk to someone who's done it. personally I would have put a small dry shot on it and not told anyone and ran line for nos solenoid and airshifter to the same bottle:potstir: but thats up to you.:2thumbs:

I have to say you guys are great. i appreciate all your answers and opinions...... i will get some pics of it soon......oh yea how do I find this "Pm Garth285 on here that had the fastest 04-05 zx10????"

Also join zx10r-net. Those guys helped me alot to squeez cheap hp outta my 10. Between there & here u have tons of valuable info
04-05 zx10 akrapovic f/s - Psychobike.com - Motorcycle Drag Racing Headquarters
here's a akropovic for sale by one of the members on here he's down to $525 and he's accepting offers. Shoot him an offer u might get a good exhaust for a decent price. I still like Brock's though but for 1/2 the price of a new system u can't beat it
lower,strap, one downin front, short valocity stacks from kaw just order the 2 outside short ones thier only about 15 bucks and you can install them in 20 min you have a big advantage wight wise you should beat him if you both have about same modes if you dont you just need to save money and get more seat time
practice alot

l get more seat time
These guys couldn't have said it any better!!! Doesn't matter how fast your bike is, if you can't ride....then you are as slow as a :turtle:
I have a set of 4-7" Myrtle West bolt on extensions i can sell to you if you're interested. Only had them on the bike for a few months and then installed a longer arm. I also have the chain guard we extended to go with the bolt ons along with an extended brake line. You can price those bolt ons new at Schnitz and them PM me with an offer.
