Motorcycle Flasher Module Installation

FLO-COMMANDER INSTALLATION

I recently purchased the flow commander from you guys, and used it in conjunction with my Ivan's jet kit and Hindle slip on, on my 02 R6. After installing the jet kit and the pipe the bike really came to life, the 6k dip was greatly reduced and the top end came on much smoother and stronger, however i still wasn’t completely satisfied. I then purchased your product after much debate. I was skeptical to spend the money on something nobody that I knew has ever used. Well after I installed the flo commander and put it on the dyno, I gained 6hp at 6,500 RPM`s i gained 4hp at my peak hp and at 14,500 RPM`s I gained 7hp. I got the mid range finally leaned out to 13.2 to 1 all while keeping the top end right in spec. The throttle response and pull is sooo smooth. This bike feels better than any 03 or 04 that I have ridden and pulled an impressive 104rwhp with just those previously mentioned mods.

Assembly is very simple and can be accomplished by a novice mechanic. It took me about 2 hours but I was keeping a log and recording pictures. Below is a list of tools that will be required.

The Flo-Commander ties/blends each of the carburetor's fuel to air mixtures to one, Thus eliminating the results of uneven air pressures around the carb air jets causing the multiple fuel/air mixtures of the diff. carbs to thus be much better synchronized through-out the entire RPM range (approx. 3000 to red-line or 1/16 - 1/8 throttle position to W.O.T.) instead of just at idle. You adjust the fuel/air mixture of all the carbs at once by adjusting the thumbscrew to add or limit the air going into the main circuit. The carbs in which we remove the main air-jet to install the tubing adapter have a carefully sized and shaped restriction inside the tubing adapter. We use this, and use the same restrictions already in place (on the carbs we just press the adapter down over the air-jet), to ensure that even if the flo-com. adjustment is opened way up it won't be dangerously lean. When opening it all the way, it does allow a certain amount more air through (to go slightly leaner in the mixture) because even though the restriction is the same size, the other effects such as air velocity & flow, in the tubing, allow / enable it. You then have a more broad range of adjustment.

The first sought after, and now acquired goal, is smoother circuit-to-circuit transition areas, as well as much better synchronization. The next sought after and acquired goal is being able to adjust (to a certain degree) multiple carburetors from one point.

End result; more TQ & HP, a more smooth and predictable power curve, convenience of tuning, the flo-c. will aid in determining where your jet size should be, if you make radical engine mods, while allowing the finer adjusting to be done with the unit itself. How much power you gain will vary , but, we have seen averages of 2 or 3 in a few areas, up to 10 or 12 and higher in others. An over all average gain in a particular situation, as long as the installer of the Flo-Commander at least average skills as far as a conscientious mechanic, and (DEPENDING ON WHAT WORK HAS ALREADY BEEN DONE & HOW CORRECTLY IT WAS DONE) has been somewhere between 4 & 6 hp , and so importantly a MUCH SMOOTHER application of that power.
