V-ForceD2 Set up Tips?
« on: March 16, 2004, 04:09:44 PM »
I ordered a VForce Delta2 for my 04 today, It won't arrive for 2 weeks as I live in the South of New Zealand. Thats cool, but will I have to make any Jetting changes when I put it on ? From Std I've already Leaned the Needle one notch and moved to a smaller Pilot, the Bikes now done 3 hours(All new Kawasakis sold here get a Free Motor Minder installed!is it the same for you 04 Guys in North America?) , And is it an easy Bolt-on ? My Bike is running a PC Platinum Pipe and Silencer, 70:30 91 Std Gas and 105 AVgas, 40:1 Motul 800 . I do most of my Riding at Sea level up to  max about 1500'

The hardest part is cutting the carb boot. Otherwise, I didn't need to do anything special with my '01.

Cutting the Carb Boot??, I asked about that and the Dealer said 'You wan't have to'! Is it major Surgery or just a Nick with a Knife ?

actually the VForce Delta2 comes with instructions and a couple of nuts/washers to get the cutting job done.  It's no biggy, just make sure you have a decent blade on your hacksaw and to clean the manifold (boot) after your done cutting it.

As a side note, you have to do this the G3 reed cage assembly too.

I suggest you first try using a very sharp tool to cut the boot. I used a hacksaw on mine and it was not a nice looking end result - even though I was careful. Use a scalpel or a razorblade, thin and sharp. If you bend the boot at the same time as you cut, you are able to cut deeper without the tool getting stuck.

I used a brand new hacksaw blade and it cut fast and came out almost perfect. Trimmed it with a razor and bolted it up...

For jetting, I went one step leaner on the main, but I was rich already. Went from a 170 to a 168. I did a new top end at the same time, so I couldnt tell the differecne with the V-Force....whole motor was so fresh, plus jetted cleaner - it felt great. I know the Moose spacer I put on a few months ago was a great $20 improvement...

I bought Nasty Nicks VForce Delta 2 cage it was new in the box I think he sprung for a Generation 3 model.  He seems to have kept the bolts and the spacer from the trim down.  Does anyone know how thick the washer spacer was so I can cut?  I will call them monday if no one knows.

Not quite sure what part you're cutting, but for cutting rubber if you grind the sides off a new hacksaw blade (the parts of the teeth that stick out a bit on each side and gives the width of the saw cut) it cuts rubber very nicely. Hope it helps. Cam.

Is there a top or bottom to the V-Force 2?  I see the logo on a tab, but it looks like it might just hit the cylinder casting line at the top of the mounting flange when torqued down.  I think I'll try it at the bottom.  The instructions don't say there's a top or bottom, and it's too late to call tech support.

Thanks Timbowe.

Put it on logo facing downward anyways (downunder?).

Hopefully, it's all good tomorrow.

Folke,
you tried that on your mean green,don?t you remember :?
I think it?s no different in power between vf2 and vf3, but you can change reeds without any tools on vf3. :wink:
