Damn bro. You've owned the zx10 since 2015.... i remember watching the vidyas when you were in the process of getting it.... that was some hand made quality shit going on back then!
Hey there. Ol' school here. In regards to the PC5 ECU, I had it installed on my 2015 Kawasaki Vulcan 900 Custom and tuned by a reputable, local bike shop. However, I can't give a real diagnostic difference as I also had a Vance n Hinze exhaust and a Kuryakyn air intake at the same time. But, on the dyno with the 3 up-grades, I boosted 44 HP on my ride from 50 HP to 94 Hp. Wow, what a difference from stock! Still slower than a crotch-rocket, but very fun to ride at my age!
I could definitely see you feeling a smoother idle replacing those plugs, but I don't think you can attribute much of, if any, power increase to them. Seems like a pretty good product - glad you're happy with it.
If the spark is weak it won't ignite the fuel as efficiently. You lose gas mileage and a bit of power, not a ton, but enough to be noticeable compared to spent plugs.
Definitely +1 for more ZX-10R content man! Keep it coming! This is my favorite liter bike channel! Definitely an inspiration to how I got my liter bike haha! 👌
My farther loves Kawasaki!. He told me that you can put a other exhaust and install a box and the Kawasaki would gain 50horses. You just did those mods! Verdy nice :D
Watching how dirty the inside of that engine bay was literally gave me a panic attack and I had to be hospitalized lol I will totally fly to San beraghetto from Canada to clean it for you...not joking lol
I have same bike bought brand new in 06 and I have zero mods and I've 34k you sound to HAPPY for me not to gets some.its extremely fast as stock but a wake up is in order. Great post.👍🏼the bike sounds awesome 🔥🔥🔥
Still would love to show you some more nuggets up here in the mountain that your missing. Extra beautiful "view ropes" yet to be seen. Plus the footage you can get at the hanglider launch, and much more. Don't worry, normal good guy married for 26 years.
A lot easier to get the plugs out of the #1 & #4 if you put the socket in first and then connect the swivel extension... Removing the Pair Valve Pump & hoses and installation of Block Off Plates frees up room as well.
@@bakerXderek There was when I was looking at them a few months ago. At least for my '12 Super Tenere. Iridium plugs last a long time. Emissions , aka running lean probably did the plugs in. Dynojet should help that. Just checked Revzilla, out of stock still. Sucks to be me.
Nice work man...... "just looking out" when your twisting the throttle don't jam it, I know it's fun but the bike could counter steer from torque, it's a bad habit I had it.... Bike sounds great way better then a flash!
yo Derek been watching you since 2015! My wife and I are from Moreno Valley but now shes in the Navy and we are up here in shitty Illinois. We miss SoCal and I was wondering if you could do a ride through Oceanside down the 101 to Torrey Pines one of these days? itll be a nice ride all along the beach!
@@bakerXderek it kinda is lol. we use to drive that almost every sunday lol so it kinda became just a normal drive for us but you wont regret it, especially if you really wanna get out of that summer heat.
Your PCV shouldn't change your tune at idle (or below 2000rpm) but the plugs definitely would. And if you ever want an actual CUSTOM tune, ChaChaCha Motorsports in Riverside races Kawis and has a dyno. Terry will set you up.
@bakerxderek just wanna say I refound your channel since I just got my first scooter to learn how to ride! Love the videos, you’ve always made it look so fun. I see why you like exploring the lots in ssssannnn burr narr deen ohhh
makes me think its time to change my dirtbike spark plugs.... been over due well past the 60 recommended hours.. also "power commander" just demands respeck for the name alone lol
@@bakerXderek if you remove the airbox you'll se them in the throttle bodies, secondary throttle plates are the upper plates in the tbs: two phillips screws holds each one in place.
@@pleasedontwatchthese9593 yea they are very easy to install. Most are plug and play with the ignition coils and you just need to wire power and ground. The shift sensors just go online on the shift rod.
I'll be honest, I'm not impressed with the quality of dyno jet. My jet nozzles, the drill holes were mis-aligned by eye, and had burrs. That's not a component you want to mess up. Nothing personal to you, only a comment against dyno jet.

Thanks you man means a lot
This channel gives me nostalgia. Can I get a CHH-
CHEEEEAAAAAAHHHHHHHH BOOOOIIIIIIIII
Cheah - haehC
I swear back n them middle school days
The combination of both those mods prob made the ZX10R feel like a whole new animal!
Thanks for the maintenance content! I enjoy this format.
😳the fact that the bike has been running like a beast for so long says alot 😎🐐
In like the almost decade I've been watching BXD never seen this dude mess up on his 600 or the 1000. This man has like MotoGP level riding skills.
That's because i'm never riding hard lol i'm very tame on the road especially as I got older.
Other than the time he low-sided on the 636.
@@paulyC That was the potholes fault.

... thanks for reminding me just how long I've been watching your videos..... O___o
Worth it. (8 years)

Ya the whole bike just feels overall smoother

He also changed the map which greatly optimized the AFR with the pipe compared to what he had and on top of it new plugs lol
“Everything feels so much smoother down under “ would have been a great segway to a Manscape promo. Thanks for another great video.
Truuuuee
Nothing like riding a smooth running machine. Glad to see the install in detail.
Thanks bro !
Love seeing the zx10 content, was wanting to know what mirrors you’re running? Bike looks killer!
It's just a cheap Ebay one
Definitely +1 for more ZX-10R content man! Keep it coming! This is my favorite liter bike channel! Definitely an inspiration to how I got my liter bike haha! 👌
Thanks bro !
Dude u should make more of these tune up videos. Literally priceless content that keeps on giving for those DIYers.
Started watching my junior year in high school 2013, love ya baker

Your father is a liar lol doesn't work like that
Not gonna gain THAT much lol
Dad is smoking to much grass.
Am back baby time to watch all my boy videos again 😌 I miss this channel this the reason I start riding because of you
Watching how dirty the inside of that engine bay was literally gave me a panic attack and I had to be hospitalized lol I will totally fly to San beraghetto from Canada to clean it for you...not joking lol
Power commander is a must! Awesome choice of upgrade!
Thanks man !
Been watching since 636 days, inspired me to ride, thought you would get a new zx10, You deserve it. It will be a real nice.! Yeah! 😆
I actually like my Gen 2 better than any of the newer ones :)

Chip shortage and this guy gets a Dynojet and a top end Graphics card. bXd is connected confirmed.
There's no shortage of Dynojets though

2015....? I've been watching since before you got the ZX10. Woah
Installed a fuel programmer on my WR250R and it was incredible!
Big difference !

Now I want a ZX-10R
dude love this!!!
:)
This is awesome Derrek
Great vid. Very simple. Thanks
She pulls A 👌🏽 Real nice
“Look at the ol gal lookin good!” Sounding like Shawn Smoak lol
yo Derek been watching you since 2015! My wife and I are from Moreno Valley but now shes in the Navy and we are up here in shitty Illinois. We miss SoCal and I was wondering if you could do a ride through Oceanside down the 101 to Torrey Pines one of these days? itll be a nice ride all along the beach!
Maybe one day that's really far.
@@bakerXderek it kinda is lol. we use to drive that almost every sunday lol so it kinda became just a normal drive for us but you wont regret it, especially if you really wanna get out of that summer heat.
My ZX10R has had Track Electronics sort the Ecu. The bike doesn’t need a power commander. I have full power already
If the airbox had a rubber seal, which it looks like it did, I hope you replaced it. A vacuum leak at the throttle body is no bueno.
Can you run a higher octane fuel tune with a power commander? I'm curious on what the PC let's you change 🤔
Nice pulls good!
Have a power commander v on my r6 and it's so smooth, also put some twin spark plugs.
great video dude!
Thank you bro
I just got my PCV today!
Hell ya bro !
Did you try making your own seal saver and dropping the dust seal and cleaning it out? They are probably old seals but worth a shot as it's free lol
16:24 that's the way i like it 👌🏼😂
Can you notice the difference a lot ?
Some people say it will knack up your engine
For me the whole bike just feels like its smoother and running better. Pulls a lot smoother through the whole range.
Some people probably also use crap fuel
Do you still own your green ninja your the reason I wanted a motorcycle 4-5 years ago
look up seal mate to try on those fork seals could just be a bit of dirt needing cleaned out
I cut my own out of a plastic bottle, worked just fine
Excellent BXD 👍
Do I need a tune after I get the commander? Or can I just throw it on
Harley Davidson spark plug locations for the win lmao
in my finest BXD voice *OOOOOOHHH YEAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH*
Having a tuner is awesome you can fucks with the fuel, air ,idle. Lots of fun. You get your bike literally running your way. CHEAH!!!!!
great video sir
Thank you sir
Wow. That thing puuurrrs now. Precice. Even. Do you have a track day near you ? Have you done any ?
No I never really been interested honestly. I'm just glad she's running like a top
Nice video
Congrats on the upgrades. I’m glad to see you giving the old gal some TLC. 🤙
It was much needed
Your PCV shouldn't change your tune at idle (or below 2000rpm) but the plugs definitely would.

Dangit baker! Now I have to buy one for my CTX1300....
Just returned mine. I just went with a flash.
(Laughs in maintenance)
Welcome to the struggle. 😂
Did you just void your warranty?? 😳
Hi up there!
High
Now you jusy need a tuneable ecu for the miata to get her rippin an you got 2 mountain road beasts
whats the spark plug number?
Sounds just a little different, ie. smoother.
Feels it too

It needs aaaaaaaaa deep cleaning 👌👌
It does
Haven't heard the word 'finagle' since 1972.

Vette owner probably disliked the video lol
How wee doing bxd
Good
Remove the secondary throttle plates, that will unrestrict the throttle bodies.
Where is that exactly ?
@@bakerXderek if you remove the airbox you'll se them in the throttle bodies, secondary throttle plates are the upper plates in the tbs: two phillips screws holds each one in place.
Dude, get yourself a Quickshifter, it will make that old girl accelerate even faster.
are they easy to install?
@@pleasedontwatchthese9593 yea they are very easy to install. Most are plug and play with the ignition coils and you just need to wire power and ground. The shift sensors just go online on the shift rod.
Nice 👍👌 yerr
Fuuuuuck yea 👌👌👌👌
Pulls like a schoolboy
"Am I bakerxdickhead?"
Oh fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.
Thats a massive chicken strip haha
Hell yeah sweet bro. Shit I remember the day you picked up your zx10r it's been a minute. Just picked up a 22 grom 👍
Hell ya man congrats !!!
Look UP "Sealer Cleaners" A thin piece of plastic {from a Drink bottle"} To clean Under the Dust seal I t workers or It Does not ...
(This was filmed in Mexico)
6 years later gets a pcV
Better late than never.
oh yeah mate the plugs are a proper fkin nightmare to get out, and if you break the coils then you gonna be crying as each one cost a fkin bomb

I gotcha, mine have worked perfect. Did you do your own installs ?
id love to meet you man. but id be atleast 3/4 more awkward.
How do I get myself a cheah keychain and a sex juice sticker for my new zx6r
I got all the links in my pinned comment
Google seal cleaners , their just cheep ass plastic things , ya may not have to take your forks apart ,
Plugs suck on any sports bike unfortunately
