Any timing defined yet? I trial fit an OEM 2015 ZX10R header with an Akra mid and can on mine today. It fit quite well, but a couple minor things to sort. It would be nice to do some comparisons.
I spoke to the Managing Director and he said it's very close to production. They are ironing out some final clearance issues but it's pretty much ready. It will definitely be worth the wait.
I'll post pics of the prototype headers (blued) later.
DD, are you also interested in a flash from vcyclenut? If we get enough people I know we can get him to do it. His flash costs $250 and he gets rid out the on-off throttle hesitation crap.
@Turbo329, most people seem to be bitching about the monster muffler you show on here. I agree, this this is just too much. Will this be the only option?
I just saw a post from another forum where they showed what was supposedly an H2 SX header in a box with packing material. Looks like they are getting quite close.
I spoke with Vandemon today and they've done a lot of testing.
A shorty option makes the exhaust very loud and it actually will allow heat from the system to hit the bags.
The longer muffler is a semi high mount and it keeps the noise down. They've also designed it in a way to speed up the exit of the exhaust gases so it shoots past the bags and doesn't linger once it leaves the muffler outlet.
They are open to the idea of offering a shorter version for the performance minded in the future but for the initial launch, the longer high mount muffler will be developed first and released.
Agreed. Making a muffler is easy. The hard part is header diameter, maximizing hp and torque and eliminating clearance issues with the engine, radiator, and surrounding bodywork.
Vandemon took an entire year before releasing their H2 exhaust. As we all know it was definitely worth the wait. I think this kit will also be world class. I can't wait to get the first US batch in stock.
Headers are ready and the muffler options are in the final stages. Vandemon will be offering a carbon tipped muffler option in addition to the full Ti.
Ignore anything you hear about pricing until I release the official info.
I expect for the muffler molds to be finalized next week.
I will be discounting these kits in the initial batch for forum members and referrals. VANDEMON will also be discounting the kits for international customers for the first wave.
I don't have official pricing however I expect for this kit's retail to be sub $2,000 USD..... ...an absolute bargain!
I have seen the complete system and it is gorgeous. It is currently undergoing vigorous heat testing to ensure that the H2 SX SE bodywork remains undamaged.
I love my H2 Vandemon. It fits the character of the bike perfectly.
I've am prohibited from leaking the image(s) of the H2 SX/SE full system until the heat testing has been finalized. All I can say is that it is gorgeous.
Make sure they heat test it for AZ. The rubber logos from my Sedicci riding boots had the glue melt last weekend and both fell off. It was a bit warm down there.
Adjusting your own chain theoretically voids your warranty, as they say it is a dealer only service. Where you would get in possible trouble is if you flash the ECU. Some are ok with it, others will blame the tune if something happens to the engine.
I had a ticking noise on startup with my H2 SX. I contacted the service department at a local dealership. They called Kawasaki, and the Kawasaki rep was giving him grief that I did my own 600 mile service. They questioned everything from the brand of filter and brand of oil. I used a Kawasaki filter and Motul conventional oil. They were then questioning if Motul oil was good enough for them. I walked away quite pissed off, and went through the bike myself. It ended up being a loose header bolt from the factory creating an exhaust leak. You just don't know what you will get from the dealer and KHI.
