A good idea or not? if i was to mount a hypercharger on my 2007 vt750 aero what kinds of things would i have to be carefull of or what would need to be adjusted? What type of hypercharger is best for my bike? and do they really make all that much of a difference?

Hey Rigs goin big mate. Not up on this to much the mechanical minded have probably gone to bed if they have any brains. ;D Sorry guys, but yeah the hypercharger from what i;ve seen does do a bit to performance. However it's not as straight forward as that,you would have to get the jets redone i think to make up for the extra air intake. Simon will be able to fill you in better on this and advise the better system. Kuryakyn i think makes a good system. Check this site out mate .It's american but they have been there and done it , On the left when it opens up is a list to look at. The mod section is a great look; www.shadowaero750.com/ Also mate in our Bling And Blarney section Steve has made a list of good sites to check out so have a captain cook in there. Under new and interesting web sites Cheers Ray

What type of hypercharger is best for my bike? and do they really make all that much of a difference? G'day Rigs. To create better performance you need to create a better fuel/air mixture by increasing fuel & air flow. You also need to increase the outlet flow. The Hypercharger (Standard, Pro or Pro-r) will give you an improvement in performance. The only thing is that it is designed to be more show than go. The problem with hypercharger style or RAM air style air intakes is that that they create an area of positive pressure inside the air intake which limits the amount of air that can go through (think pouring lots of water into a funnel with a small outlet). So whilst they do allow more air in than the stock air intake/stock filter setup, they don't allow that much more air in. Other air intakes like the Thunder Mfg range & Baron's Big Air Kit allow a lot more air in but they don't create the positve pressure. If you increase the air flow too much then you will need to rejet your carbs. If you then decide to swap your exhaust out to an aftermarket exhaust you may need to then rejet again. In the end if your after performance then go for a Thunder Mfg or Baron air intake. If your after a certain look then get what meets your own preference. After all, it's your bike. ;D

Thanks for the info people, i already have after market cobra exhausts on my bike so would that possibly take care of the outlet flow if i did get the hypercharger? Having a browse at the thunder mfg website, lots of goodies on there ;D

The Hypercharger is a poor mans Ram Air System. It's not very efficient but if it was, it wouldn't work for our rides really well. As the air enters through the front, it actually has the ability to pressurize the Carburetor venturi to the point that fuel flow will be cut off. So sometimes you have to come up with a method to compensate for the additional pressure.After a lot of research and contact with some of the Hypercharged honda dealers and owners they found a solution. Pressurize the float bowls to keep the pressure in the bowls slightly more positive than that of the venturi, ensuring a stable supply of fuel at all speeds from idle to full throttle......
i think its a little bit to much effort for something your going to get max 7hp out of.. i would just be looking at a easy fix and just buy a K&N filter ... but each to there own... hope it works out for ya mate..

Rigs my man how about a pic of the cobras. Saw our new member Steve (leyburn) in esk one day and he had a set ,not sure which ones and by golly didn;t sound half bad when he shimmed off. Be good to the bike as well mate. If you haven't rejetted with the pipes would be a good time if you went with the air filter mod. Cheers Ray

Hi Rigs Have attached a photo of my bike with hypercharger fitted, I have also fitted V&H pipes and had the carby rejetted. Had problems setting it up but now it is all running sweet.'The advantages i have are:- better fuel economy (from 245kl to 295kl per tank) better pickup and sound awesome. Have not seen a big increase in top speed though, I have had it up to 155 kph which is roughly about the same as i was getting when it was standard. doing 150 kph is the only time that i have had problems with is being hesitant, it felt like it wanted to do more so i think this is where i started to get pressure building up in the venturi. If this is the only time it is going to happen then i am not worried to much about it at the momment. Phil

About time we saw some picks from WA my man. Nice ride, like the chrome pieces. Mustang seats? good comments on the mods to the engine always helps to get info from those that have done it. 155, how the hell did you hang on, 140 and I'm wrenching at the wrist joints Dawg

She's a gleamin there Phil. Looking sweet my man and don;t know why you want to do that 150kph thing. Though your shield would be much better at that speed than ours i suspect. Is it a hondaline or different mate. Am thinking of upgrading to a better one next year maybe. . I usually get 250 -270 ks out of mine std, thats when the light comes on so time to top up. The best has been 300ks but that was only once,a trip to Bribie Is were i met some fantastic people if my memory serves me correct. That was 2 up as well so was very happy. Cheers Ray

Kingy, i think ray has an ACE, they do have a fuel light. I dont have anything either mate, I only know when im low when it starts caughing spluttering and have to put it on reserve. Dawg The screen helps alot, had no problems hanging on. You know when you get something new fitted you have to see what it will do flat out, I usually sit on about 110-120 on the open road. Ray Its a national cycle screen not a hondaline.

Ta Mate,
My screen is a national cycle shorty, looking at a bigger one but there are so many around. Pam has the same one and it suits her fine but Ive raised mine a bit to stop the head buffering, and I get buffering under the screen now. would like the big on that Tinkerbell had fitted to her bike just have to save the pennies and go in with cash to see how much I can get off the price with fitting
Still a bit fast for me 110 indicated comfortable too much buffering after that

i know we are off the topic of air intakes but i dislike screens... i love the feeling of the air hitting my open face at 110... feels awesome....
