Ok, a while back I posted a little sumthin about squeezing the fuel pressure regulator on my '05 Daytona and jumped to some wrong conclusions and made some bad statements, and for that I am truly sorry. After further investigation and squeezing the brains on some mechanic freinds of mine, I have come up with this.......by squeezing the fuel pressure regulator you increase the pressure in the line to the fuel rail (duh) which results in a constant high fuel pressure condition in the line. To clarify a little, on a stock fuel line the pressure drops dramatically when the throttle is twisted thus causing a loss of fuel input (pressure) at the injector causing the low end bog on the bike. At my altitude ,being 4500+ feet, this condition was aggravated causing a slight bucking and feeling of being under powered at low rpm, off idle to about 2500/3000 rpm. I believe it is very improbable that a lean condition exist in the fuel map set-up in the bike since there is an o2 sensor in the exhaust. The same would be true of creating a more rich condition by the "squeeze mod" for the same reasons. I noticed the bucking came back after I installed my TOR pipe and went away after the TOR downlod was applied. The result of this mod is better throttle response at very low rpm's, the feeling of a strong and smooth pull from a first gear idle to high rpms. I cannot truly say if it effects the throttle response all the way through the rpm range but it sure does help down low. I went from having to really try hard to get the front end off the ground to being much easier and able to "bounce" the front end and get air. I still haven't taken it to California yet but I'm sure it'll be a handfull. :-D
