Our comprehensive review of the 2021 Kawasaki Z H2 with our BT Moto ECU Flash. We include before and after comparisons, dyno, as well as Dragy 60-130 data, a standard performance benchmark.
We also go over common customer complaints about the bike and how our flash rectifies each, in real time.
Special thanks to Lee's Cycle in San Diego for letting us use their dyno.

You can actually get even faster with the BT Moto Stage 2 tune. Just got to get more comfortable with it since it keeps lifting the whell. Traction level 1 seems to perform the same as 0 from my experience. I have a 4.44sec 60-130 as my current best. Below are the stats. I wonder if my lower altitude helped :). But, keeping the throttle open is the hardest part. 90F 96ft altitude 653.34ft distance 4.44sec 60-130 0.85% slope 60-70 0..46sec 60-80 0.95sec 60-90 1.49sec 60-100 2sec 60-110 2.69sec 60-120 3.43sec 60-130 4.44sec

I will say though below about 60 all that power is useless. You can tell the difference in power versus being in boost and out of boost. I play with my buddy on his ZX-14. And it's honestly very even until about 80 to 100 mph. ZX2 start hauling ass though with the front wheels in the air around that point. The control of the ZX-14 though makes it very even up to that point. After 100 I start pulling fast. Played with an R1 a few days ago and it looked like he was standing still.

I had mine tuned by 2 Wheel Dyno works a year or so back, and I've been really happy with that - they claimed 220 wheel. I'm not sure I can handle the 240, but I haven't been entirely happy with the drivability from theirs. I think you touched on it in the video, but can the stage 2 be set up to change with modes? For example, can I have you tune the Stage 1 220hp to a certain rider/mode, and then the Stage 2 to another?

Just to clarify your Dragy slips: (INVALID aside), you went from stock 5.44s down to 4.88s with 60 extra horsepower (Stage 2) and only achieved a difference of .56s? Your 60-100 time on the BT Moto flashed slip is actually slower than stock. Am I seeing this correctly? Has anyone got the seat time on this bike to retest the 60-130 at max performance to get the maximum potential?

@sural89 6 ай бұрын

as he said he can't fully open the throttle in 2 and 3 that why it's close to stock below 110

@johnnyappleseedz422 5 ай бұрын

@@sural89 Still learning; so is this a traction issue? Meaning the front is lifting under such acceleration to the point that 60-100 is compromised? Thus, needing a stretch? Or maybe a consideration would be adjusting the gearing? Here at near 5000 feet elevation, a 16T is almost mandatory for acceleration. But at sea level, would think a 17T is better to offset the torque of a 16T. Any thoughts to help me better understand?

Respectfully, people spend $2000+ on an exhaust that loses power over stock. $895 for adding 60whp doesn’t seem like a worse deal than that. Not to mention our customer and technical support is second to none.

As bt moto already said, chris moore uses woolich. He remote tuned my wifes zh2 and the bike is insane, smooth and safe. Being my wifes bike she doesnt need 220+hp so i asked chris to make road and rain mode more friendly, maintaining throttle restrictions and timing stock and make sport mode the beast mode when i take it out for a rip. I been on the drag strip and road course with it. Wife and did a 1000+km trip (she was on hers, i was on my h2 sx) and the bike has been amazing.

@TL1000S97 7 ай бұрын

This is just an example of unfounded rumours. :) The *only* difference are higher static compression, so yes it is correct that is is different pistons, but they are both cast on H2 vs Z H2. And the airbox is more restrictive on the Z H2, but as it is forced induction it does not hamper the Z H2 power output that much. What *is* true is that the tuners must be a bit more careful with "upping" the timing on top due to the much higher static compression. Kawasaki has not only neutered the Z H2 with shutting down the ETV above 10k rpm.. The timing is pulled back a ridiculous amount.. -10 degrees on top. It is like BT says in the video. It is like hitting a wall on full throttle on a stock Z H2 :(
