Installed a booster plug to my z 650, goodbye to the snatchy throttle and low gear stalling and hello to beautifully running bike….

never heard of this until now. I looked it up. Sounds very interesting. Damn bikes run so lean nowadays. Tell me more
Cost? Install difficulty?

Installed one on my 2022 Z650RS. Love the way it runs. Absolutely no down side.

Instal is fairly simple but time consuming…. seats off, side panels, ignition cover etc. I removed the petrol tank as I wanted the sensor routed to directly in front of the air intake. Simply a case of plug and play, instructions come with the booster plug. Cost for me was $169.95. Totally transformed my bike runs vdry smooth now.

It was pretty easy on my RS. Seat off and I just propped the tank up a cpiple of inches and I was able to access the factory connector. Easy-peasy.

Morning Brian I am looking at installing the booster plug on my 2022 z650 rs. Have you had any problems since you installed one on yours.Also can you remember which booster plug you ordered I was looking at the one for a 2020 z650 as there is not one available for the 2022 RS.

Really? It's insane how snatchy it is. Just for that I'm considering it. No stalling issues. But lifting gas tank is something I've avoided doing. Maybe this winter, I'll do the air filter while at it.

Just added the plug to my Z. The hard part is getting the tank off. The easy part is connecting the plug. Won't really know if it makes a difference until next season.

I also fitted one recently. So much better than stock. Doesn't totally remove the snatchiness but probably improves it by 70-80% (at least that's in my climate)

I got the chance to take it out once with the booster plug installed before I put it away for the winter.
Felt smoother.
It was around 10 Celsius outside, so I'm not sure if that makes any difference.
I'll confirm next season.

I fitted one ( well have to credit my husband for this) to my previous bike Duke 390 but that was a single. Made a lot of difference for low speed control, town riding etc. Not planning on fitting to my Z though, it feels way more civilised than the Duke but we’ll see 😆

Where did you put the sensor? I followed a YouTube video for guidance for my Duke but chose to put the sensor up by the yoke rather than under rear panel as gave much better clean air.

I ran the sensor in front, like where everything meets at the triple tree (just under it). Zip tied it there. I just looked up yoke, and yea, exactly there
