I have been asked this question a few times now & will make a post for it, what is the Kev Fuel mod, how does it work & why did you make it.

Basically the XT660 has a fuel injection set up to run very lean for emission control & this causes a slow running condition on our bikes & makes it uncomfortable to ride at low speeds.

What members have been doing is to richen up the fuel mixture by fit fuelling devices. There are quite a few now on the market, but in the early days 2004 there was none for sale for our bikes, so I made up a very basic one to fit my bike & never intended to sell it, it only fits 04 to 10 models. I was then asked by the forum owner to make them avaliable to members who also had the same fueling problem. So I sent 4 Mods over seas for inderpendant testing in 3 countries & the results came back all postive. The mod has had 4 upgrades over the past 2 years to it's present state. The mods are sold with a 30 day money back guarantee, if don't like it send it back & I will give you back your money. I have sold over 400 fuel mods so far with 99% positive feed back.

How it works is there are a few input sensors to the fuel injection system which tell the engine management the environment conditions, like how cold is the motor, what's the air pressure, what is the air temperature, where is the throttle angle.

What I did is to make up a device that connected to the air temperature sender which sends a false signal to the engine computer. I can adjust any degree I want to make the Engine ECU in to thinking that the air temp is colder then it really is & in doing this the bike thinks its cold so richens up the fuel mixture across the whole fuel map range. There is a CO1 setting in our dash which should be set 10 to 15 above the standard setting so make sure you have done this, what I found on the Dyno that is the CO1 does not adjust the fuel mixture once the throttle has opened it then runs on a map & is cancelled. So adjusting the CO1 will only adjust the fuel mixture at part throttle & not across the whole fuel map range.

As I say this is a very basic device & it uses the Yamaha fuel map, other devices like Power Commander can modify the Yamaha fuel map every 250RPM & is far better device but cost over 10 times more. One thing to remember not even the Power Commander can completely remove the surging but these fuel device do make a improvement to the slow riding conditions.

I keep making these mods to help riders that want an improvement from standard but can not afford a Power Commander & I try to keep the costs down to more of a service then a profit.

My mod is tried & tested on the Dyno with before & after results.

Hi Kev, I have read a lot of what was written on the subject but it is still not 100% if it could help me with my very specific need. I'm fine...I mean I tolerate the bikes performance for most of its range but I'm not happy when over 120 and need to overtake. Cars are just fine if they are not speeding but it aggravates when I need to overtake buses or lorries specially going uphill. To make this even more tricky I like to favor consumption. So the question is:

Can I with your mod, while ridding gain a little boost for overtaking and then switch it off afterwards?

Cheers!

I believe this kind of set up can give a little temporary boost if required http://www.nitrous.info/

Sorry. I couldn't resist.

Hi there you can buy it at this link: http://www.xt660.com/site/node/136

scroll to the bottom of the page and click on the PayPal icon, once you are in the paypal website, there is a box when you can live a note and in that box please give Kev the exact model and year of manufacture and he will ship the correct mod to you.

All Kev Mods come are now very plug and play, with no soldering required, you get a step by step guide on how to fit them and how to tune the fuelling knob.

Hi Kev

I've got the 2011 XT660Z Tenere. I just spent 4 hours reading about mods, filters, O2 and HPs. So, I'm thinking of getting the following:

- Kev's Mod (Fuel mod and O2-controller)
- DNA Stage 1 and 2

Is this the right stuff for my 2011 Tenere?

I've got the standard exhausts. Will a single can do any diference in HP? Or does the DNA filter stand for the larger HP-increase?
