Aftermarket Assassins '24+ Kawasaki Ridge 1000 135HP Stage 1 Lock & Load Kit

Aftermarket Assassins '24+ Kawasaki Ridge 1000 135HP Stage 1 Lock & Load Kit

Lock and load your Kawasaki Ridge 1000 and get ready for some serious kick! The Ridge 1000 is a great utility machine, but Kawasaki left a ton of room for improvement on the table. This simple kit is the best way to wake up your Ridge 1000 as it comes with our proven ECU tunes which are loaded via the DynoJet Power Vision 3 ECU tuner. The tunes add some amazing horsepower from low end to high end RPM and really give your machine that kick you're looking for. Our AA Stage 1 clutch kit compliments the tuning perfectly by more efficiently transferring power to the wheels and ridding yourself of the very lazy factory clutching setup.

92HP Models: The lower 92 horsepower models are very de-tuned which allows us to easily wake things up as the factory limits throttle and timing. The Ridge 92HP models also use a smaller restrictor/spark arrestor in the exhaust. While our tune still gains with the smaller OEM restrictor, we highly suggest removing the restrictor, purchasing the XR restrictor, or the best option is to purchase our exhaust. See tune descriptions below and dyno graph images for horsepower results.

116HP XR Models: These are still de-tuned from the factory though much less than the 92HP models. We still see excellent gains. See tune descriptions below and dyno graph images for horsepower results.

Slightly increased idle speed to smooth engagement and keep the CVT engaged for more predictable engine braking. We found models with AC and AC turned on constantly kicked the CVT system in/out of freewheel making it hard to control. We tested some different clutching and found it could also be controlled this way, but it was much better to control this via the engine idle calibration.

Features:

• Big horsepower gains for standard 92HP models and 116HP XR models! Taking your ridge to an estimated 135HP crank horsepower.
• Our setup guideline will let you know how to set your weights for stock horsepower, tuned horsepower, 27-35" Tires, paddles & more.
• Fully adjustable magnetic weights are easy to use and adjust
• Adjustable from 85-109 grams
• By design, our clutch weights have more tip weight mass with a more aggressive profile, so they grip the belt harder and accelerate faster... yet still crawl even better than OEM.
• A must-have when changing tires, tuning your machine, or running paddles
• Quicker throttle response and power delivery
• Throttle by wire tables are modified for better response, especially in high range. Low range throttle mapping is a little better, but still left mild for good crawling and towing
• Smoother throttle mapping down low as OEM seemed to be jerky in all modes
• Cooler running belt temps from a more efficient power transfer which results in longer belt and clutch life
• Big acceleration gains and better power transfer to the rear wheels.
• Close to stock engagement which is very smooth
• Our Recoil clutch weights are easily adjustable with simple magnets. They have a custom AA profile, the BEST coating on the market (nitrocarburizing) which has increased wear resistance, improved fatigue strength, and added surface lubricity. These clutch weights also offer great performance, and the ability to tune for many different applications or modification in the future, without the need to buy extra parts. The magnetic weights are the best option to properly place the mass where we need it on the weight for best performance for your application.
• We found the stock secondary clutch to work very well, the S1 kit is just for the primary clutch.
• Make sure you check peak RPM 30-50 MPH, it should be 7600-8000 RPM for peak performance.
• You will need belt removal bolts (M10-1.25 x 50mm) which we have as an optional add-on item
• Highly recommend upgrading to the billet overdrive Revolver Clutch Cover with Tower Lock for increased strength an further clutch shift out.
• Optional seatbelt limiter disabled
• Speed limiter removed
• Rev limit at a safe 9800 RPM (Stock is 9500 RPM)
• Best peak power when tuned is 7600-8000 RPM at wide open throttle in the 30-50 MPH range
• Very easy to use tuner that can also check and erase most trouble codes
• Easily data log 29 parameters with 1 push of a button and review on your Windows PC/laptop later
• No mess of having to send in your ECU, and a safer way of programming your ECU (easily go back to stock tune)
• Full throttle/power in reverse (factory limits reverse throttle)
• AA's wicked timing curve - Switch fuel modes without having to re-flash:
  • Sport and Normal throttle mode: 91-93 Octane
  • Work throttle mode: 87+ octane (91 octane dyno graphs shown)
• A great fuel curve that gives much better low end and all around more power as the factory map is very lean in key areas.
• Accelerator enrichment is optimized for better fueling and vehicle response when stabbing the throttle
• Fan on/off temp lowered to 185/180 degrees Fahrenheit (Stock is 189/183)
  • Winter tunes (runs hotter but safe coolant temps) available for those with cabs/heaters in cold climates. Easy to switch when seasons change!

Kit Includes:

• AA custom tuned PV3 tuner and Stage 1 Clutch Kit.
• AA Recoil magnetic adjustable bushing style clutch weights.
• AA Red Primary Spring w/washer & setup guideline.

Fitment:

• Fits all 2024-Up Kawasaki Ridge 1000 models (92HP & 116HP)
