When it comes to engine management in motorcycle racing, the name Bazzaz is synonymous with Performance.

Bazzaz Performance was started in 2003 out of a clear need for expertise in the area of engine management and electronics for the top tier of professional motorcycle racing.  After working as a race engineer at Yoshimura R&D for six years and helping Mat Mladin bring home his first 3 AMA Superbike championships, Ammar Bazzaz decided to start Bazzaz Performance in an effort to fill this need in the racing market, ultimately with the goal of bringing this same technology and knowledge to the average racer and motorcycle enthusiast.  Entering the high profile AMA Superbike scene in 1997, at the same time as Electronic Fuel Injection, Bazzaz has been instrumental in its implementation, tuning, and application for the better part of 10 years.

From humble beginnings in the garage of his home, Ammar Bazzaz quickly expanded the company’s exclusive engineering and design capabilities into the design and manufacturing of engine management electronics for the motorcycle racing industry.  Completing its second expansion in the last three years, Bazzaz Performance now operates out of an 8,500 sq. ft facility in Chino, CA housing both R&D as well as manufacturing operations.  Bazzaz Performance has been designing and tuning high performance engine management products for the top tier of motorcycle racing since its inception.

Joining forces with Tucker Rocky Distributing, Bazzaz Performance has now committed to bring this high tech world of exclusive electronics down to the performance rider level.  The new Z-Fi line of products from Bazzaz Performance offers innovative, state of the art engine management technology that is easy to use with an affordable price.  Bazzaz Performance is upping the ante on what a rider should expect out of his/her aftermarket engine management electronics. Never before has technology at this level been offered to the general public.

In addition to designing and bringing race proven technology to the mainstream market, Bazzaz Performance is a proud sponsor of Michael Jordan Motorsports, and continues to work with professional racing teams such as such as, American Honda, Don Schmacher Racing, and Safety First Racing.

Z-Fi Fuel Control Unit

The Bazzaz Performance Z-Fi Fuel Control Unit differs significantly from what is currently available in the marketplace in a number of ways. Bazzaz Performance has developed an in-line unit that precisely controls fuel delivery to optimize engine performance. It is a plug and play unit that piggy-backs onto the stock ECU.  Each unit comes with an application specific harness that utilizes OEM connectors for simple installation, and comes pre-programmed for either the stock exhaust or a slip-on. The Z-Fi also features a USB interface with easy to use software, allowing tuning modifications by the end user.  The Z-Fi is the first piggyback system on the market that can run up to 8 injectors independently. This translates into ease of tuning and significantly better performance on applications that utilize 8 injectors like the Suzuki GSXR1000 and the Honda CBR600RR. The Z-Fi can be run and/or tuned using the closed-loop self mapping feature with the purchase of the optional Z-AFM kit.

•     Supplied with application specific harness for easy Plug and Play installation

•     Pre-programmed with 2 maps, one for stock and one for a slip-on exhaust

•     Comes with easy to use software and USB cable making tuning a snap

•     Self mapping capability with purchase of optional Z-AFM Kit

•     Runs up to 8 injectors independently

•     Features gear dependent fuel trims

•   Stores two maps, Switchable “On the Fly”

MSRP dependent upon model: $299.00 to $399.00

Z-Fi QS with Quick Shift

The Z-Fi QS (Quick Shift) integrates the all the same features of the Z-Fi controller with an updated version of the popular Bazzaz Performance QS-4 Quick Shift all in one unit.  Customer feedback on the QS-4 led Bazzaz Performance to develop a new shift sensor for improved reliability, which now also includes an application specific adapter rod for ease of installation. The Z-Fi QS unit employs race proven “QCK” technology for seamless clutch-less up shifting. It has user adjustable gear dependant kill times allowing for optimal shifting in all gears. The kit comes complete with control unit, harnessing, shift switch, and adapter rod.

•     All the same features of the Z-Fi

•     Allows for full power clutchless up-shifting for faster lap times

•     Rugged shift sensor with application specific adapter rods for

      easy installation

•   Gear dependant kill times for optimal shifting in all gears

MSRP: $849.95

ZFi TC – with Traction Control

The Z-Fi TC (Traction Control Unit) has all of the same features as the Z-Fi QS with the addition of user adjustable traction control.  The Z-Fi TC brings traction control technology from the highest levels of professional racing down to the average racer.  The Z-Fi TC does not require any additional sensors to be mounted to the bike, and is fully legal for AMA Super Sport and Super Stock competition.  Countless hours of racetrack testing and tuning were used to distill the complicated nature of this technology into a simple and intuitive tuning interface using the Z-Fi software.  Traction control is easily adjusted by Throttle Position, RPM, and Gear to suit any track or riding condition.  Adjustments on the fly can be made with an optional TC adjust switch, making tuning even more simple.

•     All the same features of the Z-Fi QS

•     State of the art Traction Control technology for faster lap times

•     Adjustable by Throttle Position, RPM, and Gear for optimal performance under all riding conditions

•     Intuitive software interface for easy tuning

•     Uses stock sensors only, AMA Super Sport and Super Stock legal

MSRP: $999.99

Z-AFM – Air Fuel Mapping Kit

The optional Z-AFM kit consists of an air fuel sensor and amplifier box that plugs into the any of the Z-Fi products, and allows for closed-loop tuning of the motorcycle.  Closed loop tuning means that as the user rides the bike, on the track or on a dynamometer, the Z-Fi automatically makes adjustments to the fuel delivery in order to optimize performance.  The user has the ability to set a target air fuel ratio, and view the recommended adjustments using the Z-Fi software.  The user can choose whether to have the adjustments applied on the fly, as the bike is being ridden, or after the fact once the recommended adjustments have been reviewed.  The Z-AFM kit offers optimal performance without the time or cost of a custom dyno tune.  The kit comes with all of the required hardware, but may require modification of the exhaust pipe to accept the air fuel sensor fitting.  Many manufacturers, like Yoshimura, make versions of their existing pipes with the sensor fitting already built in.

•     Plug and Play installation with any of the Z-Fi products (may require pipe modification to accept sensor)

•     Allows for closed-loop self tuning

•     Allows for optimal mapping without the time or cost of a custom dyno tune

•   User adjustable target air fuel ratio for performance and fuel economy
