Shite quality tail tidy. Not much I can do about it really. We’ll I could replace them I suppose? CBA! I want to give the bike a clean but never used an Abba stand before and I’ll probably drop it. I’ll do it next spring…

You come and stand behind me TP. I'll sort out these FWB, trophy-polishing types. Picking on a wounded, commute-in-all weathers biker and his anti-rain device. The wotters. I'll call in the dispatch riders elite pummelling squad.

Judging by the horrid thing in the photo,I'd be a bit twitchy about having Terrapin stand behind me. At this moment in time no one is admitting to having the hat,but I have my suspicions. :silent:

His vanity mirror holder is a lot simpler and cheaper solution to keeping the rain off than the common solution in here...

Yeah, bloody garage Queens! :D

Anyway, its a lot better than the OEM setup!! :wtf:

The way I see it, is if it works, it can stay on for winter and it only takes undoing the two reg plate screws to remove it! You could fit/remove it based on the weather forecast!

Reply from Seton tuning. I can’t ride at the moment but I guess I could drive up there and drop the ecu off and collect it later the same day?



Hi Taipan

Sorry for the delay I have been away.

Yes, the postal flash will improve the fuelling though the only way to get a perfect set up is to have a custom map built. This is our recommended method though the postal flash will definitely improve the set up dramatically.

Kind regards

Plenty to see/do around these parts, so worse places to lose a few hours.

As per my previous replies, i think custom would be better.... but we're talking minimal amounts.

I'd go postal flash from wherever and be happy.

Not sure I'd even notice the difference and its not like I track day the thing. I'm only really looking to smooth out the bottom end and get the fan to come on earlier. I might get it done. Trouble is its out the front of the house and I can't really get it round the back garden to strip it down to get the ecu out, where ever it is? My leg should be better/stronger in a couple of weeks time though...

I started it up yesterday and ran it until it got up to temperature. I noticed a couple of things. Firstly, I was wrong, the 300mm exhaust is quieter. Secondly, when holding it at a constant 2k revs, it runs really unevenly? Dunno if that's the fuelling or if the throttle bodies need balancing? Thirdly, I really miss riding the thing! :D

I thought that was your bike at first!

92bhp to 114 :shock: That's huge

Although the difference he says in the clocks to actual MPH is massive, that's an overread of 29 mph surely that can't be right? Comparing my clocks to the TomTom my speedo seems to overread by about 5-7 mph consistently in the 80-110 mph range. Being 30 mph out would be noticeable surely?

Me neither nowaday, Max speed Monday was 101 when I got pissed off with the outside lane hogger and blitzed passed as quickly as possible. In the old days there would have probably been a 5 in front of the 1 and I'd have done it several times. Is well olds
