Fired her up today, running the engine till hot, the phone rang and its the tracking people asking if its all OK, I check the app and it says the ignitions off! Then I notice the indicators aren't working. So tomorrow's job is getting to the fuse box and checking all the connectors, I suspect I've washed something to death.
Arse bikkies,that's not what you need from a new bike. Hope it's something simple.

Well if its not a fuse or furred connector it can go back to the grown ups under warranty (once the salts washed off the road)

Indicator/Turn signal fuse. Fuse replaced, hazard lights switch lubed as that was a bit sticky and all TOK. Fault to be monitored.

It is, still has to dump the excess boost. This is basically a billet and vent to air rather than recirculate version of the stock one.

Makes sense, not sure why I thought the SC was different to a tubby, they both do the same thing, just different methods.

They're totally gay on cars, I hope you're man enough to pull it off.

The BOV might get rid of the cool chirrup sound though. That sound is the compressor stalling, meaning its trying to boost but the 'downstream' side pressure is too high and it can't boost any more.

We shall have to see what tunes the engine plays with the valve fitted!

You're not wrong, the way it hurls you towards the horizon with a roar is addictively terrifying.
