Wouldn't this make it easier to set up map-by-gear on a PCV? Since there is already a speed sensor rigged up?

Isn't the 2006+ ECU also map-by-gear? Or did you already do this with your PCV by rigging up a speed sensor?

Thanks guys, this is great! P.S. Either you need to set your bike clock, Kaldek, or you make VFR videos WAY too early in the morning! :)

So let's see: $4 O-ring $ O-Ring $8 in gas. You're $16 in for a throttle lock that doesn't work, and at best will require a lot to roll on and off. NEP or Vista Cruise cost $20. Just saying.

Definitely. As will the fact that you aren't drag racing it, no power wheelies, etc. A 520 won't make your bike explode into a fiery fire ball of fire as soon as you turn the key over. It just won't last as long. Isn't the stock gearing on 5th gens 17/43? Nothing wrong with lowering a few RPM's at cruise, either.

If all you want is remote preload, I'm sure you can find a used shock off of an ABS bike for cheap. Having an 800A I can say that remote preload is super nice for riding two up.

I've detailed cars for a looong time and I'm rather amazed that people haven't discovered what I have found a number of years before this little kit came out.... You can do this by hand, or with a automotive buffer. Anyone know what this stuff on your headlight is? It's basically oxidation. What do you do when a car has oxidized paint? BUFF it. That's all this kit does is provide a very expensive means to the same end. You can accomplish the very same thing here by hand with a cleaner type wax, a terry cloth and some elbow grease and save the money for something else. I just did my buddies GS430's lights when he said he wanted this kit...It took me ~2 mins with my buffer, then looked at him and jokingly said "that'll be $20" Just an fyi, give it a go Buffing works well when there is only a thin layer of haze. For dull headlights you really need to start by removing the outer layer of gunk. It is just fa easier to do this with successive grades of sandpaper finalized by a polishing or rubbing compound.

This is the most common way to upgrade forks, but because it's so easy to change a shock I don't know of anyone who has done this. Not sure I would trust a MTB shock builder to do a motorcycle shock. Air shocks are different.

Help! When I try this, all I get is a picture of a screenshot of the top of the VFRD page. What am I possibly doing wrong that I can't follow the easiest directions ever?

P.S. Anyone recognize the font?

Because buying a tach face fro mThrottlepimp is way, way easier. And way, way cheaper too!! Throttlepimp's made a bunch of stuff for me over the last few years, and every time I've been more than happy with the work and the price. He cut some decals for my rear window in my truck and they still look brand new 3 years later! Not only is all white cooler, but you can also get yours customized however you want it! Sorry about the crappy image quality, I took these with my cell phone for Pacificman.

Throttlepimp made me a white custom tach face for my VFR. It is a very high quality product, the numbers match exactly. Would you like some pictures? He is also quite reasonably priced. I would definitely recommend going through him.

That's actually the electronic flasher he's talking about. Same thing.

Well, because a Power Commander only alters fueling, they really don't generate much more power. But if you could increase the timing, and ran on higher octane fuel, there are some theoretical ponies to be gained.

Holding down the left button should change. I'm pretty sure it does on mine. Maybe hold down the right button? (I know holding both sets the clock)

You gained over 6 HP and almost 4 lb/ft from a custom mapping?! Holy Crap!

Welcome to VFRD! :cheerleader: Just Google search and it will most likely come up with VFRD mod jobs! :fing02: BR +1. If you type " www.vfrd.com: " and then what you're searching for, google will limit the top results to those on VFRD
