So why even use a map? Why not let the autotune hit the correct AFR without a baseline map at all, if it just varies from it anyway?

So what does autotune do?

Exactly! That and the twitchiness is part of what make me so nervous. Which makes me realize my riding is off and I'm more likely to crash, which makes me more twitchy, nervous, and target-fixating. Kind of a vicious cycle.

As many of you know, I recently totalled my beloved 2003 VFR, and replaced her with a clean 2002 ABS model. Now that I'm riding again, I'm a little jumpy, I almost feel nervous back in the saddle. Part of it could be the worn and cupping D208's making the bike feel twitchy in corners, but it's probably mostly me. I've only done about 350 miles on the new bike, but I had thought that would be enough to get back into the swing of things. Anyone ever experience anything similar or have any advice?

You were doing this because the 6th gen swingarm is slightly longer and stiffer? Is it worth the effort? I'm trying to reword that, but I know no matter how I put it, someone on here will be perverted...

Where do I get some of those?

If you want your engine to run cooler, I have a thermostat I can sell you--special price, only $250!!!!

I saw and SV650 painted Camo the other day. Great idea, decrease visibilty! LOL

Great Idea! I have my license plate mounted the same way. I've been thinking of putting a LED lighted reflector behind the VFR cut, but that might be a better idea. Where do you get translucent paint? Do you think this would light the VFR cut out evenly? I already have some Lexan that I used as the new bracket for my hardbags (I'll attach a pic later), and I'm excited about getting the cut out lit up. Any thoughts are appreciated. To answer some questions: My license plate DID bottom out the first time I rode it, bent the crap out of it, so I simply bent it back a little farther than normal the other way and it now works fine. The license plate light still does light up the plate. --Ryan

I'd have sold you my stalk w/ good glass for the cost of shipping.

I like the ones in the radiator vents the best. You ride with them on for visibility?

How delicate is the soldering? Also, I can't seem to get my meter panel off... I'm pulling pretty hard, but don't wan to break it. How do the grommets work?
