I would question where she teaches motorcycle safety, and then speak with her boss to make sure she quits spewing garbage. Currently the MSF still teaches both brakes all the time, but MSF is aimed at brand new riders. Advanced riding schools will teach both brakes while vertical, and racing schools will concentrate more on trail braking to the apex of turns. When the bike is leaned over and the front forks are loaded from using front brake, caution must be used with the rear brake because so much weight has been transferred to the front tire. A lot of racers are weary of rear brake use because of this, or even mill the rear disc to lessen it's braking efficiency preventing it from locking up and low siding. In general street braking maneuvers, both brakes smoothly, with progressive pressure is still the best way to keep safe.

With the LeoVince Factory-R, K&N filter, and a nicely tuned PCV, I now have 19 more ponies to play with. Went from 138 hp to 157 hp. I originally thought I had no reason to clip the wire, but while on the track 156 sure came a lot sooner than it used to, and that was at roughly 4800' altitude. I bet she's gonna be a handful at sea level. <Evil Grin>

Started a new thread with my charts... http://www.vfrdiscussion.com/forum/index.php/topic/68318-dynojet-powercommander-v-test-results/

See posts 106, 108, 110 What MIL codes are flashing? After all was said and done I took the bike out for a spin, rode it hard, but only up to 4th gear and couldn't get the light to come on. Is there any way to get the MIL code after the fact? How do I get the code when the light does come on? As far as we noticed, it would just come on once when we had been doing full throttle runs for while...

We had the engine light go on several times today while on the dyno. Not sure the cause yet.

Correct, I was being overly zealous pulling anything with a hose. You can remove the PAIR and evap can without touching the MAP sensor. I was simply noting the my personal experience matched what my dyno guy said.

From a conversation I had on phobe's blog.

Taking it to the race track this weekend to have her tuned. $250 for a custom map at Salt Lake elevation, with all the forseable mods I'm gonna do finished. Should be interesting. Stay tuned I'll be running zero and stock maps for comparison. Mods: Evap/Pair fully removed. Dan Kyle Block Offs. K&N filter LeoVince Factory-R Exhaust Odometer at roughly 6,700 miles.

I ended up dropping the radiator to get to the O2 plugs. Then pulled them off the bike entirely. The local nuts and bolts shop cut me two 12mm 1.25 bolts to about 1/2" and I slipped them right in. Now I just have to take it to the race track and let my dyno guy do his magic. The only thing is, I'd really like to wait for the Z-Bomb or equivalent to come out so we can map 1st and 2nd gears at the same time.

Looks good!

It's not supposed to be a personal affront by any means. Hats of to Bazzaz for tackling the VFR1200 and fixing the issues, I for one am pumped to hear about it. But the difference between what one company can do to a bike with all the right people working on it, and a COTS (Commercial off the shelf) product are significant. I'm been anxiously watching this thread since you started it, with my credit card in hand. Meanwhile, my PCV arrived this weekend. Whoever gets the Z-Bomb or equivilent solution to the market first will get my money.

most humans have that too So are the results repeatable for the rest of us, or do I need to ship my bike to them to get a z-bomb. ;)

I ride wearing a scorpion daily and my race lid is also a 700 series. I find they provide top of the line safety. My one thing, is that when compared to higher end Suomi, Arai, and Shoei's... Scorpions tend to be on the heavier side of things. I find the extra money simply goes towards saving weight, not necessarily increased protection. With all the gadgetry in this new helmet, I bet it weighs in pretty high as well.

Still waiting for the "claim" to be verified in the public domain... I sure wish Honda would cooperate more with aftermarket vendors...

Super interesting Z-Bomb claim... I'm hoping DynoJet will follow suit with an Ignition Retard Controller Module, and some members actually post dyno runs of the Z-Bomb and other fixes, not just claims from manufacturers...

Sent. Arrived, you're awesome!!!

I use the Cycle Cynch to secure bikes. http://www.cyclecynch.com/CCpages/CCproduct.html I find it provides really nice tie down points without screwing up my grips like the Canyon Dancer does. For my race bike (600rr), and any other bike with a hollow axle, I absolutely love the Strapless Stands. http://www.ststands.com They were out years before Pitbull, and I like them a little better. Unfortunately the VFR doesn't fit, so I have to resort to the straps. On other bikes however, it is absolutely amazing. Puts zero load on the suspension, and I don't have to secure it with anything else. You can also pack a trailer really well because you don't need as much room between bikes for straps.

It was actually a guy on either 1000rr.net or 1000rr.com that figured it out. Sold his home copy to a handful of WERA guys, then Bazzaz bought the rights from him. Since then DynoJet, and a handful of other companies came out with the same product.

Can I buy the extra CBR plate from you? Say half of what you paid plus a stamp?

On a certain back road in UT, that was straight for miles, in the middle of the desert, I've taken the VFR1200 up to 156 mph. It went from 154 to 156 fairly slowly so I assumed that was roughly the top speed... Now you're telling me no... Hmmmmm.... Interesting...

Looking at the pictures near where you guys are making the modification.... Is that a standard molex connector that we could buy to create an inline harness with a switch, rather than cutting up the OEM wires?

I've been in contact with DynoJet as well, offered them my bike for R&D if needed... I was told that the sub-connector for the VFR1200's throttle bodies is new and apparently proprietary to Honda. Until they figure out how they're gonna deal with it, things aren't progressing very quickly. I would guess that Honda made some "new" bits for their Throttle-By-Wire system.

mayner - Last week my dealer said most of that stuff isn't available in the US yet... Did you get your hard bags and liners through American Honda or did you order from the UK?
