Hello from newb

Post by Vote for pedro »

Hi everyone, I’ve just stumbled across this forum while looking for ways to tune my bike etc .
I’m based in southampton Hampshire .
I’ve had my bike (2007 r1) from new but not had the chance to ride it much the last 8 yrs as had a family /work commitments etc👎🏼
Looking to get back into it with a few track days etc and ride outs.(All the mates I used to ride with have stopped).
so hello again

Hello Pete. Welcome in.
I'm up the road in Winchester. Sun's coming out so if you're not too quick, see you for a burger at Loomies and let's plan a van and get on with it!!! :dance:

Right I’ve just done the plugs today on my bike(had a misfire) and been in contact with mike at velox racing to unlock/ flashtune my ecu (nice)... will be trying to find a decat and get it over to a rolling toad to dyno/ set it up properly.
Mike recommended crescent as they can access the ecu.
