Re: Hmmm Essex Newbie
Mail order will be fine for the moment not hard core racer just heard that the flash can smooth a lot of the stuff out and also would hazard a guess it’s not been done before just had bits bolted to it so better fuel tables etc for different exhaust and de cat mate

Re: Hmmm Essex Newbie
The flash will make a big difference to the grabby clutch and hunting at low speeds for starters and then there's many other benefits .beaker_666 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 26, 2019 9:55 pm Mail order will be fine for the moment not hard core racer just heard that the flash can smooth a lot of the stuff out and also would hazard a guess it’s not been done before just had bits bolted to it so better fuel tables etc for different exhaust and de cat mate
There's loads of info on remapping/flashing in the Velox racing section of the forum and Mike offers a mail order service from sending your ecu to him to flash or he can sell you a kit to flash it yourself and his after sales is ment to head good as his pre sales service

Re: Hmmm Essex Newbie
So the flash. I’m on a 4c8 last of the real r1s before they went all smoke and mirrors. The flash takes a switch like throttle and replaces it with a supper smooth carb like action. Removes all the lag removed my restrictions made on/off/on throttle movements really easy. Worth every penny in my view. Incidentally if you do go with the harness it’s really easy to install on the bike. I did it and I play with hammers and a hand saw normally.

Yep did clutch mod. Best 80 quid spent. Took me a couple hrs, so a normal man probably an hour. Transforms the on off, bag of nails shitty clutch action a treat. What was the question?
