Hmmm Essex Newbie

Do you want it put on a rolling road for the flash or would you be happy with a mail order flash ?

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

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 .
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 👍

Hasn’t Horus-222_r1 done a clutch lever upgrade To sort the grabbing clutch on this model? Hang on I’ll give him a shout he’s probably in the salon.

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.

I haven't got a clue mate , you'd be better off talking to r1Mike about this as i'm only a moderator and don't have access to logs and stuff and i only have basic admin .
If i post at the same time up just after someone else i get a notification of the other post and i have to resubmit my post . are you using Tapatwat ?

Shut up shop early today sweet cheeks. Half a mile from Brands drinking a night cap whisky with Pedro. Ready for some fun tomorrow 👍🏽

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? 😄
