    Thanks Arthur, the throttle position slipped my mind.. Will check this shorty. I assume it's simple to reset if out?

    The user guide for the fuel pump gives a value for road use..but says this can be adjusted to riding stile.

    Settings: what do you think?

    90% sensitivity
    15% fuel increase
    20 engine revolutions

    Do you remember the Performance bikes issue a year or so ago which had a standard looking 2007 blade all in black on the cover ?

    He had gutted the lot and raved about the performance increase. Ill try and find the spread now and scan it in . The feature was about how he has used all standard parts and turned his bike into a wolf in sheeps clothing . Very interesting read

    I did my mates rr7, removed the cat (not easy as its steel composites rather than ceramic) then gutted the intake, fitted a pc3 and O2 eliminator, pipercross road filters, akrapovic rr4/5 round slip on can, pair removed, standard dynojet map for akra and it made a massive difference, mine runs full akrapovic evo race, pcv and autotune, k and n filters, open ram air, pair removed, makes 176 on the dyno with custom map. It's all the little things that adds up!

    Standard headers are Inox stainless steel as far as I know, your best to purge the system with pure argon before welding...
