    Running lean just now but hopefully the ecu flashing will sort that out soon. The riding position is totally different to the old blade…everything geared towards going fast as opposed to comfort lol. Not much padding in the seat but luckily ive got a big arse :D

    Managed a solid 205bhp at the wheel and the lower to mid range is like a completely new bike :cool:

    unblocked the PAIR valve and it sounds mean as F*** on the over run :p

    Over the moon with the results, can’t recommend Mark at Dynoworks in Livingston highly enough, top man.

    I’m not sure if you are planning on fitting the Evotech rad/cooler guard yourself. But…the instructions tell you to virtually dismantle the fairing. On reflection I wondered if it could be done without dismantling the fairing. Albeit a bit more awkward. I wonder if there’s any YouTube videos to assist with fairing removal now, as there wasn’t when I did mine.

    Yeah i will fit it myself, to be fair the fairings are a piece of piss to take off and on anyway if need be...much easier than my old blade anyway that's for sure lol!

    Have a look at racetorq mate, I had one on a 2015 blade and made the gear changes so much slicker .
