    I've had a look at the video on youtube (and i've bookmarked the one on here to look at later) but there was talk of the Ignition Retard Controller ....

    I've had a look about and it seems to be for US bikes only, can anybody confirm??

    Cheers,

    Unclip the fuel hose, it does have an automatic non return valve, you will lose a thimble of fuel, just put a rag under to catch that :)

    No probs if you need any more help I am here all afternoon and have fitted my PCV on a couple of occasions now, it is easy to remove the tank and it gives you more room to sort the harness out if you can be arsed that is, otherwise just prop it up

    Right that's the PCV fitted and bike running, power light on the box

    However I didn't pick up sensors for speed or anything else ...

    Which sensors should I be picking up?

    Throttle position must be working OK though? I think you should calibrate this before first use.

    Yeah load a close map and get to the Dyno, leave the TPS alone is my advice as the RR8's power down the pcv when off its hard to reset the tps without running the motor, red line an unloaded motor is not a good idea.. :)
