    Luckily the Honda loom fits Suzuki's aswell so Ill try it on my gixxer on track next year! Never been to Brands, Snetterton and Anglesey so let me know if any of you are going.

    Im like a kid at xmas and couldnt wait to fit it but its baltic in the garage. Ill finish it once I find a heater:D

    Just a couple of things

    1. How does the air intake tube come out on the rr6? Ill play around with it once I can feel my fingers!
    2. Wheres the best place to mount the display so you can still get to the button on the back.

    To remove the front air intake you need to drop the rad down, the two fixings are each side of the scoop, look upwards to the underside of the yoke and you should see them on each side they are hex alens, however you don't need to remove that part to get to the coil packs, you can split it to remove the section you have in the image by removing the two philips screws each side of the intake about half way down but you need to remove the two side panels and look from the side to see them, they sit in little half round channels, then pull the throttle cables up to remove the lower air box section shown in your image.

    Most people mount the LCD under the seat or zip tied on the side of the sub frame even.

    Oh and thanks again for choosing me to get the HM from :)

    No need mate, look for the two screws on each side they split what you have left in half.

    Yeah to adjust the sensitivity, kill time and something esle I cant remember.


    I think something to do with whether you use road/race shift pattern. I haven't fitted it yet. Only stripped a few bits off today. Im yet to play with it! And as you can properly tell im not the best at reading instructions. I like to dive in first :D

    thanks mate, yeah santa did come early here, although we have st nicholas on the 6th of dec, so I just use that as an excuse :D :D
    I'm slowly getting there, will be happy once it's around about 20/25th of jan, the bike should be ready then……
    You'll love the QS, this is my second HM, wouldn't want any other brand ;)

    The 6th! He really did come early then.

    Cant wait to try it! I havnt heard a bad comment about them. Plus we have Arthur and HM on the forum which is a great help. So win win! (Well apart from the handing money over part)

    hahahha I know what you mean about the £££'s, I can get them cheaper than anywhere else, but I don't mind when I know I'm getting a great product… HM custumer service is very good as well, I've know them to replace broken bits after warranty had expired, so well done to them…
