Get the ignitech cdi and programme it with the 'improved standard' map from Rick. That's the best in road form. The full blown HRC map is best for Track/Race use as it has better high RPM torque but lower bottom end.

I agree with the mentioned parts..eerhmm...parts wish list on previous page 17

Billing, tbh best put your pennies on the Ignitech. Probably start with the pre-HRC map an go from there. The TSR system is made for race/track use, upper midrange to high range revs, get it set up right and if needed combined with best optimum carbs adjustments and off you go

Cheers for the thoughts guys, looks like I'll be hitting his ROness up for ignitechy goodness

Hopefully it'll make a noticable difference, given that my bike isn't that far off standard engine wise

Is it possible to make a map that helps get around noise testing (retarding the ignition or something) as I have a feeling I won't be able to pass noise regs at any track days

Got a tip about some cheap Samcos, so saved myself around £10 including buying the clamps. I'm going to use the rest of the money (around £50) to put petrol in the tank

Got the MOT booked for tuesday and got the insurance ready from 5pm on monday night :)

Will definately hit Rick O up at the end of the month if I can afford it (insurance looming @ £220

) for the Ignitech, and will probably leave it at that for now, and save up for a couple of months for the big rads, and possibly RVF cams and RO road needles

searching ebay earlier I found a set of carbs listed simply as 'vfr400 carbs' clicked the picture and saw they had curve bottomed slides, so put an offer in, which was accepted

So will nick those, and sell the NC24 carbs on for a bit less, not bad for £20 all in IMO

As of 20 minutes ago I'm insured to ride the VFR for the last month of my policy

Can't wait to get on it tomorrow for the MOT

Good news! And it's NOT the Dacia Sandero! The VFR now has a green slip saying it's fine for another year

Got an advisory or 2 (or 8!) all on stupid little things that I knew would get mentioned, 2x low tyre tread, loud exhaust, slightly pitted front discs, low tyre pressures (only noticed when I arrived that they looked a bit squishy) and some other stuff I can't rememeber atm.

The tester likes the exhausts, says that they're just about the right volume to be nice sounding, but not so loud they would upset someone.

Cheers Curt, did feel rather good seeing the green slip
