Best looking one ive had, has a Tyga kit. one question... the twin exhausts on the back sound cool but i want something with a real deep sound you know... can any one suggest anything? I was thinking either new mufflers or maybe packing them??

Those underseat cans look amazing. I could easily do with a pair of those

Nice looking bike. Need better photos though!

Today was massive.

Sliding around in the wet. Track dried up at the end of the day and I got 2 fast sessions in. Seat of the pants stopwatch says a second faster than previous best, at least !

Wicked stuff.

Haven't put it in yet. I have a hunch that it would push the front end about something fierce.

Will get some forks first, then put the shock in.

It is a 4 cyl 400.. I don't think it will get real deep.

the V4 will make an awesome burble with a free flowing muffler

Oi your face.

I know it does, I have one with said muffler.

But it is only a burble.

It's not going to boom like a thunder storm in hell like a big 90degree v twin is it.

Ignitech programmable ignition, with a HRC map on it and Ignitech super heavy duty reg/rec (it's huge!). Bring on the rebuild

I think I have the cable somewhere so you can remap the cdi using your PC and the software at my parents house if you want it ill go out and have a look for it, I think the cable is like $50 from dick smiths!

Hey boys 'n girls, is it "common" for black boxes to go??? My Viffer ain't sparking & I've tested all connections etc which are coming up power on all, leaving the suggestion it's the black box at fault. Does this sound like a viable fault?
I just want my POWER!!! back. The fxr just don't have the same feeling (tho I have been enjoying the fuel savings)

[motorbyclist]

no it's not common for the CDI to go....

are all four plugs and both coils not functional?

[Gingin]

IT was the pulse generator on on my vffr -- no pulse so didn't know when to spark so didn't.

Pretty uncommon, although there are a few spares floating around from people swapping out their CDIs for programmable ones.

I'd say check the connectors for corrosion and test the harness for continuity. Broken wires and corroded connections are pretty common, especially if the bike hasn't always been garaged.

na none of the plugs or any of the 4 coils spark for me, yet I'm getting the voltages & resistances I should expect along the lines. So the next suggestion was the CDI
