    Well I read he's gonna be away for the weekend, so can we dream up a few more trick questions for him?

    Im confused. I thought a exup valve prevented rear entry by exaust gas and hondas.

    But the flux capacitor that the later models had fitted ... fixed that.

    Didn't it ... ???

    The muffler bearings past the wear limit will cause the TC sensor to give a false signal to the ECU which in turn will cause the EXUP valve to flutter, but only above 12,000 rpm....right??

    But...apparently filling the tyres with CO2 remedies this completely!!

    What if a big blow-off valve was fitted instead .. ??? At 15,000 rpm ... it would sound awesome ...
