Carbs synced on the VFR, had some wiring to fix in the tail light from some mice over the winter. Few new cracks in the fairings I did my best to fix, and reassemble everything. Bike just needs an oil change and it’s ready to ride Drained and flushed the coolant to replace with water on the...

Reassembled the scoot after painting the plastics over winter (mint 10ft paint job if I do say so) still need to find a rear brake cable and a fender, and lower it Parts came for the VFR carbs so those got stripped and reassembled (had to remove the plenum to get to the fuel line O-rings) the...

Having personally owned the bike, I can assure it has the same redline as the EU market bike

While I can’t say for certain regarding the exhaust (I’m sure someone can compare part numbers) the NA market does not have a rev limit. Both EU and NA spec bikes will redline at the same RPM. Also no need to replace the NA ECU with a EU vs just flashing the bike to EU specs, as both will void...

Here’s a visual on what the stock ECU does vs an unrestricted or flashed ECU So around 11,500RPM is max power stock Vs 14K flashed

Limits throttle, it’ll rev to redline but won’t make any more power above 13K (might be 12K not sure) Basically above a certain point you can have the throttle open 100% but the ride by wire system will interpret it as X value (say 60%-70%)

From my understanding the exhaust is the same for all markets the bike is sold in, the only difference in the NA market is the software that limits the throttle. The biggest gain will be from switching to aftermarket headers with a tune (stock pipe/slip-on)

Personally I didn’t stick to the factory recommendation, kept it below 120 and tried to never let the engine sit at the same RPM for more then a couple seconds. And oil change at 500 (conventional) and then 1000km (synthetic)

You wanna get almost as many opinions as what kind of oil to use, ask how to break in a new engine. Everybody and their uncles cousin has a different view on it 😂

that’s a long ride if you followed kawi’s break-in RPM of 4000 😂 i lasted about 3 minutes before going over

Bought a set of the S23s on March 25th. Damn

It’s the radiator removal that’s the worst part, and I screwed up and did the quick shift after I did plug’s earlier this year

Vortex rear sets and healtech quick shifter installed, every time I have to access the coils/plugs on this bike I contemplate a naked. Got to use my fancy safety wire tool for the first time as well on the toe peg pins
