Had A Great Visitor

It was great to put a face to someone on the forum.
Had a visit from a great character called Chad today with his green Girly.
The bike was not runnining as it should so proceeded with the airbox mod and thankfully the pattern K&N type wouldn't fit (shame).
The original has far more area to filter the air coming into the engine.
Balanced the Throttle Bodies which were miles out, so much for the recent stealer service.

The really interesting thing was I blew in the TOR tune for his bike, the wire spoke model and it would not run correctly.
BUT,
When the later map from mine was put in, which is very slightly doctored, ahem, it ran great!
Never tried the later 955 map into the early but it seem to work, perhaps someone will be along to add to this.
Only problem seem to be the variables were of a more finite adjustment and the idle is a tad high but I think this was more physical than electronic, ie butterfly fault.

Also the 15yr Brandy is slipping down a treat (THANKYOU) so better stop writing so do i might mistooks made even HIC.   :new_all_coholic     :ImaPoser   :thumbsup

I may as well do it, as I'm gonna get blamed for it anyway.
