With modern bikes coming from the factory in a high (ish) state of tune, its great to get a brief look into how you make one faster.

[@pags1981]

Did you use Yoshimira for the R7 CAMs and airbox, they have some good race spec upgrades

[@imwithstupid00011]

What sort of curve does the fuel map show? Flat-ish,rich/lean at diffrrent stages of the rev range?

[@Velodictorian]

Less talk more action. Show us instead of describing it

[@Thehelmet22]

When’s the follow up to this video

[@sujith9157]

Just show me the bike pls😢

[@400chevlc]

Well that was an anticlimax.

[@JamesBrown-ux9ds]

Talk not tune, excuses piled up in a way, nobody a sponsor would put his money on? Next time better, deeper and more. At least show the parts you are talking about, TH-cam is no radio made but for viewers?

[@jhstony]

[@tadhgoshaughnessy6612]

You're fare thick ..builds a race bike without changing airbox no brainer .😂😂😂

[@johnnymack63]

Airbox not arrived in time for the NW200. As explained in the video.

[@rekzkat]

Did you watch it dumbo ...... the upgrade airbox hadn't arrived & calling them "fare" thick says so much more about you than these guys !
