3m scotch invisible paint protection film on the swingarm in all vunerablr areas.
Get it on eBay for a few quid. Same stuff as venture shield for a tenth of the cost.

Rubber hose is a decent shout.
I've got some of the protective film, but the chain goes through the wheel and around the swingwarm so it's not just the swingarm at risk of damage.

Bit of live mapping with the bazzaz unit. Better but still wants some more. Was a bit busy on the roads so not the best conditions.
"80mph" sorry officer I possibly could not have done that I'm no Valentino Rossi.

Yes you set it in mapping mode click click start and it starts logging data. You go out for a ride and when you come back it has collected the data trying to adjust the fuel to keep it to the afr that you have set. You apply the map and the can go out again to fine tune it. Been reading and people suggest doing the process about 3 times.Blade wrote:How is it going Rocket ? Is it pretty easy to self map ?
The traffic was pretty heavy today so was not the best for roll ons etc but the bike felt smoother after the first map was applied

Sounds good mate. What AFR are you targeting.
Do you need it pinned to map 100% open throttle ?
