even though bike is sorned at the mo i still have it insured incase someone decides to nick it. my new policy states that i must have it chained overnight 10pm to 6am which probably is a good idea. anyone recommendations?

unless u know the protocol that kawasali use there gonna be probs. there's about six diffewrent protocols. once you've id the protocol then it should be be poss to work out what data each sensor is sending

building the comp should be easy. its the can bus stuff that's the tricky bit and then writing the software ontop

interesting proj though. these might help

what's the price point of the beamer? i bet its more expensive with the crap bmw quality weve come to expect. kawa should up their game, maybe add alot more extra at the same price point. yes, it mean lower profit margin on a single unit but bigger margins on volume sales.

hi dasad u'll find the gtr has more than enough poke to put some sports bikes  to shame. i only opened the throttle fully once and had to hold on. acceleration was amazing. if you want more power aftermarket exhaust, power commander and pulling the flies is the way to go

Mt bike is hibernating for winter. Popped on to see if there was a decent battery tender recommendation.

Isn't norman the one who posts all his gimmicks?
