25 bhp is ALOT for just a remap.

And soooooo much smoother in general operation, perhaps Mr K might want to take note and look at how they setup the bike from new.

I have talked to Hilltop about doing my trike, but it wont go on his rolling road so he can only do it using gas analyser etc so not sure ....

Have you pulled the flies or did they tweak the setting they use?

Yes you have no chance of getting that on his system, i have not pulled the flies at all and Geoff simply remapped my ECU during four (i think) runs on the Dyno.

God knows, but i wont, i reckon they have no chance of finding out anyways, they wont interrogate the ECU to check its not as factory reset even if they know what Kawasaki put in there in the first place.

Do it.

Technically speaking you must inform your insurers of any 'modification' failure to do so could invalidate your insurance 
BE KIND...

Modification, hmmm some would say i am only releasing whats there from the start and is unavailable due to Mr K's incompetence.

You most certainly do need to make your insurance company aware of the modification. It may be that they no longer wish to provide you with cover because of the modification but more likely than not they will simply charge you a higher premium.

The worst case scenario is that after an rtc your bike is recovered by the insurance company and examined by them or a collision investigation unit in more serious collisions. Any undeclared modifications will undoubtedly declare your policy of insurance null and void.

I cant imagine how fast the bike must be after a re-map if its considered too slow now!

It was never slow, but now the smoothness is simply stunning, right up from 1100rpm to whatever you want, I had a vibration at around 3.5k and what I would call hunting when doing 30mph which annoyed me but now, smooooooooth as silk.
