    Anyone ever run Nitrous Oxide on there VFR ? And before some of you guys say Nitrous Oxide is Dangerous or bad for the motor .
    let me stop you here . I have ran Nitrous on street cars and race cars for years and years . If its install properly it's not Dangerous or bad for the motor Especially on a fuel injection motor . Kit Im looking at you get to pick 3 jets from 5hp to 92hp shot . I'm looking at a
    5 , 15 , 20 jets . I can set it up where it will not come on till 2 gear and at a certain RPM . For the little shots im looking at I should not have to retard the timing but I would run premium fuel like I always do anyway . $400 for the kit

    And why is that ? Waiting to spray a little shot of NOS in my VFR Determines if my VFR is right for me ?
    Why would you even reply to my post if you had no Opinions and or answers ?

    No need to get all testy. He made an observation that several will make: The VFR ain't a rocketship. If you want a bike to be that much faster, maybe there would have been other options.

    But to the point:

    Being safe for the fuel injection wouldn't be my concern, but I would want to look into compression ratios. I'm not sure what the stock compression is on these bikes, nor do I know what a 5, 20 or 90 shot will do on these little V4s. But any time a false induction system is added, compression is my concern.

    Well I thought about that and I'm going to look it up , however if it's not a concern when putting on the Supercharger kit that is made for this bike then I think a little shot of NOS would be ok . I know guys who run NOS on GSXR's and ZX's I would almost bet that those bikes have a higher compression . And them guys are spraying more then what I was looking at . I think what I will do is talk to the guys at my Ducati dealer by me . They build race bikes for customers and the master mechanic races himself . I was told he is one of 6 master mechanic for Ducati in the states . I'm up there all the time anyway . lol I'm not looking to make my 2007 VFR into a race bike I just started putting together a GSXR1000 drag bike , but sometime alittle more get up and go would be nice if I have a little Super bike playing with me .

    I love when someone says that NOS is cheating . LOL So funny . Most guys who say that don't understand the process or they will say Supercharger is not cheating but NOS is . I want to hear how it's cheating ? you put a Exhaust and or a K&N on your bike for what ? to let the motor breathe better ? So the injection of nitrous oxide into an engine means that more oxygen is available during combustion. Because you have more oxygen, you can also inject more fuel, allowing the same engine to produce more power.

    *Nitrous oxide has another effect that improves performance even more. When it vaporizes, nitrous oxide provides a significant cooling effect on the intake air. When you reduce the intake air temperature, you increase the air's density, and this provides even more oxygen inside the cylinder.
    So if this is cheating then going to a race track that's below sea level where the air is more dense is cheating .

    No opinion or answer? My answer was purely an opinion. If NOS appeals to you, there are far, far better bikes to us as your starting point. Why try to accelerate an extra 100lbs at a higher cost?

    You don't like what I said, and I can live with that. But it was actually intended to be a helpful opinion and answer.

    If I took it the wrong way then I apologize . But The way it was made you did not know what or way I wanted it for . I look at it this way You go buy all this stuff like most guys on here do PC3 and so on to get what 9hp ? and spend $800 or more . but for 5-20hp I would spend $400
    see what I'm saying . yes I'm getting the PC5 or whatever . But bang for the buck . $400 is not bad that's $20 for 1hp . better deal then $100 for each hp .

    On streetbikes (or cars) NOS setups usually mean young, irresponsible, obNOXious, drivers (feeling somewhat insecure) in latest street-fasion duds racing like idiotz and desperately seeking attention and a few brief moments of superiority over thier idiot rivals along Main street. Or maybe that's just in my town ??

    I'm getting SO OLD, SO OLD i'm starting to believe that any rider who thinks he needs more than VFR power must be an idiot. Does that make ME an idiot ?

    Klutch slippage, i suspect, wasn't designed to handle that.

    Most of the members here are mature adults, they just want to raise their opinion and input so don't be to offensive. Good luck and keep the story and pictures coming :thumb:

    I don't see the clutch slipping with a 10 or 20hp increase also the clutch only has 4,000 miles on it . But that's what I'm looking for someone to throw things out there to think about .That I have not . thanks .
    Also I'm looking for more tactical mechanical input then just saying if I should or not .
    Like with compression ratios and clutch slipping .

    I'm as dumb as I look and have no idea what NOS would do to the engine, but sure hope this doesn't turn out to be a "here, hold my beer and watch this...." moment.
    P.S. I've had a few of those moments myself.
