    That's fine except the Power Commander fuel maps are not by year, for some reason you're adding unnecessary complexity. There are only Euro or Non-Euro Power Commander fuel maps. So far my VFR has acheived 144 mph GPS speed based on the limitations of totally clear and open rural road. If red lined in 6th gear, it would be 155 mph but I don't really see the point, my VFR is running unrestricted at full power or at 100% efficiency, that's all that can be realistically expected.

    That is the "sole purpose" of this thread and these few (ever so slight) mods that involve "removals, add-ons and adjustments" to fully realize the VFR over an extended period of life long reliablilty and ownership. Avoid becoming entrapped or confused with "over the top" type of costly mods to "go faster" and then those same folks demand all sorts of numbers, who really cares? I just want my VFR to run at maximum efficiency which is evident by GPS speed, look ageless, handle silky smooth and sound great, and not spend a fortune or become dependent upon a shop or anybody else, to keep it that way, its that simple ��

    What's the purpose in trying to redline 6th gear anyway?
    When with 3-4 easy items, the 5th Gen will run "it's best", too much emphasis is put on speed, it's somewhat important and a way measure moving down the road, but in itself, speed is not the as much of the "sole defining factor" that really matters

    What's the purpose of you lying about redlining 6th gear anyways?

    SMH who's putting what emphasis on what in this thread? Seems to me you just like to re read and write what you feel keeps thing agitated . You never from what I've seen gone to other threads and give a nod of respect , nor quality advice or relating.
    It's Ok, I understand that you're stuck in your little world trying to prove to yourself what you have done is great new news. We know better. It is what it is.
    You should really go back and re read all that you wrote, pretty enlightening in what not to do, so many switch back and fourths here, change of subject or no reply, one needs a map to keep track. It's your thread topic. Do what you want, It's Ok. I understand.
    Understand this, most here know the know, even though you would subconsciously like to give your self a pat on the back. I get it. Nothing new here. It's Ok.
    Enjoy your bike for what it is, yes the VFR is a great bike, Doh! we all ready know that. Now tell us something we don't know please, and oh BTW numbers do tell us something, but if it runs great for you, Good on you, It's Ok, I understand.
    Happy New year!!!!

    JZH, where did you source your euro ECU? What changes has it produced for you? I'd be interested in adding one to my gen 5 PCIII/Staintune/K&N package. It is clear that you've done your research on the matter and I'd like to follow in your footsteps. My dyno runs when custom mapping the PCIII resulted in 99hp, which has been enough to keep me smiling every minute I'm on my bike, even when a CBR1000RR or gen 7 runs away from me on a straightaway. In motorsports, we rarely hear someone say that they have too much power - I have never said that. I'd consider an ECU upgrade.

    It's always been the same here, I bought a 5th Gen and shopped for readily available and Obtainable mods and did the installs, pretty simple

    You're a troll, or a simpleton, most probably both. At least Hispanicslammer had the nous to shut down your bullshit.
    I doubt also that you can actually ride a bike.

    I did searches on eBay and actually started buying a Euro ECU "ED" from U.K. but the seller would not ship to USA so I kept searching the eBay Euro domains and found a Euro ECU "G" in Germany and paid about $120 with shipping. I was very suprised how much better my 5th Gen ran with a Euro ECU in combination with a catless header, second snorkel(no flapper) and a Staintune High Level Race exhaust along with the PC3 Euro Fuel map and o2 eliminator,that's the ticket. Next I need to install a fresh fuel filter because it's running better with a full tank the filter needs changing,while I'm in theee I might also replace the original (15 year old) fuel pump. That should take care of fuel, air and exhaust. Next is a higher output stator and rectifier and a fresh Barnett clutch

    This shows how dumb you are, if your fuel filter is restricting flow, whether your tank is full or almost empty will make zero difference.
    You are special in a special kind of way that is especially special.

    A 15 year old fuel filter would need to be replaced with a new one, it's time

    Butt dyno tell you that?
    A part needs replaced when it is no longer effective, not before. For instance your brain is old, but almost unused.

    The Dyno isn't necessarily true either, ultimately then GPS top speed says everything

    Ah, still not engaging the brain. That sucker will have a great resale value in such unused condition.
    Feel free to quote this and mention pronouns.

    What really matters? The fact you have posted page after page of bullshit, or that your life is enhanced by being a troll?

    Yeah, I'm sure every engine manufacturer the world over totally agree with you. All of us here secretly yearn to even catch a glimpse of your awesomeness and proud determination to prove yourself incapable of objectively look at the advice of those who actually know something about engine design. I'm sure physics, fluid dynamics, thermal dynamics, fuel air ratios, laminar air flow, friction, heat, etc etc etc are all absolutely stupid too. Why, BMW, they must be so wrong when they use dyno traits to tune their bikes, gear by gear, in order to ensure each system, including their suspensions, are working at the utmost.

    Surely, to fuel dragster engine builders, have never used a dunno in their long history of building engines up to their 10,000+ horsepower status. Surely, Toyota had never used a dunno to help shape their fuel and ignition maps to ensure maximum longevity and fuel mileage from their cars. I mean, that's got to be the reason why my Highlander has over 240,000 miles on it and it still runs like new. Good forbid they use a dunno, it would have only lasted 30,000 miles, been super slow and get 12 mpg.

    I'm so happy to know that you are so absolutely devoid of reason as to just absolutely know that what you are talking about is actual fact, and your method of getting is to break the law, repeatedly, and post video evidence on public forums. I mean why bother with quantifiable standardized testing of each and every change with before and after results in a scientific repeatable basis, when you can stupidly waste money and throw together a strange hodgepodge of parts and then commit multitudinous misdemeanors on public streets to convince yourself that you know what you're talking about.

    I've tried many times to be patient with you. The only thing really available in this thread is you obstinate and tenacity to count to unproven ideas and prove that you are a waste of bandwidth. You come here saying how your are such the expert and you know better. Not much could be further from the truth.

    Don't bother replying. I'm done with your hardheadedness. So many here have offered their time and energy to guide you into making a better choice and they only thing you have to give in return is the attitude of I know better, and you refuse to actually accept the possibility of someone actually knowing better than you. You don't, and the amusing thing is that you constantly tell use over and over that you are, in fact, simple minded and obstinate and their indoor this forum and also the faces of those who took their time to help you achieve the very stated goals in the beginning of this thread.

    I'm putting you on ignore, so replying to me will not be seen. Additionally, I'm no longer going to give this thread any more attention. You are not going to even consider what others say here, and their in my opinion only, are not very welcome here. It's a free country and a public forum, so feel free to continue to post here, but please consider that you actually aren't adding to our community here.
