Hi Jeff, Euros....AS IF..... :^)
Thanks for the tip. I actually met Nicholas last summer at a Bike meet at Beaulie in the New Forest. We had a long chat about getting rid of the Surging, and I seem to recall that Nicks focus was on the Exhaust and Cat, which he had removed, and replaced with a free flowing system. By the way Nicks bike sounds like it runs on Meths. Very nice rumble. Very scary bike. Very nice bloke. I have saved off all the relevant data on surging from the past 3 years on this list, but have yet to find anything that does more than soften the problem, and I would like to avoid major obvious surgery if possible.

If so, I'd recommend you see if Nicholas Threader is available for consultation; He was extremely helpful in helping me cure my surging problem. I also recommend that you search the archives on this issue; there's a lot of information - some applicable and some not, but good info just the same on this subject.

I hope to tackle this problem in stages with each one more severe than the last. 1) Cheap. Get the bike on a Dyno and have the operator try to see what the problem is and fix it by tweaking the existing system. Am I expecting to much from this idea? has any one else been to a Dyno centre? 2) Pricey. Get the engine management chip replaced with a reprogrammed device ,or fit a Dynojet ICON system to intercept and remap the ECU signals. Do I really want to bugger around with my standard kit? What will my insurance company do to my premium? 3) Extortion. Junk the whole damn ECU system, and replace it with a bespoke system from MoTec. These guys list themselves as specialists in custom ECU systems. I am considering their M4 unit, which allows for a custom map to cater for almost every conceivable variable. This unit accepts all data from the bikes own sensors, lambda, TPS, verbal abuse from pilot etc... It also means that I could use their SW and my laptop to remap and tinker with my bike as much as I wanted, and yes I watched "Street-Hawk" as a child! Am I throwing the best part of �1K down the drain? should I save my money and trade up / down to an R1100S? Will my insurance company speak to me? Your comments and derision will be most welcome.
