It was the 1098 we were comparing to the RSV4, not that there's much difference; I do prefer the RSV4.

RSV4 > 1098/1198 > 999

The 1098 and 1198 are the same model bike, like 08 R1 to 12 R1, the shape and fairings are exactly the same. Obviously the only reason for the name change was because they had to reflect the cc's. Which was why I said shape.

Anyway the whole point of the above was that everyone has different tastes. 999's are fine enough bikes.

Blahblahblahblahblahblahblah..... Anyway.

Used to have dealers buy cars for me at the auctions and yes, they do go for substantially less than private sale. But substantial being enough to make a tidy profit on the vehicle, not a ridiculous margin. Don't doubt the real bargains happen from time to time with no reserve auctions, but finding it difficult to believe that a 20k-25k bike in near new condition would sell for 8k, even at dealer auctions. I'd wanna see the papers!

yeh thats right.

but you have to understand that these auctions are to recoup what funds havent been paid back yet. whatever is left owing(shortfall) is still up to the resoponsibility of debtor.

and the bike wasnt sold in the bike auctions you get, its sold as mortgagee. + in this case it was combined finance with a SL65 which pretty much paid for the rest of the contract, so the bike didnt really matter to us lol

plus the bike was a debt write off as provision without asset that we later found through our repo agents. so no reserve was set on the bike, and boss's didnt seem to care much about the bike.

trust me i'de show you invoices but on a scale, keeping my job - by far - outweighs trying to prove my point to you lol

Yes I said "not that there's much difference". FYI 09-12 R1 are the same, 07 and 08 have the previous shape and engine. Not complaining about Martin's taste, just offering him a flame suit for his self prophesised flaming.

Sif your job outweighs proving a point to me. I know what lengths you'd go to...long...lengths...

What I meant was 1098 to 1198 is like 07-08 R1 to 09 onwards R1. Superseded model although only real difference was the cc increase therefore when speaking about the shape, which hasn't changed, it's essentially the same bike.

Prove Birdman wrong Aaron!

You can do it!

You can be the man that proved him wrong!

There can be only one...

These are getting cheap

    • Don't even try to run it on the stock ECU if you're going to have the boost controller bring boost above ~10 psi. I've already told you that. If you use the Nistune ECU, you will need to CAREFULLY read the available documentation for Neo tuning, and read some threads on the Nistune forums, to discover the various things you have to do to prevent the ECU from going bananas when the boost is too high. The is a table associated with th boost sensor that must be modified to prevent it from shitting the bed. This is just one of the things that you will need to do to the tune in Nistune, because the Neo turbo ECU will be expecting to see a number of things (such as the TCS) that are not there, and you have to block the DTCs on those. It is totally not surprising to me that you are having the problems that you are, but the solutions to these problems have been known for >15 years. So just get it done.
    • Hi. Sry iam not a mechanic and iam not at the car atm so i dont know 100% but they told they measure those and even try to change those. AFM they have two. Coils are new a they have my old one too. Plugs too. ECU...we have 25 NEO stock and Nistune 25 NEO.   But i dont know if any one those could be the problem and why/if/what can cause this, Only thing they did not check is fuel...but that walbro 255 is new(like 1,5 years)... That fuel pressure gauge idk...but i let them know Any suggestions?   EDIT: how can they know if it is like you say he ECU pull power when it reaches a specific boost level that is too high? Tha car has boost controler
