After Malc's exsperience that cured me of any thoughts on a chip,for what little gain certainley not worth the risk,as for fuel range mine normally comes on at around 115-120 mark but then i can only get 11 litres or so to fill up.

My big tank is hanging on the garage wall!!!.

Bailey, mine doesn't cough and splutter at low revs with the K12 reg. I believe it adds about 8% more fuel across the whole range. I've just always had the feeling it's a little rich low down, but it's not a lot, and more than made up for by the way it pulls to the red line. 8)

Having said that, without having it dynoed i'm probably talking out of me ar*e :D

A lot of my riding is slow stuff in London.I'd just hate to have that 'choke stuck on feeling' when you are trying to filter through the traffic.
How much hassle is it to change??
Where are you situated,wouldn't mind a look at a bike with it fitted.

Forgot to add.Did you say you've done away completely with the o2 sniffer.I guess it would really confuse the Motronic if you ran it connected?

Yes, the sniffer is gone. The reg is easy enough to change, it's below the battery so its the usual hastle, bodywork, tank, snorkel etc.

I live in Essex but work near Hampton Court, your more than welcome to have a look.
