 Intro I have thrown this up so a friend of mine can see where I am at with this job. It is just words thrown at a page with a loose frame work. I will edit this later and share it on social media when it is ready.. After receiving the ECU back from Japan to have an HRC card coded to it, I took the bike for a test run starting with the OEM key card. This went well with the little bike purring along nicely with laser sharp handling compared to my VFR800fi. I opted to pull over and swap to the hrc card and the bike decided to not restart. This resulted in me having to hide the bike and walk back, thankfully a passing chap gave me a lift after 20 minutes walking and I could organise a mate of mine to help me out with his trailer. This must have been before I got my van; Wow that was ages ago! The bike has sat on the naughty step ever since, with other more important projects getting done over the fancy but bloody annoying NSR. I did have a couple of looks at it but nothing in

A bloody age ago (curse of  too many bikes) I swapped the flywheel to advance my ignition. Then Mr money bags went and bought an HRC card...

The website acts as a middle man and for a reasonable lump of cash you get a shiny HRC card, I got the older P-010 dry program card with no key as who wants to open their boot when in race mode? Two things are needed to make this work on your bike: A wire splice - Nice and easy Reprogram the key - Previously impossible but not so anymore! Wire splice In an ideal world this part shouldn't be needed as you bought the race wiring harness with your HRC card.  The idea that a convenient card swap can completely change the way your bike makes power is what attracted me (and many others) to this machine. However the fact that you need to change the entire wiring har

Everything looks better in Carbon fiber Well not exactly a correct statement as I have seen plenty of bikes ruined with carbon effect decals and the like but it is hard to deny that a good bit of carbon fiber here and there helps make things look pretty exotic. As it happens I decided to spank Jap4performance 's website before coming home so had lots of shiny carbon fiber bits to fit to my bike. Some of it is very complicated and well made by Tyga performance. Other bits are fairly straight forward but look substantially better than the original. There was only one panel I had to drill to get it to fit other than that they were all straight swaps. This one isn't too wordy as the pictures do the talking. The stock clutch cover is pretty cool as it is with it's Honda racing logo.  This will be staying in my kit box with the rest of the part removed. Clutch pressure plate looks like new after a quick clean. The Tyga cover looks great and w
