Hi everyone

I'm new to this forum and i want to introduce myself shortly. I come from Poland( yes we do ride bikes over here ). I recently bought 2000 Honda RVT 1000. The bike came to PL from United States, 16K on the clock, 2hand, looks pretty good, when i bought the bike it was commpletly stock.

I've already done few mods: MIVV Titanium endcans, Zipser crash bungs, K&N,also small things like indicators, Renthal M grips etc. What comes soon is the undertray, MRA Racing screen, stainless brake lines. I'm a great fan of Irish road racing, so i will try to make few decals to make the bike look a bit like Joey's D. Vimto Demon VTR.

here's a pic of the bike with my beloved ZRX 1100R, (the list of mods to this bike is much to long)






here's a link to my bikepics site, take a look :

not many, if you look just at the sport bikes, but lot of choopers, HD's and all that renegade machines are imported from US to PL. Also crashed bikes( UK and other countries also) are parted out over here because of this this f*^%ing stunt riding witch is here also a big thing, and they realy destroy bikes just for fun Sorry but i just think that BIKE is not a skate board...

Very VERY Nice bro.,

The only thing I don't like is the sticker\decal> (Demon)
all over the RC... but hey.... it's your RC..

I'm Wondering what kind of Slip-Ons those are too?

Ride safe and enjoy....

OH Yeah... Since your RC51 IS a USA model... You are going to want to make sure, the "Soft Rev. Limiter" mod. is done!...?
IF it hasn't been done, Do it asap, You WILL,.. thank me later, especially if you have been pushing it and getting into anything over 9200 to 9500 RPM's, on up to Red line,... on a regular bases..

Peace Jeff

This decal "Vimto Demon" is a kind of tribute to this man:



...who at age of 49 won Isle of Man TT for 26time,Joey Dunlop, only thing i'm thinking about is to change colour of this decal to yellow

Exhaust is made by MiVV, it's a titanium set pf endcans:

MIVV - Home

Please tell me more about the "Soft Rev. Limiter" mod ???

thx

Cool,.. I read you...

About the "Soft Rev. Limiter"...
Do you have FULL power all the way to 10,250 RPM's OR does she feel like she loses alittle something,.. shortly after 9000+ RPM's?

IF you've got Full power all the way to red line, then You're good... if she feels like she's dropping alittle Power\pull,.. shortly after 9,000RPM's then,.. it isn't done and or it has failed..

READ: This,.. is for USA models "ONLY".... and it IS the BEST and easy way, to pull Full Power to Red Line and an extra hit of approx. 5hp out of the RC51's ECU for acouple bucks!
Scott aka CBR400RR sells "Already made kits" complete with instructions for the Soft Limiter rev. bypass mod.

Some one here will post the info. shortly I'm sure..

Peace

Ofcourse, You are Welcome

So, I'm guessing you believe it is NOT bypassed...?

I just reread your OP and see you said it is 100% stock\OEM... So then yeah, definitely get S-R-L bypass done... Also, get yourself Power Commander III USB!...
Which this is 1 od my Fav. mods as well... I love the Power Commander! FWIW... PC III USB was my First mod. and Worth every penny!
