I've had my forks revalved and resprung by my (sort of ) local Ktech specialist. There were nearer options but KRG seemed the best option having sorted suspension on EVOs before. Couldn't stretch to a Nitron shock but he tried to find components to revalve and respring the shock but unsuccessful, so the shock has had a heavier oil and an Ohlins linear spring fitted. All matched to my weight.

So time to get my ECU to Neil at which point I find I have a DP air filter. So the bike has had both Lambdas removed, plugged and electric connection plugged, exhaust valve removed, carbon termis, DP air filter and top, DP seat all done before I bought the bike. Why? It puzzles me why anyone would upgrade all this and not remap the ECU. I checked the dash and no reference to DP there so I'm wondering if the remap has been done......but if it has why is the bike so bad at closed loop. I'll ring Neil for advice but guess Ill just have to send the ECU to him and hope the remap isn't already there. The ECU shows the following which suggests to me - the novice, that it is a "race" ecu and therefore DP but the dash doesn't confirm this

M1100evoRAC
DOB1U1EOB
Cp.SIL.RAC.
96521511B

The Air filter is dry - was expecting it to be oiled as per K&N, it does look pretty new though.

Finally, is there any point in changing the filter to some other hi flow version?
