Yet another Fuelpak question
My bike will have to have it's first MOT (annual vehicle safety test in the UK) this year and it'll fail with the V&H slip-ons etc fitted. Being as it was such a pain to get the Fuelpak neatly tucked away I'm wondering if I can temporarily set all the program values on it to 0 instead of removing it just for the test. So does anyone know if setting all the Fuelpak values to 0 effectively just makes the bike work as though it wasn't fitted at all? Or do I have to skin all my knuckles and swear a lot again to remove and refit it?

I feel your pain. A few weeks ago, I was having some funky issues with the way my bike was running. I thought it may be related to the fuelpak and the only suggestions I could get were to remove it and see what happened. I wasn't looking forward to that. Fortunately, the issues did not occur again and I haven't had to do anything. I had recently washed the bike and suspect water had gotten into something that caused the temporary issues. Bike has run like a top since then.

Hi Ya from Limey land too,
You don't have to have the bike running well to pass an MOT - so just put the old pipes back on and take to your local tester without changing anything and it'll pass fine if the usual safety stuff is good to go.
Cheers
