    Hello everyone!

    New member. Anyone from Salisbury/Southampton area? I am new to Fireblades (bought it last month) and am really enjoying it. I used to have a race tuned ZZR1400 with 200 RWHP and I tried various different bikes after that but didn't like any of them. However, this Fireblade is totally my kinda bike. I like bikes with linear power curves.

    I just fitted a RaceFit Black Edition exhaust and *it is bloody loud* - this is a serious understatement. If anyone has a PCV map for it (stock air filter with O2 eliminator) it would be great if you could please email it to me.

    Hello everyone. PCV arrived today and I've just installed the map which Dynojet UK gave me for the Race Fit Black Edition. Looking fwd to fitting it and testing it this weekend. Just fitting the exhaust makes the bike pretty lame. It keeps hunting for idle like crazy and loses power. I can't sleep at night with that kinda setup. Bike always has to be optimised to perfection :)

    Howdy. I'm not far from you..Near the New Forest.
    Never actually been to loomies but had a good hack down the A272. Great road but all double whites. Where else is good round that way ?

    Hi,

    There is a route to Loomies we designed called the Soton TT. 87 corners...really fast route. Me and my mate used to be the kings of Soton TT....but lost touch recently. I'm back jnto biking after a 1 year break and new to Fireblades...so still learning it. Happy to do Soton TT for a relaxed, non crazy ride though. I am in Soton right now getting the bike race tuned. Can't do today though...
