    Honda U.K. do not have a answer.
    That’s why we are stuck with running stock tyre size.
    That’s why I would like to know your answer

    They are trying but with no luck.
    What is it you have had done?
    Can you now change your tyre size on the dash?

    I’m waiting with baited breath.
    Thought Honda Italy might have pulled the pin and done the right thing?

    Perhaps the Tornado's run out of puff?

    Might be worth giving woolich racing a call and see if they have flashed the 17-19 model yet? If they have perhaps they might be able to change the tyre profile info

    I have asked a few guys previously and none of them can gain access to it.
    I did email woolich U.K. a few months back but did not get a response unfortunately

    the only way you can change tyre profile or sprocket/gearing without any issue's is with a kit loom but who's gonna spend that sort of money or get access to one?

    Or Honda opens the software in the bike with the ease of a flash

    exactly mate, the bike is flawed and totally miss advertised (fact),you would have to be in the know to get a kit loom like the race teams.
    whats the point of a sports/track bike you cant do anything with?

    That’s the shameful thing, I own a lot of moneys worth of useless machinery that is not fit for purpose, but with a flick of a switch/lap top it could be fixed

    i spoke with someone a last weekend who with the finance companys backing threw the bike back at honda because of this problem and won.and someone else is being sweetened by honda with special parts so he doesn't do the same and open a massive can of worms

    Interesting, Raph. For the sake of all owners I will join the party on this and approach my dealer on the basis I want to track my bike and will require access to ECU alternatives and HRC loom etc. With respect to the OP of this thread, I'll update through a new thread tomorrow.

    Yea good shout, if I could take it back I would, but better still let me have it working properly and me and many others would be happy. We walked out with nearly 60k of bikes and none of us are happy

    I can’t understand why it would not be that easy?
    The software is there.
    The hardware is there.
    It’s just locked.
    I can see the bloody option

    Honda can't afford for a privateer honda to beat them. Lock the software, is the answer.
