I've added a G2 throttle tamer recently, and that's about it, I think.



Hey Rob, what do you think of the trottle tamer?

I have only 500 miles riding my 2001 VFR, but sometimes the trottle "snatch" surprises me and I lurch forward unexpectidly.  I know more riding and muscle memory will help, but thet throttle is the only "issue" that I have with the bike.

Thanks, Mike.

I dunno, I've ridden zero miles with it. Got it installed, immediately had a two week long shutdown at work, did 15 days in a row, and during that time, winter happened.

It never ends. Went to the DMV today to re-register the bike for the season, and they balked, because their records show it as a 1999, but the IBC has deemed it a 2010.

My insurance is correct, the VIN matches, but the year is wrong, and it's the DMV's fault because they did not update their records 3 years ago when I provided them with the proper documentation at that time.

So, I couldn't find the paperwork, had to call the IBC, they sent me the form, and by the time I got back to the DMV, they were closed.

Always save paperwork/receipts when dealing with the DMV or the IRS. They like to make you pay for their mistakes.

yeah, I got it covered now. I did find the purchase receipt for the new frame, and now that I have a copy of the VIN inspection report, I'm gonna put them in an envelope and paste them into the back of my service manual.
