Welcome! I'm not even close to being competent re: electrical stuff but putting up a pic or two might make it easier for those more knowledgeable than I to help you out!

Hey Doc, Thank you for the reply but putting up a pic in this case ? Thinking it would make no difference since it only evolves two connectors. There is a black dot next to one of plug in on the bottom of the tank so I am thinking it there to show where the black plug should go ? I am going to plug the black there and the brown to the other and see what happens, thinking if it starts and runs things will be good ? Famous last words, Lol 😝

Well, after looking at everything again I discovered that the brown went to the connector that had the black mark next to it and the black connector went to the other. It is running great ! Now without all the smog control that had it popping and cracking, much better. Ready for the dino and should be somewhere around 185 hp at the back tire ?

ready for the track

Glad it worked!

Wiki lists your year as having 158 wheel hp. I can't even imagine! lol

Have you been to the track before?

I bought exhaust from Toce, plus I sent to brain to them to have it flashed. They had the exact bike and they did the same set up that I had done on mine, they videoed the bike on dino set up the same as mine and it was doing 184 hp on their dino. I ride track many times a year, and the issue with this bike is keeping the front end on the ground. On track I keep it in number two wheelie mode and it still comes up but not very far. I have had the bike to around 175 mph and it was still wanting to go.

Nice! You are just a hair shy of double my hp!

I love track days but it makes it tough to enjoy street riding...

Just a little F4i. I've only done a few track days (3 total) over the last two years but hope to do at least that many this coming season. Makes me wish I'd started riding much sooner because, while I'm in pretty good shape, I ain't young anymore!

I'd love to do VIR but Summit Point is literally 15 minutes away and has 3 different tracks. I've ridden Shenandoah (super twisty) circuit twice and Jefferson (real nice for you liter bike guys!) once.
