I advise against adjusting it.

Thanks

But.... look at FAQ under support and you'll see V&H saying openly and publiclly to incease the the numbers on mode 23 to reduce the runnining out of fuel syptoms on decel. Surely this wouln't be up there if there was a risk of many customers blowing a £5K engine? I do like the product but I don't like the 'smoke and mirrors' either.

I appreciate that this is 'self help' but surely we can openly discuss a V&H suggested change?

I get, undertand and value the product within the limited range of what it can do. I also understand the commercial sensitivity of the mode settings.

But..... is this thread not about helping us all get the most out of it within the understood rules?

Surely discussing a V&H suggested change to mode 23 is within the 'rules', and if there were any realistic risk of £5k motors expolding as a result... then we and v&H are in deep doo doo. If you can't trust the advice on the website then what confidence can we have in the product mapping - blind faith?

I'm just an honest punter wanting top get rid of the stone dead feeling on decel. Personally I'd rather have the popping - providing that, that too is not going to desstroy a £5K motor.......

Which begs the question: why can't the aftermarket come up with products the truely work straight out of the box? I mean we might as well stay stock - then where would we all be? Assuming V&H read this - get with the programme chaps....... shutting the injectors down on decel feels like c**p: at least to this humble but less than fully satisfied customer.
