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.

Alan:
I sympathize with you, completely. I find it absurd that V&H would tell anyone on this discussion board that they should shut up. I have read all of Jeffytune's comments concerning the FP, and frankly I think he is likely the most knowledgeable "amatuer" around.
I did notice one thing in reading one of your earlier posts, you corrected your FP version from 13 to 12. Mine is version 13. This may be the reason that my ride doesn't pop on decel nor does it have the flat spot. Sounds like V&H must have been fine tuning something from V12 to V13....Whatdaya think?
