    2001 Transalp XLV650. Faithful old friend still chugging away nearly 100,00miles
    2007 Varadero XLV1000. Now you're torquing but sadly gone to another forum member. One of the best bikes - period.

    Do you mean front springs as well Phil
    Yes there was a write up in Ride mag back last year and one of the good mods they mentioned as a cheapish handling mod but effective was £80 hagon springs for the front

    The Efi is controlled by a mini on-board computer. It has a "map" which dictates how much fuel is injected depending on a number of factors (e.g. speed, throttle position, engine temperature).

    If anything has been changed (the can, for example), it could ruin the computer's calculations.

    A Honda dealer should be able to check whether your computer has the right map for the set up of the bike and is the most up-to-date one.

    My Tiger was transformed when the map was updated to relfect the race can someone had fitted.

    (Warning: all of the above applies to the Tiger and may be complete rubbish for the Varadero!)
