And here was my spending all that cash on cams,pcv and exhaust systems and all I needed was this magic little box .
Sounds to good to be true I'll have to get one asap

I started a new thread for it to see if anyone has more info?

I'm pretty sure it's just fooling the air sensor ?

It can't be sophisticated enough for it's size and where it connects to affect much on the bike .
Snake oil if you ask me but I will follow and see what you find out buddy .

Looks like it to me. Bunch of gizmos like that out there for your good money.

Can be done on the cheap by replacing the NTC thermistor in the IAT.

I know you take ad's with a huge pitch of salt, but 15% more horsepower and torque using 6% less fuel. I'd love to see that done on a good dyno with a stock bike.

The seller and I could both place bets.
Mine would be a large one.

Do I detect some reluctance to accept the makers claims Tony?  :whatever:  Come come now, surely we should give them the benefit of the doubt along with a pocket full of money.    :whistling: :stir:

Maybe they're an escapee from Barnham & Bailey sideshow stalls. :happy1:

Just plug it in a horse's arse and you will be surprised at the power and torque :rofl2:

Certainly won't give you less fuel, likely a bit more.
No need for fooling the O2 sensor on the 14 as it doesn't have one, just another piece of shite in the ad. Tuning the IAT in a bike with O2 sensor is not possible as the ECU will correct the richer A/F.

If you change to less restricted pipes, air sensor tuning might benefit by enriching the A/F. Checking the A/F on dyno is necessary.
