If you're talking street legal; Lights, turn signals, horn, license plate bracket with light, and at least one mirror. That is what it would need to pass inspection at my local shop that I have a really good relationship with. Then its the whole DMV circus to get it registered. I opted to keep it track only for now.

Hello! I used the default settings on the EJK because I thought it would be a good starting point for my mods and make adjustments as needed. For me, the default settings made noticeable improvements and feel I do not need to adjust them. I think the default is for an exhaust and air filter. I may make a bold decision to take this on the Colorado BDR July '25 and feel very good that I may have to make changes due to altitude. What do you think?

The ejk do a bypass of the ecu signal trought the injector sothe lambda sensor still working making changes acording presure, temperatura and emissions.

This or Panagale v4? I’m picking either one up later this year. Prefer the SF in grey/ Nero but the Pani in red. Find riding position comfortable on both but I’m sure the Pani would cause pain after a few hours. The heat is something else too which the SF seems to manage better. I wear full motorbike gear and can still feel the pani heat :/
@tebuchenself28822 ай бұрын
I own a 23 V4 pani as well and agree with everything you’ve said. The pani V4 is noticeably hotter immediately and gets a little achy in the knees for me with long distances. The SF is much cooler and more comfortable. The only time I wish I was on the V4 instead of the SF is when it’s really windy or you’re running at high speeds you’re kinda out there like a big wind sail. But both good choices I love both bikes.

Doing the YT thing where you watch and rewatch every video on your new bike. Test rode a Streetfighter V4 and RSV4, back-to-back, and it wasn't close for me. Picked the RSV4 because it was just better for me in every area. Price (5k less), engine felt more powerful but smoother (single digit miles so no full beans), more comfortable ride (seat angle is the SF V4's issue I think), better wind protection and it looks better. Checked out an R1 for the same price but it didn't stir the nethers.

Do some more research before going with upmap. Best option is to find a reputable tuner that has good experience custom tuning these. Then they load one of their already developed custom tune to the ECU and fine tune it for your specific bike, which works out to minimum dyno time. upmap is a bit rubbish in comparison.
