Roo's Viffer

Definitely superior in marrying your cousins, superior in psychical defects and definitely superior in lack of intellect

Hey Roo, some good news for you. My 1999 VFR800FiX passed its ULEZ compliance test. It failed the first test (£175 for that) but the mechanic who's an ex BEMSE champion told me he could tune it out. Basically the NOX level was 18, it needed to be 15 and below to pass. He tuned the engine to lean off the mixture during deceleration (when it's not needed anyway). Following the retest the NOX was down to 13 and a pass. Total cost was £290 with the retest and tune. The bike showed up as compliant the next day .
So, just in case you need to get your Viffer tested I can recommend using ULEZ Testing UK. They are based in Stevenage and unlike all the other ULEZ test stations they do not fit a £300 Cat in the exhaust but tune the bike instead. You can also see the bike on the Dyno and have a large flat screen in front of you so you can see the test as it happens with the NOX level readings. Gary is the owner and really helpful even supplying tea and an open tub of free biscuits 👍. There was absolutely no change in the performance of the bike at all. The mighty Viffer lives on👍

Nice work Dave, and emphatically the right decision to not scrap/sell a fine bike because some dickhead in politics has decided to arbitrarily include vehicles that contribute all but nothing to pollution.

Well in Dave, glad you e kept it but a shame you’ve had to fork out all that cash for nothing really, just a load of bureaucratic gumph

Least you’ve kept her mate…….bloody marvellous

Well, ran her up tonight, or tried to.
She’s firing on only two and only on the throttle, the two in the head I’ve swapped at the rear of the lump.

Got sparks at the front two so the wires appear to be fine so thunking about it,  it springs to mind of a fuel starvation to those two pots via the fuel injection.

There are two plugs into the fuel rails  which go to the engine wizardry so I suspect I’ve either not plugged them in properly or somethings a bit tight and the connectors pulled a bit. I’ll probably check tmrw when I have a proper look, to see if the front two plugs are wet  before I start pulling bits off her again first but I suspect it’s a fuel thing. There are no Fi warning lights on the dash so I reckon I’ll check that as my main point of investigation. Small progress never the less and was expecting some degree of niggles after all that’s been done, especially weaving that loom around the engine with zero room for any error, it was a fairly labour intensive affair and not for the faint hearted.
I’ve done something anyway but I’m sure I can track it down with a bit if a look and some biscuits.

He’s maybe only running on half biscuit power at the moment Gareth! 🤣🤣

[Matt_Harrington]

Well, the good news is the head you swapped is working! Apart from couriering over some McVities Gold bars, that is the extent of the help I can be on the Viffer! 

[Laverdaroo]

Ha ha, thanks fella’s, might push the boat out and invest in some ‘thinking man’s’ chocolate Rich Tea’s to aid the process.
