while travelling in spain last year on my gs800 it cut out several times in a 1 km stretch of road,it was very hot and i was low on petrol (no low fuel light)managed to get into a fuel station filled the bike up had a brew and on we went,from then on i filled up at regular intervals to keep the tank...

I think it tricks the ecu into thinking that it is cooler, so the ecu gives a little more fuel,i have not tried one,if you need more power or smoother running maybe a power commander and rolling road tune up,should be somebody on this forum who has tried one of these, or you could say bugger it,and ...

have a great holiday,looking forward to pictures and comments,
