Going to pull the trigger, which one do you think I should get? The cost difference isn't much.
FuelX Lite or Pro?
- Thread starter GeoKrpan
- Start date
Fuelx Lite being delivered tomorrow, Sept 4. Ordered Aug 26, 8 days.
I rode yesterday with a guy on an Aprilia Shiver 900. On one stretch of road he got on the gas and said he hit 90mph. I didn't look at my speedometer but I maintained the gap so I must've been going 90 too. Not intimating that the Fuelx will make it faster.
I'm looking forward to the results, namely the smoothness below 6000 rpm.

Pretty easy to install...i cut the earth wire and put a connector in just in case i wanted to connect something else to earth and didn't want more connections straight to battery.
Let us know your thought.

The FuelX arrived yesterday as scheduled.
I had the time to install it. It was very easy, the hardest part being the "fishing".
Before I put the seat back on I started it up to see if I got the green light, I did. I revved the motor to feel the difference and I could tell that something had changed.
I got my motorcycle duds on and took it for a brief test ride.
I can't say that I noticed much of a difference but I wasn't wearing ear plugs like I usually do and felt distracted by the cacophony.
I will take it for a real ride this weekend on tight, twisty roads where low speed throttle response really counts.

Mostly what I noted was the lack of stutter or wanting to stall at low RPM.
I finally got to ride my Vit after I installed the FuelX Lite.
It totally works and I'm totally pleased. I'd ridden it briefly right after I installed it but I really couldn't tell. I wasn't wearing earplugs and that affected me.
It's so much easier/better in the lower gears. It seems to leap away from lights and stop signs in a way that it didn't before. I found myself riding much more confidently and aggressively in traffic. My subconscious was issuing warnings to cool it. It seemed to me that the bike shifted better, especially the 1-2 upshift. I feel more inclined to let it rev in first gear which, of course, will make the shift to 2nd smoother/better. It wasn't pleasant to let it rev in 1st gear previously. I had the same feeling with my CB300R. It needed a FuelX too.
I got a new rear tire yesterday, the reason why I haven't been able to ride. I got a Metzeler Sportec M7 replacing the Sportec M5 after around 3800 miles. It feels like an upgrade to me but then new tires always feel better than old tires, lol.

Glad it worked out for you....the X lite isn't a huge cost but it is a huge improvement in all areas.
I'm assuming u got the front Sportec M7 and that's an improvement over the M5 because it has a harder centre compound for increased life. The M5 rear has this harder centre compound.
I haven't travelled far on my Vit but when the time comes i'll probably be replacing my M5 with the M9.....exactly what difference between the M7 and M9 i'll research beforehand.
I bet u feel like a new man now.....as always, onwards and upwards.
