has anyone ever run there vfr 400 at total loss system does it work? or is it to much of a pain in the ass? Cheers

theres been a few post on that topic in the last couple months

Not worth it unless racing and even then only its very debatable as to if worth it.

If you want to try before you buy just disconnect the reg/rec and see how much grief it is for you.

I made my nc30 race bike run total loss for the last 2 race meets and my opinion is DONT do it!!

I run a quickshifter and as soon as the voltage drops on the batery the shifter box stops working,
i think for the small gain in bhp you get, it just aint worth it!!
plus you have to top up or carry a spare battery and if like me you have an undertray its a real
pain in the ass.......

Thanks for the replies guys dont think i will bother with the total loss, cheers for the feed back

My mate ran total loss - I think he even went as far as removing the fly wheel - and just had to bump start it everywhere or pop it on charge each day at the end of his rides.
He semed impressed by it
But each to their own I guess

Possibly the loss of the flywheel would be more of an advantage than anything else, I'm going with the GSXR1000 flywheel on our track bike but that is already missing a charging circuit so I'm not losing anything.

Yeah I'll be doing the same soon (with g-force adapter kit). I have the adapter, just holding off sourcing the suzi parts.

Total loss? Each to their own, but I usually have my hands full with any other drama you can mention at the track wothout the need of flat batteries!

I am going to run total loss on my race bike and I already run the gixxer rotor on my road bike.

I'll fit some optimate leads to my race bike and get it on the genny when I stop - simple really.

The gixxer genny makes a decent difference to the pick up so I'll bet total loss makes some more to my race bike.

+1 on the Gixxer stuff from G-force

Its quality stuff and makes my bike feel so much better altoug I don't yet have the dyno proof!!!!!!!!
