The Veypor vr2

Since I am dedicating a lot of time and effort into this project, the next logical step was to have a some sort of accurate data logging device to see how the motorcycle is running in real time.

The OE speedos are notoriously inaccurate and really tuning monster dog without any data would pose a problem in the long run.

The veypor VR2 is very ideal for someone like me, who has no access to a dyno and had to earlier rely on feel.This way any change made to the setup whether it is jetting, fuels,timing,gearing,tyres,riding posture etc would show up immediately on the veypor.
