If they reprogram the ECU for a bit more power and faster shifting it may be possiable to have std LP640 reflashed just a thought?

I heard a funny quote the other day, When asked where the idea for the fraud came from Madoff replied "from the way thr Social Security System works"

Must admit when I saw the underside of mt LP640 for the first time I thought they didn't put much effort into the aerodynamics.
They probably did but the open center tunnel maker you wonder.

Sorry for two posts.
In the motorcycle world we have a thing called a yellow box thet can recalibrate the pulses used for the speedo.
This is used when changing chain sprockets that change the final gear ratio thus putting the speedo out.
Just a thought

If I am worried about the speed I use the GPS and not the speedo. At 80 on the speedo my LP640 is doing about 74

Don't have photos but Dave at Premier in L.A. makes the best OEM looking skid plates on the market. I have them on all my cars. Ferrari of OC installs them on all new Ferraris as part of their PDI process. I have them on my Murcie. They wrap all the way around the underside of the lip and follow the contour exactly (which is why they look factory installed). Call Dave at Premier at 310-559-1562. He might have some photos or at least will be able to talk to you about them.
I need these
At least once in every drive I leave about $500 of carbon fiber on the road.
Its a toss up when I see a bump in the road, do I jam on the brakes and risk a rear ender or grit my teeth put my fingers in my ears and hope for the best.

On the bright side you should be able to get a new clutch for just the cost of parts.

this thread is full of terrible advice
If you want to ride straight and park at starbucks, get an 848. Just be prepared to be made fun of for having 3in chicken strips. You're never going to learn how to ride starting on that.
Suzuki SV650 is the best 'starter' bike you could get. If you want to really RIDE, get the SV. The bike is forgiving and easy to ride, yet you will likely never come close to being able to ride the bike on its limit. Not to mention there are a million parts available for it. And they're still FAST
Its not about respecting the speed/power, any super sport bike is extremely unforgiving to a newbie making mistakes. Its NOT the same as a fast car.
As far as ninja 250's go, I know plenty of riders who destroy super sport riders in the mountains on a 250, let alone a 500
This is great advise and you should take it.
I have friends that race bikes and ride SV650s on the road.
Most sport bikes are very focust and unforgiving, learn to ride on a light weight and you will run rings around the average in line four bling machine (just not in a straight line)

I would just like to say thank you to every one who posted pictures.
This has to be my fantasy thread.

Mine have been up since 4-1-07, I closed them for one day, didn't like it & put them back up again. They have never jammed either. Occasionally when detailing I'll cycle them down & get the rear spoiler up to clean under it. Then put them back up. Can't live without that bad ass aggressive look they give when open. Doug also keeps his open too & has no problems.
PROCEEDURE:
Extend the wings with the motor running, when they are at their fully extended position turn off the ignition key, then immediately turn off/disconnect the main battery switch under the rear bonnet.
(You have to turn off the key before the battery, or I think the motor will keep running since while running the car gets voltage from the alternator. If you just turn off the battery, you are only testing the alternators operation).
to reset to their closed position:
cycle the ignition 3 times...on the 3rd cycle depress the wing button and hold it until the wings return to their closed position...sometimes it takes 4 cycles and if you do not cycle the key quick enough you may need to start over
How do you get the rear spoiler to go up ?

If you need more power take it back on a cold damp day put 5lb extra air in the tires and make sure it is is strapped down so the wheels dont spin.
Betcha make 4 or 5 extra HP

The only real way to get flywheel HP is to remove the engine and dyno it.
All rolling roads read wheel HP and a loss calculation (drive train losses) is used to aproximate flywheel HP. They probably dont know how much loss to calculate for the Lambo 4 wheel drive system.
In the real world where you need a gear box and drive shafts wheel HP is what counts.
You could remove your front drive shaft and dump the loss from the diff etc this will decrease the overall loss from engine to rear wheels.
And incase someone chimes in a dyno really tests torque and calculates HP.

Yes but it would be nice if a Lambo dealer could do it and still retain the warrantee.
