Kev mod

Don't know if anyone else has seen the post on Facebook xt owners group, according to some on there the Kev mod is "as much use as an empty coke can"
& makes no difference to the bike. Mine makes a massive difference, someone needs to put them straight

Did my best, but I'm not techy, I just know it works. Looking again it looks like a personal thing between a couple of people.

I think there was another thread on it a fair while ago, Kev ended up refunding the guy I believe. Obviously this may be a different thing, dunno as I don't do facebook.

Put it this way, I know you are only reporting what you picked up on fbook, but knowing Kev, and knowing how much research he has put in the production of his mods, if someone would say that to me I would take it as an offence.

Kev is qualified mechanic with a 35+ year experience in the motor industry, he is a head foreman in a large Australian VW authorized workshop, he has taken specialized courses on engine technology that are almost as close in difficulty as studies for brain surgeons and cancer research labs.

What he doesn't know about engines tuning and computerized engine appliances such as ECU's it's not worth knowing.

Whoever said that must be someone with very little knowledge and more bark than bite.

We tend to ignore them because we have had a successful satisfaction rate with anyone who has fitted this mod and I would not have thes mods sold and sponsored in this forum if I did not belive 100% in Kev's skill and workmanship.

Take no notice.

This kind of thing sums up all that's bad about facebook (and why I no longer a use it): The negative stuff far outweighs the positive these days. I wouldn't get involved, as that's exactly what they want!

All that matters is you(we) know you're(we're) right... ...because the Kev Mod works!



def. face-b!tching (v.)

When people get on facebook and start b!itching and moaning about something, or someone, knowing full well that their post(s) will either start a fight or a new round of DRAMA.

Dude, did you see X's post on facebook tearing in to Y?

Yeah, I'm tired of his face-b!tching.


urbandictionary.com


I can't believe "b!tch" is a profanity on here? Probably just as well - being a b!tch-free zone.

Another good reason for avoiding Facebook.

I suppose all the Dyno results & test equipment I use are all wrong then, there was no guess work testing the fuel mod it does work, I can prove 100% the fuel mod does adjust the A/F ratio & the mod has been tested on Dyno's by many other riders from different countries around the world. It is a very basic fuel mod & has been around for years & I have always disclosed this, to say the mod is an empty coke tin is unfounded.

I forgot to add out of the hundreds of fuel mods that I have sold over the past 7 years + the ones that members have made for them selves, in all this time I have only ever given one person back his money & that was only a month or two back.
