I think what it was...I had to chop my vids with the movie maker...down to like 13 minutes each.You have to upload your "movie" onto the movie maker deal...then take the frames and put em in sequence for the storyboard,then file em.By the time she gets to the YouTube website,and again uploads,it just doesn't come out near as clean.But ya....I noticed the quality will increase some after it's uploaded on there.It just didn't with mine!

My vids are up on Youtube...."bluzxable"...without the parentheses.They didn't come out the way I wanted em to however.Oh well...

Sounds a lot like imovie on my Mac here. You import the footage from the GoPro which is connected via USB to the back of the computer. iMovie creates thumbnails of each 5 sec segment. You can delete or click and drag where you wan stuff to go. It is extremely precise. You can delete 1 frame if you want. There's stuff you can do with bringing music in and a lot of special effects that you can use. One thing I never could figure out how to do is to use a healing brush tool to blur or erase stuff. I tried it by importing to PhotoShop and doing each frame but I couldn't get it out of PS successfully. Oh well. Love to learn how to do that but even the folks at the Mac forum couldn't help me. I want to go crazy with this stuff and make animated graphics and all sorts of cool stuff but there's only time for so much.

Well anyway...with iMovie, you just hit export and select YouTube and it loads you up in about 2x the length the movie runs. Then you're set. I don't recommend Macs 100%. There are some agrivating limitations but after a year I have it about ironed out. Main thing is Macs cost too much unless you are an artist or musician and need Mac creative capabilities.

Saw those. They look a bit more pixualated but great at the smaller size. Mine look a bit grainy at full screen. I usually upload at medium size though. Large takes a very long time.

Yup. I think that confirms it---Two owners and Muzzy himself--no one is saying there is an FI code.
I'm going with Muzzys block off plates. I'll still try to give MiMi a startup with wires pulled from the PAIR if it warms up before I get the plates on there.

Just did some research for busa mods. There is plenty of info supporting the need for a special electrical plug to override the FI warning light if the PAIR is removed from a Gen 2 busa. No relevance to the ZX-14 at all AFAIK but I thought I'd just mention it.

FYI--

IF you are buying block off plates and you like muzzy's because of the billet air box plug, forget it. The plug is too big IMO. It would prolly fit if I forced it but that would also permanently distort the rubber grommet it fits into.

I would just get any block off plates and find some other way to block the air box hole. I used a plastic end cap I picked up at Lowe's. sanded it down a bit and it snapped right in.

Muzzy's

Plastic endcap sanded down to proper diameter compared with Muzzy plug

Endcap in place, inside airbox

Underside of airbox, grommet plugged w endcap
