There is ablue box where there should be a black one... and it comes with a serial interface... Wanna trade? I have the correct black box here...
Altough I'm not sure what the round thing with three zip-ties on it is supposed to be...

, i didnt put it together just showing a look ..i believe the bike may have seen compition at sometime , yes its running a fuel pump , and the blue box is some sort of aftermaket programmable ignition system (i fear electronics and if they had any sense they would fear me back ) it came with discs for setting it up , but unless it breaks itll be left well alone id say ,
...just started to tear it down yesterday for a naked style build (its already a naked but needs a little refeshing )
just a bit of show and tell for you guys thats all ...
will keep you posted

Looks like a low pressure fuel pump, similar to that used on the old VFR750. The VTR can suffer from fuel starvation when ridden hard, especially on the track. A fuel pump is a known fix.
And as you say, you have an aftermarket ECU to control the ignition. What brand is it?

I would imagine this problem would arise with long hard braking, downhill with very little fuel in the tank but really the fuel pump seems like a bit of a **** that the previous owner fitted to look cool.
Maybe he did LOTS of stoppies and the bike was cutting out?
Maybe the theory is, he deliberately passed the fuel lines over the R/R to warm the fuel so it would vaporise more easily.
Maybe...umm, no, I'm out of maybes.

This info is from Revolution Racing in the UK, and as far as I know mainly relates to modified engines. The common mod is CBR600 or VFR750 pumps. The right pressure and same fuel line size as well.
