Thanks a lot mate it was just with my tinkering, he didn't touch the bike apart from putting it in the machine.

He's made me feel a bit deflated tbh and tried selling me a dynojet kit saying its 'way out' ??
you dont need a jet kit :thumbup:
maybe drop your needles a little
Ok bud, would you suggest having the needles the same height? I'll get a couple of thinner washers, something in between what Iv got on.

What do you think to the air/fuel graph at the bottom, would dropping the needles slightly sort the richness up?

dropping the needles will lean it out from 3-7k where your running rich

I would just do the front carb so the rear is slightly richer, or drop them both and use a small shim to richen up the rear a tad. As Hawk has it in his carb set up guide :thumbup:

Nice1 mate, I ordered a cleaning kit today off the Bay, £9.08 delivered. I'll give it a good clean when it arrives ;-)

I did put mine on the dyno after I'd gutted the airbox internals ages back.
It lost .5bhp over a stock one back-to-back dyno runs with short standard stacks fitted.

But since then I've also modded the snorkel, added a spacer, modified some SP1 intake stacks to fit, etc, etc, and so there will be more to come next time it's measured.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.

It's strange how something can make it feel like it's an improvement but when dynoed it shows it to be worse. It's like the K&N's, apparently there is more power from an original filter. I wonder if a placebo effect accounts for something. :lol:

How do those modded stacks sound and feel?

Scott those cans are way too quite. :lol: :)
