Re: It lives
That pesky leak would have the potential to upset your A/F readings Dave, not a good thing for an over stressed engine to deal with (and survive)

Re: It lives
Hey Tiny, yep it would have put all of my theoretical jetting out thats for sure. Im going to get it on a dyno and check the A/F before next year and set it up as fat as it will go and still run. I can always lean it out on the lake.

Re: It lives
I usually "lean it out" when exiting the track, ,,
Jokes aside, leave it fat, look for horsepowers elswhere,

Re: It lives
Just got the bike fired up today. Gave it a run on unleaded then a run on Methanol, then a purge on unleaded again. The neighbours must love this time of the year.

Re: It lives
I know what you mean Dave, I had an AV gas lap of the lane, taller gearing needed a bit of clutch & throttle play resulting in 5,000 revs and 100+ db, the return was a feeble attempt of discretion, but the "hunting" translated into slow motion chain snatch, all good, mission accomplished anyhow

Re: It lives
Good news Dave .....
One of the advantages I have here ..... The local Mechanic (two houses down from me) has a Blown Burnout Car ....
The RGV is hardly noticeable compared to that thing .... It's great

Re: It lives
I think it was Dave on the start line had a DB Meter last year. The bike was 112 DB warming up on the line with him standing 1 mtr in front of it. These pipes are a bit quieter, I think becaust of the 1mm material compared t the 0.7mm of my old pipes.
Sounds like we are all on track for next year. 2016 Year of the 250's
