The bike I have is putting out roughly 57bhp, what sort of power are other bikes out there making or is this about what they can make with the tuning allowed??

Any other advise would be great

Cheers
Matt

PS, anyone of to the D&D next week, be good to meet a few of You.


Firstly, welcome aboard, you won't regret it!

If you bought Mr Bates' bike you'd be best advised to fit knobblies!

29psi front and back for me and I used 3 rears and 2 fronts (and ruined a set after only 3 laps by gobbing oil all over them at Pembrey) on my class B but missed 2 meets.

4 full sets would easily do season and if you're any good at eBay you'll get half you're money back.

Would love to say hello at the D&D but I'll be in Cape Verde. Hmmmm, smug mode


It's not the size of the dog in the fight that matters, but the size of the fight in the dog.
