I am very,very happy with it.Philthy,we concentrated alot on the bottom end,to try and get it to pull smoothly from the lower revs.Felix,you are welcoem to a go.Just need to bung that rear brake caliper on it,when you've finished!Mr R.,standard SP5 except Spaghetti,lightened flywheel and power commander.

Rich,

Well done mate. You must be pleased after all the hard work. Looks good indeed.

Rgds, Rob

[851neil]

nice curves - hope mines as healthy and doesn't pop...
btw would you advise any running in period for what will effectively be a new motor or just go for it ???

[Rob B]

Just threw mine straight on the dyno, what about you, Rich?

[Jasper]

Unlike Neils,mine wasn't a new motor.So,just warmed her up and on she went!

[twpd]

That is a superb torque curve - textbook even.

[Jasper]

I videoed the top gear run,but don't know how to post a video.

[Jools]

Hmmmm, nice, on the strength of that I'll buy you a beer when we get to the 888 meet up at Nelly's.





And while we're down the pub I'll bribe Nelly to swap your motor into my bike.

[Jasper]

Your all heart,Jools.

Would you believe it.Went out to the garage,with a view to riding the bike today.Two pools of oil under each fork leg.Both fork seals have gone!!They were weaping a little before the dyno run,but that seems to have pushed them a little too far.Ordered some seals from JHP,.now going to strip the forks down!!
