No, just the edge. TBH I haven't ridden it for a while, but I am sure the it aint right

Beyond 5.5 its ok, still a tad flat I think. But in that 32.-5.5 zone, if you're on a constant throttle, the mota is hunting. Then when you gas-up, the mota has to clear it throat before pulling! Does that make sense?

I live/work in London and take my bikes half the length of the country to Nelly at Cornerspeed. Costs a fortune in petrol but it's worth every penny.

Sorry you had to find out the hard way.

ps: Ask Ray if he ever ran an outfit in Crediton in Devon. Be interested to know if it's the same bloke...

You said your motor has to clear its throat before it pulls. Mine was sat for 5 years and I've got a little of that myself, but I think a little attention to the carbs should sort it. il get round to it one day, but for now it's easy to live with. Went out Sunday and managed to smash the national speed limit , so she can't be far off the mark .
Good luck with yours and keep us posted.Regards, Woody.

I saw 120 a couple of times (120 what, M'Lud, I'm not saying!). It wasn't pulling as hard as I thought it might? It was pretty wet on the road that was best suited to letting her run on, but the conditions weren't entirely right!

The saga continues!

The bike went back to Rosso Corse on Wednesday cause its spluttering between 3200-5500rpm.

Collected the bike last night. It ran so well that I took it back first thing this morning after putting some Pro-FST in it (to make sure its not carb-icing thats causing the trouble) and told him without getting too Grrrr that I want it fixed proppa!

I cant believe the man. He has given me a list of stuff that 'needs doing'. He wants to start sorting other stuff out, when he's phucked up a bike that was running sweet-as-a-nut before his partner 'fixed' it!
