That's what was in the back of my mind, dohhh. And as Alan says I think you're right. I was running 15/43 at Anglesey so I guess it's me not the bike as always. I there this Sunday for some testing so we'll see.

Thanks for the replies.

The 800 has stacks of tourque that's where it's strength is against the SV's

Don't be afraid to get it wide open while leaning .. loves it

Might try and make the wirral round in July

That's probably what I am missing I am not opening it up hard enough early enough. I have a TD on the Coastal this Sunday and then Wirral rd 3 on 4th June so will try opening it leant over.

[bally71]

cant remembner the gearing I ran on my little wheezy 48hp DD bike, but top 2nd out out there, and 3rd thru the rest from there with 4th occasionally between the two rights before the left into the corkscrew..but not as quick as an 800
