Real good stuff, John - what sort of revs are you comfortable with on the top end with that engine, I mean does it make usable power at 8,5000.... more? Just curious with that gearing!

thanks guys! :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: (sorry, I hit the wrong emecon)

And with those pipes, power peak is right around 8500, with a bit of over rev. Tach is not accurate at all.

I actually don't know what I'm revving to until I see a vid, the track is too short to actually look. I just shift by the engine sound/pull.

With these pipes there is a very flat torque peak, so I can short shift and still be in the meat of the power.

Man that looks like a blast. Your bike has a decent power band for sure. One day I'll try that, but I would like to start out against mopeds..... ;)
