just had my bike on the dyno at hammer and tongs, pretty happy with the results. Came out at 101 bhp 8O and a max torque of 64.8. need some work doing tho, the air/mix at a steady 30 and again at 70mph was way to lean, right of the scale infact :o But above 5k revs its perfect :? Think he said the n...

what sort of angle are we looking at for the risers then, cant wait to get it sorted now.

there's a few on ebay ranging from 15 - 30 degrees

I know I'm late on the scene

sounds a daft question but how did you line up the bars to know where to fit the risers? and how close to the edge of the yoke where you? defo like this look, where the risers just standard ones or renthal? sorry so many questions but its my first big bike (started late) so I'm totally green. :oops:...

I converted a std top yoke by adding £20 bar risers [did need a fair bit of machining as I started with the wrong type of clamps] and £25 Renthals. The standard clutch line still works and the aftermarket braided brake hoses I already had on the bike [std goodridge VTR kit] also worked. Need to add...

Been thinking about this since I got the the bike, was even considering a change of bikes to a fazer just for the extra comfort. Where did you get your yoke from and what was the total cost Inc bars.

pair emissions???

its 2002, and the only thing that is digital is the mileometer(is that what its called )

No not really touch anything like that, could water be the cause? I did jet wash it at the weekend.

Could it be the petrol I'm putting in? filled up with tesco momentum the other day.

no, I left the cans on while I drilled the holes.

I did clean the chain and sprockets and removed the front cover to get at the front sprocket, was tough getting back on due to the clutch slave cover. had to bleed the clutch afterwards. but cant see that being the cause.

hi guys, I read a couple of threads on here about removing the baffles, I decided not to go the whole hog straight away and opted for a partial. :lol: So i got out mt drill and proceeded to drill 4x10mm holes in the end of each can, really like the sound now. :D BUT on my first run out this morning ...
