Hiddie hi campers! Sorry for the radion silence folks, have been on site down in the sticks for the past few weeks. As for being ashamed, you're damn right I was - stupid mistake, first lap of that particular session, cold tyres, got on the power and wham! butt! :roll: There's a PPT file on http://w...

My preference would be the Dyno. The EGT analyzer would be good but should be used in tandem with an oxygen analyzer to get best results, and yes the PAIR/evap would probably throw a spanner in the works. With the Dyno printout at least the mechanic will be able to see where the flat spots are and a...

Float heights?? Even if one of em was off it'd cause problems. Have you stripped the carbs??

Yup, getting my new 'shoes' (or should that be 'slippers') Saturday morning hopefully so I'll see you at the circuit. That reminds me, better ring Crossans and make sure they're open early!! Will see you for a pint on Friday night though... drop up later sure for a cuppa.

Errr... I wouldn't exactly call €10 (£6.50 STG) a "hand over fist" payment. I mean, unless you're racing the bike or doing track days on a regular basis, you're going to be changing the filter at best once every 2000 miles or so....

Damn cheapskates!! :wink: :D

PM sent with contact details :D Yeah, if you look closely at the top of the rib it's angled slightly upwards and it looks suspiciously like it's there to split the air flow to the back velocity stack or else to try and cut turbulence in the air box. Maybe, maybe not, but it hasn't improved fook all ...

I tried it - haven't noticed any difference in performance although i haven't had the bike on a dyno since I removed the rib - airbox flow is noisier if anything. I have a feeling that this rib is there to direct some of the flow to the back of the airbox and to the rear velocity stack. Thinking of ...

Stu, just back from Kinsale there at the weekend - it's been a few years since I was there, but I have to say, you have got to head down there for a day or two - maybe before you get the ferry back, stay there the night before - lovely roads from Cork to Kinsale, but it's only about 23km. Some gorge...

Depends on the damage but you can get 2nd hand ones at a steal - like I said, depending on the damage, maybe pick up another and keep your current one for spares.
