And the benefit of top-sprayers is (other than looking like sex on a stick):

concensus is that they just drink more petrol with a standard falco engine. 54mm is the best big throttle bodies for a falco....

for mille engines you would need a lot of other toys for them to work well

BUT - excuse me, just need to poip to the little boys room - any one got any kleenex??


Let's face it, you wouldn't go to a nurse to get good advice on a problem with a Falco - you'd choose an Engineer or a mechanic...

Does that mean you've already used up your normal supply?

Thats just orgasmic and I automatically added it to my watch list for drunken bidding later on.

Then noticed it was the pre-04 inferior engines :smt009

That all of the Superior riders use. :smt021
I'm right 98% of the time so why worry about the other 3%?

So unless your butterflies are fully open pretty much all of the time, they're not a lot of use at all.
