I took the mercury grey to swinton mototcycles today for a dyno in preperation for the mods to the bike i have planned.
Thanks to ashley very helpfull and friendly
The falco had the origional cans fitted and air box... 108.61 Bhp was established and 69.54 of tourque in standard form
I came back and after thawing out fitted the 54mm throttle bodies and the renegade air box.
The bike started straight away and apart from altering the tick over screw every thing is fine...

I decided to take the bike for a quick spin and wow what a difference.
The bike pulled like a train and the induction noise was awsome.
The mods will continue but has the bits become available

when you going to paint it black?

Why spend money on performance and then cripple it by painting it the slow colour?

Exactly - and yours has been undercoated ready for the crow black

Pete, you know very well that black is the undercoat. Aprilia let it show through in certain areas on the Olympic Bronze, Flamingo Red and Oasis Green bikes.

Bike has a bronze mudguard and a black seat cowl.
Wheelies fine.
Your argument is invalid.

Fit some 54s john the bike front end was extremely light on the front end under hard excelleration in the first four gears
I might have to fit a steering damper

Should be stable enough on the stock wheels. Change the gearing to 15/42, makes it even more fun

I need more power like I need to be upside down in someone's hedge. Again.

Well ladies and gentlemen it would seem that mr plod has a mobile camera on the same road has swinton motorcycles....
Having just got home i have an intended notice of prosecution that was waiting for me.

fcuk

Bummer! At least yours isnt a black one... wouldve been a lot worse..

nah

we are too quick for them.....

bad luck jay

I hope they haven't copped you exploring the difference between 51 and 54mm........

Hmmm ..... perhaps every set of 54mm TBs should be delivered with one of these in the pack ....

Thanks andy i like a joke

I am not sure if i should point this out but the 54s were not fitted when i was clocked.... Bike was completely standard, But insurance company has been notified of changes since 54s have been fitted
I am not after sympathy has it was my fault for not paying attention and it was a 30 limit
Having saying that thankyou everybody for not judging me but i am always willing to put my hand up and admit when i am wrong and in a strange way i am not angry at all with what i have recieved in punishment
The camera signs on the way to the dyno run were there warning, I just think the sound of a V twin having its balls being rung on the dyno made me a bit giddy for a moment
