power increase

Hey quimrider. I did the needle shim. You are correct the power delivery is smooth. Re top speed I still stop at 120 kph 7500 in 5 th gear but there is wind. I did notice that I can get there solidly and faster. I now have good power in the 80-100 kph range regardless of wind or hills. Acceleration is good to 105 kph.

I took the bike for a 200 km ride on saturday cruising 80 - 100 kph avg 90 kph ( 5500-6000 rpm ) . I ran 20 km on ther freeway @ 90-100 k/hr . I got off then ran secondary hwy avg 80-90 k/hr. The big hwy was very busy , windy with lots of big trucks and busses etc. NO FUN !

I will stay with the 120 jet for now.

I can hit 8000 rpm + in 4 th gear ( 105 k/hr )
