Hi,

I did a spot of cleanup on the bike yesterday (Brasso-ing the crap out of the downpipe, and a proper clean-up of the chain+greasing) and this morning the bike felt much smoother in accelerations, but also like it's a bit less powerful?
I'm a fairly new rider so maybe I'm missing something here.. I really don't know. Anyone have ideas on what this might be?

Oh and this is an '02 33bhp restricted curvy (using washers) if that helps at all.

Thanks!

lambda.
