Wel interesting results. With a stock front header pipe, Arrow Decat and MHP link pipes and end can...K&N filter and ECU remap 72bhp bang on the nose!. Better top end punch than the SV..slightly less initial torque than the SV.

So looks like a really good contender!

So what mystical changes have they made to the engine internals Sarah? I hear it had a heavier fly wheel and that's about it.

Is it at the back wheel, & if so, what changes to the gearing ?

Yes at rear wheel. You cant measure crank BHP on anything other than an engine dyno. Gearing is different yes but that doesnt affect BHP or the power curve.

The motor is totally different. It has closed deck barrells which are nicosil plated instead of iron liners. Lightened and balanced crank relative to the one in the SV. Crankcases are slightly different. Pistons and rods are lighter so it revs quicker. Injectors and throttle bodies are different plus lots of other little bits and bobs.
