I found anything skyward of 7000 rpm was, and still is, a welcome rush of power

Chris I'll send the invoice over for de-restriction. Call it 150 notes.

Too right about your riding technique. You need to know that full throttle in the rain with a dodgy back tyre isn't the best thing for self preservation, even in a straight line! I was happy when you texted me after you'd got home. Us old people do worry.

Take it easy homie.

P.S. I should add that it sounds the nuts too! I was surprised how much of a difference it made.

I noticed the same thing, more volume and more bark. Now annoys older folk on GSXR's with standard exhausts still fitted.

Now did you balance the carbs like you said you would? Good to know you are having a new lease of fun with the SV. Careful with the right hand, the bike will bite you now.

no, not had a chance to balance them yet. though the bike feels sooo much better fueling wise. now those horrible little plates have gone will still do it though, just to be sure.
