I've had teething trouble. Clutch started slipping so I fixed that. Rock hard gunge on the push rod. She's got the 85 mph hesitance. I've just made it worse by adjusting the TPS so I will put that back for now. May buy a smart TRE to see if that helps. Did yours have it?

Mine always felt lumpy around 3000RPM - which I guess must be around 85mph in top? It was just as bad around town in 3rd/4th gear.

I don't have a TRE however mine was cured when I took it to Steve Jordans for a custom remap - he also adjusted the TPS at the same time.

Since then, it has been sweet as a nut (touch wood ) - pulls like a train all the way to the rev limiter , especially in 2nd/3rd gear when exiting roundabouts
