The springs were clipped to the correct (updated) length - 4 coils off. As I said in the original post, the mechanic game me back the spring-ends which he'd removed. The throttle is indeed "snappy" when you blip the throttle.
Well, there you go. One idea shot down!
I'm still curious though. When I did mine (did it myself), it really was like getting a new engine, and that's with a slip on kit and standard exhaust. It revs out much harder and although I don't think peak is more than 5-7bhp more, it goes harder and longer from 7000 up. But from 2000 to 7000, it's more linear in response and snappier. It feels like it's alive compared to a standard bike. Ivan talks about 'waking bikes up' and that's exactly what I feel with his kit installed.
I take it you aren't getting that . . .
