.......................................................bike o clock mokin


Straight off massive difference with the smoothness or rather eagerness of the throttle


roundabouts in 2nd gear are no longer a kamikaze bucking bronco surge fest


definitely gained a chunk of low down and a chunk of mid range grunt....i could hear the difference via the K&N induction roar...much much better so fat and guttural


if anything i would say that the top end rush is a bit less......could be that the transition is just so much smoother but i'm just calling it as i see it and i'm not convinced that the speedo speeds top-endy were as high as they might have been before but i don't really care about that...it is probably marginal and then extra smoothness and grunt I've gained are well worth it.


big thank to Brooker for giving us the map for free....good egg :thumbup .....id love to have a dyno run now to see where it is at


considering i got used to the thing with mods and no power commander which likely would have done damage eventually and i had just got used to the throttle in the end for thinking it was good because it got better after i blocked the AIS but now it is in another world.


I started off about 1920hrs and filled up so i can compare mileage to a tank. Then i planned on getting Nick some evening sun pictures of the route that i had planned albeit in reverse so i headed off towards Newgale beach......except i ended up behind another young guy on a GSXR, not sure if it was 600 or a 750 but was 2 tone with silver...i think silver and black....anyway i kept my distance from him until he clocked me and then he decided to be mr silly overtaker to get away from me which i dont do...if anything im a bit too cautious sometimes. I soon caught up with him and it was clear he wasnt the best on the corners....cocky enough but was apexing far too early....passed Newgale & Solva and seen my chance to skin him so off i went until we soon got to St.Davids...then took the St.Davids to Fishguard road with some lovely twisties and soon had him out of sight so i slowed up a tad to let him catch up & he wasnt....edit...yes he was.... that far behind and so we played tag until fishguard with me letting him pass me on a big straight where he predictably gunned it.


Doffed our caps and flicked our canes before he peeled off into fishguard after waving at all his mates along the way......"wave away loser" :lol
That's what biking is about for me...thoroughly enjoyable...never seem to get any sport...usually with bloody cars....neither of us were shit hot but it was fun & if it wasn't for his sill overtaking would have been even better....i was buzzing.


stopped off for some delicious fish and chips at "Somethings Cooking" in letterston and texted my missus a photo of them to piss her off after lumping me with so many chores during the day.


afraid that's the only pic i managed to take Nick :\ :\ :\


edit - i did copy and paste the map table into a pc5 map that i deleted the values from.
