yeah, i could be anywhere between 35 to 55 on the flat before i did any tweaking, but most of the time in the lower regions.... only another 16 kg here
temperemental? yes. right time of day when the humidity is just right, she would scream, then a few hours later? hmmph. the sort of times you wish you had spent some time setting up the derailleur properly... cant do much in granny gear.
interesting that with the now much leaner settings, its less grumpy, and in fact, sorta prefers the heat... i shall see as the days get longer i suppose, if it stays that way...
80 on a pushie.... nah, ill wait til i get my license back to do 80+ again
one last thing while i think of it.
indexing spark plugs. ideally, the open side of the gap should face the exhaust port. i have no idea why, but its one of those things that can make a marginal difference, and is far more noticeable as the cylinder size increases. i noticed my head was on 180 degrees out.
shame i always have to make three or four tweaks at a time so i can never really point at one thing alone.
