i think the bikes with a PC3 have a better instant throttle response.

madkaws zx10r is a lot snappier instantly and so is Tinnie's crim. they have PC's and mine doesnt.

i found Gos's 12 has a verry snappy throttle and his also has a pc. :?

Thanks folks. Did a couple of laps of the Kellyville Raceway on the weekend and I think it just needs a big handful because it's a six.

Its got the patented Wasteland Throttle Insert......about 1/5th turn ?? Costs SFA and takes 10 minutes to fit....

(but its *nothing* as quick as the throttle on the hybrid P5 racer :shock: - that uses a period Megura throttle and is less than 1/8th turn !!! :lol: :lol: :shock: )

:kuda:

Hey Glenno, I know whats wrong - its jetted for altitude ;) ;) Thats why its so sluggish.

Also try some of Gos's special avgas, that is sure to fix it. :kuda:

Nah that can't be it Phil. It goes the same at the top of the hill or the bottom......

I might take it to a bike shop and get them to implant the torque curve from a ZRX. Just gotta find out where it goes.

I think I might also need one of the "Gosmaster 3000" throttle inserts though.
