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

- that uses a period Megura throttle and is less than 1/8th turn !!!

)

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.

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.
