It has been fairly hot lately, fuel evaporation could be cause

With another 60 miles under your belt and a 15 front sprocket, I bet your fizz will do over 40 in third, especially if your ring its neck. The Teapot stays in the trophy cabinet for now.

Its pulling fourth ok but just doesnt seem on an initial run at least as much fun as it was. I'm gonna make my mind up after another 50 miles as pherhaps tonight was too short a ride to evaluate.
Top speed has increased where i get a chance to use it but my pipe is designed for a heavier rider with all the grunt in the low to mid range, its not a revy pipe its meant to ease the gaps in the fizzy box which it does nicely but at the expense of outright speed.
So 55 still not found yet, but im sure its in there somewhere if i dare to extend my luck...![]()
Pherhaps its under the teapot

I gave up last time, its a genuine unrestricted two peice later type pipe, but i just cant get it to fit the bike properly. The kickstart hits it, it wont seal at the barrell and it doesnt sit straight on the bike. Pherhaps the pattern downpipe is the culpritAnyway i will try again tonight i can smell victory.

Per sold me a downpipe but I bought it for my ap50 to take a micron exhaust. Have no idea if it's a pattern one or if it's genuine. You could always try him for another? He will let you send it back to him if it's no good.

I recon for short journeys and local blips the 14 is much more fun- maybe a sprocket for the Autumn and Winter months. If you travelling further afield- longer country hacks- stopping for a cool shandy-maybe the 15 is more suitable.
Catch 22![]()
Yup, I recon the Teapot is still up for grabs.
