Re: boggy !

How big a ram-air was it? I used to run my Imola open mouthed and it was a little rich, I put a big ram-air on expecting it to be even richer and discovered it was actually leaner with the filter (must be something to do with airflow I guess). I like to be on the rich side so just dropped my oil rat...

I put this Indian one on my Li and its as tight as a Virgin (if my memory serves me well, it's been a while since I saw one :frog: ).

If you specced it then there can't be any gripes, have you actually checked what they put in though? I've heard many instances where what was requested wasn't actually put in...

What was your plug telling you?

Re: Reliable commuter.

I'd go along with that, my lad has a GP but needed to commute 25 miles a day, we bought an old T5 for the daily commute (which is also not bad from a fun point of view) and the GP is reserved for weekends or when/if the T5 breaks down.

Re: Engine number

A mate is restoring an un-registered Lammy but the GT engine casing he has, lost its number (all of it) back when the 125 law came in and people were paranoid about getting stopped with "200" written on their engine casing. He is concerned that this may cause problems when having the scoo...

Re: Running in Imola

I cant help you on that one, I have no idea what mine puts out, I'd be suprised if it was as much as 19 though (which is pretty decent with no work on it). On my list of things to do is to get my jetting sorted at JB's so I guess I'll find out then, all I can say is that it is great to ride, loads o...

Sorry, forgot to say that I did run it slightly rich (and still do but not as much).
