Well, I made cleethorpes and back with it on, it did seem slightly crisper, I think I may have used slightly less fuel than normal as well, worth fitting it? Jury is still out on that one I Think

........well ordered one last week, arrived today, took 2 mins to fit and my gp with casa 185 does feel crispier and a little more lively up to 1/4 throttle and a tad smoother after that.

it makes the scoot a little better to ride

really need a dyno run before and after, to compare, esp the A/F ratio .... Sean, Dan?

Another piece of advice; when you mount a Spark Magnifier (SM :) ), it is a good idea to change the spark plug, if it is in its end-of-life the SM could finish it faster :)

As for dyno, the guys on the GSF already did some, but it is worth mentioning that the SM usually brings a better "feeling", engine is more "round"; so don't expect more than ~5% power increase (some saw ~10% on some RPM range), but for sure a smoother curve.
Furthermore, you should dyno from very low-RPM if possible because it is more "visible" between idle and mid-rpm...

Cheers,

Emporers new clothes?

Only a back to back dyno run will tell. My money is on no discernable difference.

What if there's no visible difference, but it feels better? :lol:
