talking to a mate on sunday who's got an Agusto unit fitted says its a nice bit o kit. Any particular kit stand out,; this one, Variatronic, chiselspeeds? Or are they not particularly worth bothering with. Running an RB22 kit, TMX 35 and NK pipe.

The Chiselspeed one has 16 adjustable settings.

I've got the Chiselspeed one on my Rapido 250 and I'm pleased with it. The fact that it's adjustable means you can play about with the amount of retard without having to keep taking your flywheel off. Well worth the extra money over the Agusto unit in my opinion because if you change your gearing, exhaust etc and that alters the rev range you normally run in you can alter the retard to suit.

got the augusto 6000 fitted to my malossi P2, more to retard the timing enough to stop it pinking at higher revs more than anything. it gives a bit more oomph at lower revs, but it was fitted to keep the motor safe. set at 23 , going back to 13. cheaper than buying a £100 piston.

I've an Agusto 7000 on my 250 and it's been triffic, but Id say get the Chiselspeed one simply because of the variables. Makes sense I spose.
