The sterling/scootrs pipes like to rev out a bit... I always worked to a final drive of 5.3 for those pipes
Your setup will provide 5.2. So pretty much spot on.
Stick with what you have and try it.

Spoke to Harry Barlow at Pro Porting and i'm going to send top end off to him to get it stage 4 tuned , running with Sterling pipe he's recommending using 16/46 with it but i'll double check with him once he's finished with the top end.
Cheers for the replies

Fair enough but I'd still leave it as 5.2

Did a bit of searching on various forums and thought it would be fine, will check with Harry as maybe he couldn't understand my Scottish accent lol
