[GRNINJA]

I am sure you wasn't born out of wedlock

[HammyUK]

ooooh that tickles

Yes you picture-whore  , the Y pipe just replaces the cat section.  Nice bike, fit some Nissin calipers and it'll be nicer.  Look at the bottom picture and you'll see what I mean about the cat going brown, it's clearly made of a different metal.  Did the Maxton fork conversion make much difference?   Richard told me it was really only needed on the track, but he's done a few for the road, even the 25mm cartridge conversion.

i have the gp internels and gp race rear shock and they are better the wp by miles

What make them better than WP mate? Do you run 25mm internals on the road, do you ever track it?

[HammyUK]

Don't agree, maxton are are par with k-tech and are just too harsh for the road. Even k-tech admit that but will take your money anyway.
Gone over to WP and the difference is out of this world. Far better tracking on the road, softer front end that doesn't break your wrists on bumps yet still lets me know what everything is doing. The rear is the same, soft over the bumps yet exactly where i need it when it matters.
I had the k-tech on there round the ring in the summer and it was superb, at over 80mph. Below that and back here it is crippling. WP and I can ride all day without grief. Mind you I do have the full cartridge internals and the full race shock.

i dont do tracks only road and maybe its just me but im sticking with maxton from now on, i feel everything as im riding now and i feel safe with is what  its all about

[HammyUK]

A lot depends on you - personal prefference and also how much you weigh!
I get an automatic horsepower on that one

Im never sure about tuners dyno's, they always want to show a good result after any work, not only that you have nothing to compare with.

I like Dyno shoot outs, same dyno, no biased tester (who would normally be the tuner validating his own work) to influence reading or frigging correction factors, purely a run, same ambient conditions only difference being the bikes. I've been to a few where folks go on about how a tuner previously had some amazing figure, then it goes onto the dyno shows a whole load less than they expected. They claim its the maybe dyno or ambient conditions, then someone with a fairly standard bike makes more or similar power.

I enjoyed the last one I took mine on, my 05 10R made the same as a K6 tho with similar mods and just pipped a stock ZX12R  making a genuine 160bhp at the wheel on a hot 28c sunny day.

Bang on Tuck and when people quote decimal places for BHP outputs cracks me up

no need to be personal
does the 177 in yours stand for your readout jon?

Nothing personal Hammy, just saying how it is mate. I'm of the same opinion as Tuck thats all.

I have no idea what mine makes but its got all the right bits and its pretty quick so its all good.

I was there the day mine was run up along with wiz's and a load of race bikes. RJS at mallory.
I know I quoted the .?? but the question was asked so I answered honestly.
I've seen a lot of bikes with *** "at the Wheel" and been passed by ones that I ain't got a clue about as I couldn't catch them! Not since I've had the 10 mind
The only real answer is to ride it and if scares the shit out of you its got enough
