Also if he is running a glide with the one gear change, it may respond to higher rpm on the shift. But it is what it is. Good luck. Tom
That's what it is, except I'm running a metric 200, so there's three gears. I'll give it a little less jetting and a little more timing in Q1 and maybe adjust some more from there. Probably bump the timing up even more for Q2.
