My internet and phone lines are down due to some idiot ripping up 50meters of cable while hedge trimming. Just got mot so will be able to do more runs. I suspect i have a timing issue but had better chk revs as think its only revving to about 3 or 4 thous. Mine sits at 55 open throttle to drown out any peace and also very little extra forward motion

Kev I did a 40 mile run last night and to be honest I did not go much over 60mph anyway as I am trying to be careful while running in the engine and getting things settled. Yes first and second are very nice and good acceleration I then get to the speed I want in third and slip into fourth, thus this suits my driving style at present. I think you have to be very committed to a full bore run to get the best from fourth gear anyway.
I think you also have to remember this is not a modern high reving stroker but a gentlemens tourer really, I must admit if you give mine a big handfull in fourth it makes more noise than does anything else lol but I think my motor is still quite tight and has no run in yet.
I am out again Saturday and will give it a bit more stick to see what it does.
