Hi Folks,

Most of my threads about S**t running can be finalised here.

Just fitted a K&N filter & a new cover for the air box and my 1125r has turned into a purring kitten. The difference is nothing short of miraculous I kid you not.

Went for about 20 miles this Am to test it out & rode back through Matlock Town at 29mph in third & it was running without feeling like the engine was gonna fall out. It has also smoothed acceleration & it feels like a standard bike again, bit less of an ungainly monster.

Hopefully now I have a decent starting point, I can work through tuning it properly.

Thanks for all the help received & for you all listening to my griping about this.

All the best Paul.

You certainly did.

Pash as well.

Can't thank everyone by name. Just thanks for being a great club

And I do pay attention, I'd be a fool not to. I've only had it five minutes.

I know nothing other than generalities regarding the many bikes I've owned.

Thanks Maz.

Get a nice exhaust and she will move away from 'purring kitten' and more into Angry Tiger ;)

Thanks guys,

I'm well pleased.

Pash & ECU stuff next.

I'm trying very hard to prioritise in a logical process I hope.

Thanks again. Paul
