My point was to change the state of tune by dumping the EPA crap, inlet & exhaust correctly balanced with each other & then taking advantage of the extra P&T that this releases by a minor alteration in final ratio. I wouldn't even consider going up to 18. Mine has been clocked, by others, in excess of 115 in std. tune on the motorway. When I'm finished, I expect to happily exceed 125 without any difficulty. Whatever I do, it will not be at the expense of acceleration. I wasn't insulting you TBA riders but the lower ratio makes a hell of a difference to acceleration. One which does not seem to sit well with other owners I've spoken to. Like I said, we all have our own different riding styles. Perhaps we Brits are just harder riders, eh? Now can we please get back to the belts?
