I think it's at the flywheel,
Won't be using it for a while as the clutch actuator rod broke (the bit that goes into the clutch housing and connects the cable- tried welding it up but it only lasted about 15 miles(just got it back home!)It's the second one that has gone might have to change the bit it operates in the clutch as well give me something to do over the winter so never mind the bit only costs about £20 so not all bad!

That's not bad, they only claimed 138bhp for the engine when they were new so you are well up there.





yours, Pete

I went into the RSPCA office the other day. It was so small you could hardly swing a cat in there.

I thought they were 128bhp as standard?
Was talking to a zx9r owner (while mine was on the rollers and was told mine was more powerful by 1.9bhp more than his!
he reckons before he dynojetted it-it was 130
