Thanks for the replies fellas.
I neglected to say that I already do have Boysen reeds, and a trick looking aluminium intake tube instead of the original rubber one (Boysen product as well?)
Gearing is 13/48 which I find is a good combo for hills and fast fire trails.
Jetting is 155/45 which gives a darkish chocolate coloured plug.
Yeah, when I crack it open on flat ground I get a lot of wheel spin before finally getting traction (sometimes feels a bit like a slipping clutch, except that it's not !)
Also on steep hills I find it hard to lug it with low revs - once those powervalves open up, LOOK OUT!!
I realise flywheel weights won't increase bottom end power; I guess what I'm looking for is a way to redirect some of that power toward the low end of the rev range.
BTW Sage, my manual gives the max compression as 151 psi : how do you get 200 out of it? mill the bottom of the cylinder? If you do this, wouldn't that lower the port timing? and would that increase bottom end response??
