you have made the power band starting lower revs, so your punch is from initial opening throttle, so its not as restricted as before, so you can only tell from the pick up of speed which will be constant, the noise may well be from the sprint filter grunt, it was on the nexus 500

After 3 weeks waiting for "fast & free delivery" of my Hiflo air filter from a clown operation on Eblag they finally refunded, strangely they now list at £99.90 not £9.90
My local Hiflo dealer could not supply one as his supplier does not carry them !! no K&N option so OEM Suzuki @ £30+ it is then
Tried a M&P/Busters one before and they are shite , had to fit it with a hammer even covered with Castrol rubber grease
Both wheels now painted up and fitted, just waiting for the 12 yr old at Fowlers parts to know the difference between a blove box and fuse cover

I feel great sympathy for the 12 year old at Fowlers going up and down warehouse ladders with his oversized brown storemans coat flapping about, peering into dusty parts bins desperately searching for the correct
blove box cover for your 650 Burgman !
that'll explain why he couldn't find it , my fat fingers
unfortunately they don't carry stock even consumables it would appear and yer boys toetectors will last a lifetime as he sits in front of a screen all day

Did a lunch time special again... quickly fitted front clear indicator lenses (I got them from Liam, God bless him
). I will do the back lights when I am doing the tail tidy mod... may be on Saturday.
Still no Dr Pulley
German post is on strike
BTW, anyone has any experience on LED bulbs? rear light and indicator ones...

i fitted led indicators to the nexus 500 you will need a resistor inline or they will flash double speed, not sure if they do a tail tidy led light assembly for yours lad, suppose they do, your normal bulbs are the brightest so id leave them alone,
sorry will have a look, but cant remember if yours is the mk2 or 3
