Hi,
My name is Dan, and as the title suggests i am from Harrogate, North Yorkshire.
I'm 41 now, and started riding motorcycles as a kid (dog box, AR50, ZR50, RG125 etc). I then worked in the motorcycle clothing industry running stores (Peterborough & Doncaster) for Hein Gericke back in 1997-2000.
Since then i have been a 2-stroke tuner and dyno operator, working exclusively on Lambretta and Vespa scooters. As well as riding and racing them. I also run the UKs No1 Classic Scooter Forum. www.scooterotica.co.uk
I haven't owned a motorcycle for 15 years, and the last bike i owned was a FZR400, and a Kawasaki KR1 250 before that. And now i find myself back on the bike scene, a proud owner of an FZ6N S2.
I've been reading lots of topics on here since owning it, and found the forum very useful. The bike already had a Beowulf system and belly pan on it when i got it, and I've added a Puig screen, black mirrors and 17tooth front sprocket since. Love the bike, really happy with it.
Just been to Cornwall on it this weekend with my pals, did a 700 mile trip in 2 days.
My only slight criticism/wish is that i'd really like it to have a bit more torque in the low/mid range......it really has to rev to go! I appreciate its a short-stroke motor, but still.......very interested to learn about potential ignition/fuel re-mapping mods which may offer better lo/mid range, i can of course test these on my dyno if needs be. So anyone who can help with info......please respond.
