Thread: Engine stripping
Post: RE: Engine stripping

Thread: Engine stripping
Post: RE: Engine stripping
| Jo, I'm rather surprised by your remark - "I can think of many people who were cheating (not just top 3 finishers)". Wouldn't a fairly simply answer here be to dyno the bikes. As peak torque represent... |
