This again amplifies the signal to the metering rod with a little trade off in mass flow. The 40/38 moved the torque over to the left of the best 36mm Keihin tests, built power sooner and carried it longer past peak than the best 38mm settings. A straight 40mm made more power yet on top, but with a fair trade off on the bottom.

Did I miss the dyno curves? Just asking, because some guys will say that without pictures it never happened
