Results:
Great torquey power, can lug around a gear high without a problem, rolls on smoothly into a very strong mid and top end. Wheelie machine in 2nd and 3rd just rolling on and will easily bounce up in 4th.
I usually don't like the N3xx needles due to the explosive transition onto the pipe, but this setup is smooth as butter and very very predictable.
The ride was 90% twin trail/firetrail with lots of power sapping sand, some deep some not so deep. The bike had no trouble pulling onto the pipe and didn't feel lean at all.
Nitpicking - it was rich just off idle and at 1/8 throttle causing an annoying burble and some 4 stroking at low throttle openings. The idle is a bit lower then I'd like.
As today was pretty much all large throttle openings I reckon the burbling may get annoying in single when I'm using that low rev range a lot. We'll see.
Fuel economy was great - 7.5l used for 92ks = 8.2l per 100k's.
