I'd be interested to know how you go if you cut down the standard muffler, it's a bit of a spooge tube. Got a TSP head on it last week and and spooge seems to have improved though along with bottom end delivery. For Springs I put a single 0.46 spring in forks and a 5.5 shock spring for my 92kg race weight. I might drop the oil level a little next time it's due for an oil change. This is for a GP300. Enjoy the new ride!!

My 2013 spooged like a trooper until I cut her back too. If I'm really lucky I might be able to bolt it straight onto the new one, but don't like my odds.

I'm probably similar weight when I'm fully geared up. Come in around 75kgs in my jocks, give or take a few.

Will have a look at the axle offset on the GG fork lugs and compare to the Yamaha ones on my old girl. Might even just bolt the old forks straight up and do some back to back testing between my revalved set and the stock Gassers.

I've found getting the head cut is the best bang for buck you get on these engines. Makes everything else fall into place.
