We just started getting some information from Trusty and that 300 euro mark looks like suggested consumer retail, ouch.

surely for most riders the dual mappping switch (although slight) is enough to get a bit more spunk out of the bike when needed, would think the adjustable pv cover would be more for serious racers - my 2c anyway

The left drum valve acts on a spring that is preloaded by the adjustment knob in either the + or - direction (force). So, the total force the governer must overcome to move and open the valves is that of the governer spring plus the PV cover spring, which effectively either adds to the resistance (slower opening) or subtracts and assists opening(faster). Clever, just too much $$ IMO.

if i could somehow get my hands on one, i could make a cnc program for it, with some difference for obvious legal reasons the parts involved would be significantly cheaper than $600 usd, and the program would be compatible with most 3+ axis cnc machines. i already have a pv cover drawn up, but i need to take measurements from the rest of the parts, and actually see how it interacts with the valve.
ive read that ktm offers one for their bikes, a gg peice could probably be engineered from one of those, assuming the pv is similar... but along what swazi was saying, wouldnt it be a pain in the ass to change while riding, would a handle mounted choke adjuster be enough to move the knob perhaps?

It would be a pain to change while riding but still useful to change when stationary. When you get to an event you could make a decision on where you want it set according to conditions. At the moment it's not adjustable at all. On European timecard enduros there are plenty of opportunities to adjust during an event - at checks or before a special test. I think a handlebar adjuster is not worth the added complication - something else to make room for or break. But that's just opinion.

a bit of a hijack, but i was also looking at the larger volume PV cover and a bit surprised at the cost. Firstly does it make a huge difference, and are the actual dimensions critical, was thinking of getting a machinist here to make a spacer piece about 5mm thick that would go between the engine and the original pv cover, should work out a lot cheaper ... any thoughts welcome

thanks guys, i think half my problem is i am still in kx mode where i was costantly trying to get more torque for the bike. when i think about it the gg300 has plenty and if i need more i can just gear down on sprocketing, but so far i am v v happy
