I have, and I don't think it will be a critical factor. I can alter the carburettion and ignition timing to allow for any perceived difference, and with the standard cam profiles I don't expect any noticeable difference.barryh wrote:I have no expert knowledge of this but have you considered the influence of stroke/rod ratio on torque characteristics...
I haven't got a set of R100 rods handy to measure, but this mod will lengthen them by only 4.5mm. (Anyone care to give a conrod measurement between centres for an 70.6 stroke engine?)
This is not about topend but about making a smoother bike at the speeds I'm likely to ride it, i.e. mainly legal, so I won't mind if I lose a few hp at the top of the scale.
