KTM 990/950 Adv thread

So, what I should have written in reply to Eddie about my increased fuel economy when I fitted my 2 into 1........................

I have no bloody idea.

Bastard!, you almost had me convinced you knew what you were talking about.

Geeze Eddie, you're the first guy to ever be interested in anything I ever mentioned on KB!!!

I'll join the masses now and show no interest in your future posts.

Oh, silly,silly me

I think my analysis of the free flow effect of exhaust changes on fuel consumption are just a little flawed( I will get in before someone 'pedantic' does!)......my beliefs are based more on the 2 stroke system that will be more strongly affected by freeing up the exhaust than will a 4 stroke. The degree of which a 4 stroke will be affected will be determined by valve overlap I guess and this is not an area I can comment on re 990 motors.

The use of the quotation marks on the word pedantic is incorrect.
The context suggest that the quotation marks are being used incorrectly for emphasis, however the situation indicated in the text incorrectly indicates an ironic usage - as if the person in question (in this case me) would actually not be pedantic when pointing out your error. In actual fact, that person would be a pedantic bastard of the highest order by pointing out this error.
