Lordy, I wish I knew what that means. But failing that, I'm certain you're onto something. I'd forgotten how sweet are the bass notes of the 800 viffer and how much it sounds like two twins in perfect harmony.
Aaaaahhhhh...
Just a wee quiz; is feathering the viffer 800 clutch the accepted workaround for the on/off snatch-osity in first cog? (And sorry 'bout the hijack but I don't think my question deserves a separate thread.) And what makes that 'donk' noise at the beginning of a throttle blip? Don't remember that from the 750 - something unique to the test bike maybe? Or an injector/cat thing? Enquiring minds and such...
Ta, VM. And cheers.

PS: Didja get to the Ulysses meet, me having already hijacked thread and all?
