correct me if I'm wrong, but that sounds like one of the few parts that you can't make, beg, borrow or steal from another vehicle Crying or Very sad

Sounds like you ought to be emailing Bimota themselves.

Why, can't you read Italian?
Seriously, Except for some of their prices, they seem pretty good these days and let's face it, the occasional part just can't be begged, stolen, borrowed or more importantly made.
I've always struggled making rubber bit's and pieces but everything else I manage Wink

I've got a big tub of pins here with your name on them Laughing

P.S. A picture of said bit might help

Thats quite a drop in both hp and torque.
You say youve changed the way the air gets to the airbox?
My guess is...... it aint pressurizing the air box enough now

Hi

That is a hell of a drop in power and torque. Would be interested to see the power graphs to see where it has disappeared. Given that the torque appears to have dropped more than the power I would guess that it is managing to rev out a bit further to compensate for some of the loss of torque.

I would expect some drop over the years though.

All the best
