fairy tales NKLR
It is good to question some claims to keep the list honest.
I did not witness any dyno test but have seen Bryan's A14
CONSISTANTLY PULL AWAY from my A14 the whole season as if I was
riding two up or had a whole birch stuck on my skid plate.
I was totaly stock and with Kendas 270 and later Kendas 760, he
always has Maxxis 6006. Both our bikes have 14T prockets.
On pavement,gravel or dirt when my A14 run out of steam his keept
pulling forever. (and that drove me $%^&* nuts!!! ) I am too lazy to
extrapilate HP from how much further and faster he pulls, but I can
tell you that the improvement is Significant.... very significant....
maybe 15 metres over 200 metres significant.
So, having experienced the results of the changes he made to his KLR,
I am selflessly willing to offer my A14 to replicate the
results.....
