on methanol. four times the fuel for twice the power of petrol... run it on 70 octane petrol and get 20hp... from a fourstroker... thats my point. yamaha and zuki chose twostrokes because that power level (on petrol, not methanol) is easier to achieve. fourstrokes, youre already fighting an uphill battle.
oh yeah... cvt losses. nasty. worst transmissions ever devised.
and then... was that piped and manifolded to the best or just the initial trials? cus yes, if it wasnt tuned in as well as it eventually will be... its like my 160cc lawnmower can only make 3 while my nsr 150 will pull 40... despite being smaller. ones tuned to do that. one isnt.
