'The Fang' on carbs and petrol

As part of our testing this year, the supercharger has been removed and the bike converted to run on petrol. Here is the final setup session on the Tim Blakemore Racing Dynojet dyno in Bristol where the bike produced 40.3hp . This is with the standard 8.5:1 pistons and using Kawasaki ER5 carbs. Note how smooth the bike is with the 60 degree crank; very little vibration except at tickover. For more info search for 'The Fang' on the web.
