sorry mate. yeh, mick at rotomotion did the tune. he's good, he's the sort of tuner u have to get stuck into to lean it out a little bit... better than asking him to make it a bit more fat. at least that way u can go beat up on it and u won't kill it if the temps r up or the fuel isn't top notch. btw sorry if my typing sucks im doing it from my xperia!
