Another 200km done last night and I'll post here before I forget.
The revs seems to be limited per gear. Car manufacturers do this also. So for example right left sweepers. Driving out the right on exit then turn left the revs rise faster when the bike flicks to left side of the tyre. So say you exit driving through 7-8k rpm, when the bike tips onto the edge of the tyre the revs rise abruptly. Sometimes for a second it runs off the end of the rev range and sits on the soft limiter for a split second. Checking back app data . In 2nd its 9409rpm. But in faster corners, same situation, but 4th gear it sits on the limiter at 8890. I find this stuff interesting. Gallardo does this also where it allows higer rpm in 2nd & 3rd then lowers limit in 4th 5th etc to reduce time at risk.
Experimented again with fuel. Maybe its spain. Been soley uisning Repsol. But the difference between 95 and 98 is noticeable. 95 can pretty much ride the bike full gas in any gear on exit. 98 feels more like the real bike where I'll move and you can enjoy it. It'd be interesting to dyno this. Its maybe 5 bhp different I'd say. For sure you can feel it. Especially in 2nd and 3rd.
Motor now feels strong and loose. Willing to rev freely but no flat spots or lags in power. 120kph in 4th. 7000rpm and go full gas and its actually impressive. Instant power. For a 1000cc Twin this is what I keep going on about. The boxer. The SP1 motor. The 990 Supduke motor. None of them had this semi I4 type higher rev pull.
Tyres. It'll need tyres soon. I like these standard tyres. The front is the weak point. You have to ride with consideration for it. Real progressive tun in and loading. The odd time if you change direction it feels vague and you have to kinds pause, wait for it to settle before you can keep turning. Unsure how much of this is a 19" wheel and how much is the tyre.
But interestingly last night the rear felt better. Bit more grip. It seems that there are blocks in between the main blocks on these tyres. When it hits them there is more rubber on the road and it grips a bit better. First time I've experienced this. A tyre that improves as it wears
Someone recommended Continental Trail Attack 3. I think maybe those will help. A big thing for me is not to give the bike too much grip and then create chassis issues. I just want the front to be a little better. But ideally I'd liek the rear to have a little less grip to allow more fun.
See what i mean about the "joining block". Essentially puts more rubber on the ground and makes the tyre better!
This world of Guzzi is a weird place , but absolutely loving it.
