The bike is back from the dyno shop and running better than it was. It's not perfect and never will be, as Adie, the guy who runs Motohedz bike shop and dynapro dyno, has found both sets of carbs are excessively worn and recommends a new set.
He has toiled for hours with the thing and will probably be dreaming of stripping FZ carbs for the next few nights.
I really have to give a big thanks to him for his efforts. He has given me an extra special level of service.
Also, thanks for the oil! He has given me some new high performance rock oil to try out at the next meeting so I can come back to him with my findings. It is supposed to give a 5% increase in power so I will be running my regular oil for one session and then will change to the rock oil in the next session and see if I can detect a difference. It will be interesting to see the results.
Well, I hope the bike behaves for the trip to Brands. I will be setting up the spare set of carbs as a back up option, should I have any trouble with the current set. I know where I am with the spare set. They give excellent performance high up but are a complete nightmare down low making all the slow stuff a real problem....no good on the start line!
With only tomorrow (Sunday) to get ready for the off, I have quite a bit to do. At least there is no added pressure of a race weekend and just being away for one day makes things a lot simpler.
I'm really looking forward to riding the full GP circuit and finally getting out for a good blast.
It feels like months since the last ride!

Dyno-might ! ?
After being away from home for over a week now, the FZ will hopefully be coming home from the dyno shop in the next couple of days. Early signs are promising although no news on a final bhp figure.
It seems we were miles away on jet size and have dropped from 142.5 down to low 20's or even late teens, which really surprised me. I will be very relieved to see the beast finally sorted on the fueling and happy to get her home in time to do some work over the weekend, before we leave for Brands.
Time will tell...as they say!
