Well it's a 2 stroke 125, so won't have much power low down. Most of it comes in after 7krpm Smile

If you want to pull away faster, rev higher and use more clutch. (ie. let it slip a bit more while revving high). Thumbs Up

I dunno if I ever even used <4k rpm on my nsr Shocked

. The usual technique for pulling away is redline it, then slip the clutch until you have to change up Smile

Listen to G - he's not the Voice Of Reason fr nothing!

Seriously tho - there is nothing below 4k. I always used to use 5k+ for town pootling, but the 'power' doesn't come in until 7.5k.

Check that the little rubber gromet on the airbox intake is still there, it sounds like you're describing what mine & zim's were like when we briefly removed them (don't bother, by the way, it just makes them louder and does nothing for power).
