    Consider the rev range as a % before you compare a Blade to a 675 (or any other trriple or twin). Triples and twins feel torquey at low revs because they don't rev very high, but a four has more torque in the same % of the rev range, it's just that that rev range is higher.

    actually think we figured the problem out the throttle grip was spinning on the throttle tube ever so slightly and at a certain point with loose hands the throttle was shutting itself wasn't glued properly from new F**K sake lol

    roll on some renthals and some lockwire cant believe something so simple caused so much mayhem lol don't think I'll ever run a bike without lockwire on the grips even from new from now on lol


    an the 675 revs slightly higher than the blade :p


    can't wait to get the new and improved blade back together going to be some bike cant decide for the life of me what shock pretty sure its going to be k-tech forks :)

    Thanks,

    Tom

    can actually see the flat spot in the power on here :)

    Proportions again though - comparing a smaller engine (675) to a larger engine (1000).
