1.1 bar is for girls...

I believe that standard is about 0.7 so you are already up on that. If you get to to 1.3 you will hit the fuel cut out. Thats fun - NOT.

full cut on earlier classic was around 1.2bar so would think full cut is defo the problem... a dawes device is the quickest option....

Do you know anyone whose got one then?

Actually, the dawes device doesn't bypass the fuel cut. I should know

If you wanna go past 1.2 then you need a remap (like the rest of us)

If you like a smoother delivery of power then then go for a remap, if you want a more definite BOOST then go for the Dawes device.

I've had both and gotta say that the Dawes Device was great fun. differnce between the 2 is about £400

boost solenoid is on the left hand suspension turret, it's a cylindrical object about 30mm diameter, 50mm high, get some clutch cleaner spray, take off the hose and spray some into the hose, replace and run engine, it may run like crap for a while until it clears. Cheaper than to buy a new solenoid as they are prone to sticking

My Flames work ok
