Re: Exhaust questions: paste, wrap, needles

[James Carruthers <j.carruthers@rave.ac.uk>]

Neil,


I have already changed my springs to stiffer ones - and the needles are 
one "step" up from the standard.

I don't have the TT book to hand - it would be useful if you could tell 
me what they suggest.

I don't have any other mods except the K&Ns. I currently have whatever 
needles and springs they suggest for the K&Ns only - as thats where I 
got them from.
