Few of us went up from Northampton to "support " Pete (Haggler) racing his FZ600 in CRMC yesterday at Darley Moor, took the LC as we had a promise of a few parade laps and it seemed more fitting, the other half joined us on her CBR600 , along with my mate on his H2 , all following another lad on his "new" Honda 400/4... Due to the incredible thirst of the H2 we didnt venture above 65ish but it still hit reserve at 50 miles and took an incredible 15 litres to brim from his home just on the edge of Northampton to Donnington Services (54 miles)...To give you some idea, I travelled 12 miles further to get to his but the LC only took 6 litres! MPG isnt an often discussed topic , bikes are all about having fun but the contrast was jaw dropping and his anxiety about making petrol stations really emphasised it In fact, the H2 used more fuel to cover the distance from Donnington Services to a fuel station just outside Darley Moor (34 miles) than the other halfs CBR600 used to cover the whole journey there (108 miles) ! Added to that, we had to put him at the back of our little gathering as it gave my Mrs a headache and bought on my asthma, maybe there was good reason to ban these things and it demonstrates how well reed valves worked in 2 strokes!? That said, I would love one, especially in this purple. Some fantastic looking and sounding bikes in action. Ex Tony Rutter F1 Ducati, IIRC owner said he won the 81,82 championship on this Chap owned a pair of these Spondon Yamaha since the late 1980s, hadnt used them for 30 years but lockdown persudaded him to get them out again. My other half did 2 of the parade laps , I hadnt noticed she'd pulled off the circuit, found her eating cake and having a cuppa , she "hated it" and said she only did 2 laps as she missed the paddock exit on lap 1! She enjoyed her day out thou, despite being blown onto the hard shoulder of the motorway on the way home as the wind got up, fair play to her. LC was as always, superb at everything, we ended up doing around 200 miles in total, as happy blatting up the M1 as it was being thrashed, pissed down on us part of the way home and it didnt miss a beat, I still felt reasonably fresh at the end of the journey as well, they are a lot of money now but for me, there still the most fun but practical stroker you can buy and run for the money.

GREAT Pics Copper99....some really choice bikes there. Took the LC to only my 3rd of what I hope to be 100 consecutive classes of hot yoga and I'm just thinking that my 18 year old self would have only looked at me briefly before headbutting me into oblivion for even thinking of such a thing....yeah.....but now I'm laughing at his CB125S frankenbike where I now have the marsbar he wanted since 1982.......so there. bloody hell.....I've got to get out more.

Struggled to maintain 80mph on the motorway..there’s a million ignored reasons why though, not least of which: some think the boost bottle is for a YPVS despite Nigel having reassured me it it’s the right one. One fitted has slanted ends.

Rode 50 mile round trip to the John Deere dealership to pick up a lift cylinder repack kit for the loader on my John Deere 2755. Fun was had. Wheelies were pulled. Speed limits were decimated.

Ive no idea what the ends of the boost bottle would make such a difference to the top speed. Surely if one with just a rounded pipe can do over the ton, why would the shape of the bottle matter?

Surely it would be the volume of the bottle and not the shape that would make any difference, after all the RGV uses a pipe in a loop to do the same job as a bottle shape.

It’s shaped so it fits in a lc with a pv motor well thats what i was told when I bought one

Yes thats what they say, but as many people will tell you it doesnt work as those who say it does.
Since shape of the bottle is about where it fits, not the engine then why would this cruel the top speed of an LC?

The diameter of LC & YPVS balance pipes are different so a YPVS boost bottle will not fit an LC's inlet rubbers.

As above, different fitment diameter on pipes, so something else afoot here, if YPVS then bike must have YPVS manifolds to fit them being an LC, and the YPVS manifold does not match up with the LC reed cages, you need to modify them to fit, otherwise you have an obstruction in the intake which will cause some turbulence, this could be the issue, also who knows what else has been done to the bike and if its been done correctly.
