Just by way of an update, I have just returned the bike to stock 38t rear sprocket (from a 41t aftermarket - great for cruising, but makes it too fast in the sections) and did the Moor 2 Sea LDT yesterday and didn't stall at all!! So I am now confident that swapping out the cat front pipe was not relevant to my previous issues.

I'm 6'1 and added a 5.5 rise within the first few weeks of ownership as I found I was too cramped on the going (mainly riding long distance trials). So I have now added a bar riser to the higher bars and the improvement is great.....there is however a downside, that the leverage is now so great on a small clamp the bars have a tendency to rotate if the going gets tough. Seriously thinking of going back to just the upswept bars and putting up with discomfort when standing up on the longer stages between sections.

I've just swapped the front pipe and removed the wire and the difference is amazing. I took part in an LDT on Sunday and managed to stall the bike 3 times, I hasten to add that I have only stalled this occasionally before. Has anyone else who has carried out this mod had a similar experience? Really hoping it is me and not something which has developed due to the change made......
