42mm V's 50mm Inlet
« on: 24 March 2006, 16:22 »
Does anyone know if the 50mm inlet really makes that much difference? looking at them the ports entering the head are the same size  :undecided:

not worth bothering imo, gary changed his inlet to a 50mm and lost power because of it.

I did wonder, the 42mm is meant to give more torque and the 50mm is meant to give more top end - i guess for normal driving torque is better than top end

I'll stick with my rocco one



The 50mm inlet's for sale then, i saw one got for £99 on ebay last week  :grin:  that'll come in handy

I noticed 42mm inlet a lot better if just pottering around, When changed to 50mm top end was slightly better. Personally prefered 42mm.
