Well, I see these pictures but don't have a clue as to how this gears up the Burgman. And I am not certain about the connection between rpm and burning less fuel. I think there is a connection between producing less horsepower and burning less fuel. For example, I think the ideal situation would be this: Lets assume that the streamlined Burgman needs 15 hp to go 70 mph. Lets assume it is now geared so the engine turns about 3,000 rpm at 70. This is the time I think we need cut a new cam that maximises torque at 3,000 rpm.

I still don't understand what is going on different inside this Burgman. Is it posted somewhere?

Thanks

Craig
