it was a bit of a mystery on the dyno because you cant tell the pulley is loose with all the belts tight. i would have had no clue if easy didn't figure it out..

we thought the P2 injectors were acting up but they're brand new RC 750s...

Kane was saying something (negative) about those a while back - if the problem persists - try something different there .

i guess there are fakes out there but all mine are ordered direct from RC

I hate taking the front cover off with the engine in the car... You are lucky that pulley didn't manage its way off!
