Murnan Mega/Picco 12
Just some shots of my Murnan Mega/Picco 12. I'm still breaking it in. I've got 10 tanks though it and it is already screaming. It idles very smooth and it seems to be strong throughout the powerband. I highly recommend a Murnan to all seeking exceptional performance. Enjoy

Anyone know if OS plugs work well with the ZX12?...Where I live it's kinda difficult to get hold of the MEGA plugs.

zx21 exhaust port
Has anyone got any info on the exhaust port heights on these. I have seen heights of about 4.5 - 5.2 mm ?? Not modded.

Managed to finally run my MEGA after a thorough check on the carbs and internals. During the break in period i found the spring on the idle screw to be loose and tightens itself when you rev it. Easy fix by pulling the tension on the small spring to make it stiffer and a drop of thread lock on the needle to leave some residue so it's not so loose. What i found surprising was the difference in tuning compared to a NovaRossi based engine which we're used to running here in Asia. I had to richen the low end needle to a point where the screw was jutting out almost 2mm. This beast has got loads of torque. I run a 710 and had to screw the Centax tension to 2mm(Centax2 spring) from the normal 1mm i'm used to. Boy, what a difference it made. The car came alive almost immedietly.
Most of you must've had the o ring problems with the low end needle. I had a local modder remove them and sand the gap for the o ring a little bigger and replaced it with NovaRossi o-rings. No more issues there.
