The JP can be a bit touchy on the tuning side of things where as the Evo 3 is very easy and keeps a tune really well. I just love the Evo 3, when i was at the pre worlds cause i had a bit of a shocker i would let guys pass when we were coming onto the back striaght and by the end i was having to back off really early because i was catching them which was a bit annoying cause i shouldnt have been in that situation but i missed 6 practise sessions which put me behind. Anyway i would reccomend this engine to anyone just make sure you have the new revision crank.
Cheers Daniel
That's awesome to hear Daniel. And you put it in words quite well too as I was clearly visualizing the situation you found yourself in.
I just got one myself and I was wondering as to how will I know if I have the new revision crank? It is a marking on the box? Can I see it if i open the engine up?
Thanks so much for your anecdote. It made me very happy with my purchase!
