During the brake in it never flame out , not even the slightest problem and trouble.I suppose the Japanese people have made one of the best engines arround and value for money.I'll have more specs on next saturday!!!

fuel consumption seems to have been improved as well , as i had more than 7 min run with one tank.that will sure be dicreased when the engine would be 100% ready for racing after about half to one litre of fuel run!!!!

Just one word discribing the engine : AMAZING!!!!

THE XZ VERSUS THE SPEC 2 seems to win at all categories:

fuel consumption
all arround rpm
stabiliness

although the specs are published as same as the spec 2 , the xz has absolutely more bottom and top end..especially the top!!!!!!!!
