raced the new GXII this weekend,ran about 5 tanks on the box as the weather has been lousy all week

engine was still rich but was right on the pace and set fastest lap of the day so it cant be too bad.

bit heavy on fuel with the 8mm venturi and fat tune but to be expected..its only done 5 tanks before it was thrust onto the track under race conditions so couldnt be more happier.

it feels smoother than the old 5 port but just as quick.what i did find with the GXII over the GX 5R is that it broke in a heck of a lot quicker!

the GX5R and 7R took around 2 gallons for the pinch to drop off,the new GXII has only had around 15 tanks and its already looser than my 2 gallon 7 port.

so either they changed the material or changed the pinch tolerance..anyone else find the same?
