I remember my Bimota !
Jan 14, 2019,11:38 AM
The Yamaha 600cc engine had some kind of induction forced system. There were two carbon tubes going into the 'fuel tank' airbox. But that bike had a BIG problem around 6000 rpm, there was a powerfall so bad it was almost impossible to ride it in between .... .
So my friend changed the carb setup completely along with deleting the airbag and instead mounting 4 KNN filters ... when we first heard the bike going full throttle we couldn't believe our ears 
... it sounded like a 18,000 rpm Formula one car. But when you were on the bike revving it to the maximum of 12500-13000 rpm it sounded very different but still waaaay too crazy .
Years after i sold the bike to a neighbor i heard him passing by .... i still remember the sound STILL being out of this world.

My pride and joy The car now has 135,000 km and something went wrong with the gearbox, a common problem for this car. So we are obviously going to change the clutch as well as it took 5 hours to take out the gearbox. But on top of that i will be adding a ...
Many Renaults tend to suffer from gearbox fail

I love the technological advances of Renault, but sometimes their cars are a little delicate. Their design is advanced also. Thanks for your answer and excuse me for the late response. Best. René
Good luck
