Default Power loss or imagination
Either I lost some power when I re-torqued my exhaust flange or I a have already gotten used to the added power and torque and want more. Just not sure.

I got used to my stage 1 in about 2 weeks.....now everywhere I ride around town I am going 50 and it feels like I am going 20. You are just getting used to your bike. This happened with my Sportster in a very short time and then it felt like it had no real power.

SO I figure now that I am doing double the speed limit everywhere it should be no time before I lose my license for 6 months after which my bike will seem fast again.....

You don't stop putting money onto your scoot until you sell it.
