After seizing the front cylinder, and some incorrect assembly, a bit of loving care has finally brought things were they should be. This is a 21 R engine with the wire spliced, a fresh top end and TYGA hi flow reeds. Other than this, I have new std jets and adjusted RC valve 'the HRC way'.
As soon as I completed the RC valve adjustment, I realized how the engine behaviour had changed, but yesterday I got the dyno readings. My friend and dyno owner has a vj22, which also puts 55 rwhp, but the power curve from the NSR is consistently +/- 5 hp above the rgv. He would not let me have a chart with both curves!
In any case, I am pretty happy with the throttle feeling, as happy as to not consider drilling the airbox lid. Not for street use.
Thanks for all the advice. I can now go and try to improve the aesthetics on my bike.
