    Think this has been covered before and the answer was to send the engine to the UK. Leave it with me and I'll search elsewhere!

    Edit: No luck, sorry!

    If you're sending it to the UK..Stan Stevens is probably the best there is.....if he'll do a marine engine that is...

    tis not a bike but it is suzuki!! i posted it here because i figured bikers would know where to get a 2 stroke tuned, most of the marine dealers in this country struggle to change plugs let alone porting or tuning work

    Try GP Motorcycles on North Strand around Connolly Station. John Good used to tune Paddy Bradleys 350 YPVS when he won the SS400 and two strokers were running against the first of the ZXR400's and VFR400's.

    They used to (may still do) sell Jet Ski's so might be a pretty good starting point.....

    Other than that have a look around the bike sites for places wiht a rolling road/dyno. Just so you could ring the places and ask for a tuner , they obviously can't run your engine on a rolling road.....unless you fancy changing your propellor for a wheel......
