The Primavera appears to be holding its fuel, thanks to Inchpincher's adjustments to the fuel tap, so I rode it home yesterday and to work this morning. Boy, it's good to have that smallframe feeling again.
The power's all in the top end, which is probably a limitation of the exhaust I chose (purely on looks. I said 'I want this exhaust, please build an engine to suit it'). It's properly gutless at low revs, but when they build it just takes off like a rocket. As I emailed to Ben yesterday it's "mmmmmmbrmmbrmbrmbmrbmpopopopWAAAAAAAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHHHHH"
I need to calibrate the digital speedo. At 30 (estimated by following a van going through a speed camera) it's reading 42mph.
