In a message dated 98-08-09 11:13:47 EDT, you write:

<< The Workshop Manual tells me that, at 1,000 rpm in top, I should be
 doing 38.5 kph.  However, the measured road speed of the Tiger (using a
 reliable modern car, fixed distances and several attempts) at an
 indicated 1,000 rpm is 30.7 kph. - 20% slower!
 Anybody any ideas please? >>
Colin-
I would think the only possible explanations would be:
1. Your tach is innaccurate
2. You have steeper gears than 2:88s, maybe 3:31s.
