My first thoughts, but a quick look under the tank on my return home and both look well. Do the air screws ever move, unlikely I know but I want to eliminate things I may have caused by last week's adjustments

A bit of help please. I did the air screw adjustment and throttle sync last week and was over the moon with the results. I set out on a 450mile up to the Scottish borders three days since and it was running perfectly, however over the three days it has started to stutter again and has...

Has anyone peeled off the metal shrouds on the plug sticks. I assume they are there as an interference guard. I would have thought being deep in the cam cover that would have been an adequate shield. I'd like to take mine off to reduce the risk of the high tension shorting to earth. Opinions?

Hi Steve fancy meeting you here Dave

Has anyone else turned off their traction control and felt an improvement in the bikes handling on the road ?

Has anyone in the northern UK had their 25000 valve check service carried out by a dealer. Who did you use?, were you happy with the quality of their work?, how much did they charge? Did you take the opportunity to retrofit the updated cam chain tensioner at the same time? Thanks in advance.

As it says in the title I'm looking for db killer for my arrow end can. Does anyone have a spare one in possession perhaps after selling on their bike .
