If it's anything like my CB125, it won't have much, but it shouldn't fall off too much.  What year is it?  You should pop the chain off and count the teeth on both sprockets to make sure they haven't been changed.

1) Check to see that it's getting air.
2) Pull the clutch and check the plug.  What's it look like?

 ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D thanks for the PM Steve, glad to see you have a sense of humor, you could have shouted though, I'm just up the road from you near Manchester ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D

Joking apart, like 333 said they don't pull hard in top gear.

Most small low powered Jap bikes are well over geared. They will pull past the point that they make most power in the lower gears but not in top.

What year is the bike and does it have a rev counter ?

Malc, PM me your phone number and I will ring you nearer week end.

Maybe we can all get together, sort Steves bike and all go to the show.

Have you heard anything from Chris (babyfood) that was coming over from the US to Telford in July ?
