thanks hondaman. i would like to know of other nz'ers. i ve got really carboned bottom pipes and clean top pipes, she's not running the best atm, seems a bit lean on the fuel? when u button off and wind back up theres a miss? or dead spot?. i am looking for answers, as shes not a good ride atm, and i worry i will do more damage to the engine from my ignorance. not being overly mechanically minded, but keen and willing to learn. also is i get about 110-120kms on a tank, before i have to use reserve, does this seem about right? and why are manuals so vague, grrh, i think they leave out every 2nd 3rd and wth instruction, or is it a girl thing.
