Thanks everyone, I've now got lots to go on. The bike seems to be running a little better every time I take it out aswell.

I agree with Rob, I'm riding my CB650 a lot at the moment, (Between down pours) and it's got tons of mid range umph, it's great cruising up behind a car at 55-60, then just winding open the throttle to overtake without \"Cogging Down\".

Different engine, I know from past experience mid range power and handeling  is a lot more useful than a fast top end.

The Important thing is to enjoy the ride.....

Hi all, glad the site is back up. Stripped my carbs last week and main jets had potatoes growing in them, also the clip position was running them too rich. Putting them back together tomorrow, then I'll be of down the road for a roadtest before it starts raining again. 8)
