ok....more sensable stuff.....took the bike to work today..after replacing the diaphrams last night......made no difference  ......got in tonight and fitted the downpipes i bought off DEADEYE,I`ve welded the old ones a few times now over the years and was thinking that some of the weld might be causing a restriction,i`ve also replaced the can with one thats been in the garage for years,when i took the old one off there was quite a lot of what i guess to be loose/broken baffles shook the can and got most of them out but had the spare so on it went...will use for work again tommrow.............hows the decking going ade ?

ok lads....sensible head for a minute. Red, with regards weak diaphrams a little test i did at one point with the carbs off ( i`m sorry) was to get a shortish length of pipe and tape it into the little snorkel thingy on top of the carbs in the middle with some duck / duck tape and gently blow. what i did observe was 3 of the sliders lifted at identical rates suggesting all was fine with those but carb #1 didn`t shift !!!!!!. turned out main needle somehow was jamming / catching down in the emulsion tube. so a quick clean and lube with graphite powder all all was fine. obviously didn`t help me any long term, but maybe something for you to keep in mind for future reference
top tip ade...thanks for that...next time i remove the carbs i`ll try that

The black engine gen 2's have at LEAST 20% more bhp over the lesser silver engine. 
dont listen to ghostbiker.....he just made that up....ask the dealer if he can paint the bike silver.....as for the alarm....if it aint broke,dont fix it

Red is the fastest colour
5 sleeps!
strifar....i think you may have been mis-lead...........yes red is the fastest colour........if you have a 600.....you`ve now got a thou,the rules change with a thou,if you wanted the fastest thou you should have bought a silver/grey one
