Are all four of the little black rubber vacuum nipple boots (tee hee, "nipple Boots") in place.
This sounds exactly as though your plug caps have broken down, it's what mine did. Get a new set of NGK ones off eBay for about 15 quid, unscrew the old ones, trim the leads down a few mm for a good contact and fit the new ones. Sorted mine out completely and g had the same symptoms as you
have you read the "dyno`d today" thread.....might be worth a go
My money is on fuelling here.....as a couple have mentioned earlier - check your breather pipe. You say it only started recently and it kinda coincided with you blocking the drain pipe. Sure it's the drain pipe and not the breather?? Also, why did you need to block the drain pipe in the first place?Make sure both are unblocked and you can blow through them.

What's the point of going on dyno, when bike runs like ****?I thought that dyno it's just for adjusting, tuning, not the fixing, right?Quote from: Wookee on 26 February 2014, 09:50:30 pmMy money is on fuelling here.....as a couple have mentioned earlier - check your breather pipe.

Drain pipe is blocked, because of fuel leak (possibly corroded inside of the tank).Of course that's the theory. The way I've determined which one it's the breather and which one it's the drain, was just assumption that breather pipe can't leak.
I'm from around the area you are, May even recognise the bike if the last 3 letters on the plate are RWO...Unfortunately i'm not too much help on the bike scene though
