Saw on BBC interactive that Suzuki have been talking to DORNA about testing a motogp bike next year with a view to having an entry in 2014, 2013 being a toe in the water re how competitive their development bike might be - a return for Vermeulen maybe??  Anyone else seen anything?

Guys, before we start, I can;t afford to Ivanise the bike at the moment, I know it's highly recommended, but if anyone else hasn't done theirs yet.......  :lol  can they comment on the standard fuelling.

I am just wondering if the set-up is to blame or something peculiar with my bike.

It seems to be a little bogged down, say when you are pulling out of a junction or filtering, you slip the clutch away and have to give it more right wrist than it feels like you should, then the bike catches up and surges away from you a little....?

Has given me a few little worries now and again, but I've mainly had fuel injected bikes lately.

I think I need to get the carbs balanced, but not sure if that will cure it, it doesn't really hunt around at a set speed but it does feel a little flat sometimes.

Mike (Falcon) suggested doing the O rings and at the same adjusting the pilot screws slightly, can I get to them without removing carbs when I balance them?
I had a couple of ZX9Rs and they were terrible, if you were in a medium gear, rolled off and then back on, say overtaking a series of cars, there would be a delay then they would shoot off, cured by setting the pilot screws further in I think it was... is this a similar thing with the original jetting of the Fazer?

Until I can afford to mess, I would like to optimise it as best I can.

Afternoon Foccers,
