Got the carbs balanced yesterday, and got Iridium plugs fitted, and good grief does it show!! Bike now runs smoother than Gershwin sliding down a greasy pole on a toboggan (to mix your metaphors). So smooth! :lol :lol
Hey christo, if you got someone else to balance the carbs for you then out of interest how much did it cost?,mine could do with a fettle and although it would be easier to just ask my local garage since you've mentioned it & you is in the land of expensive then would be good to have a ball park figure to compare against.
cheers!

Paul (the mechanic) is a friend of mine - for fitting the plugs and balancing the carbs, he charged me £50. Minus £10, as I'm a starving student and he's a nice chap, and minus another £5 for finding some info on his bike on the interwebs.

cheers christo :thumbup , so ill use 50 bucks as my ball park figure which i wouldnt mind paying once a year to keep it sweet, if it gets close to the 100 bucks mark ill be tempted to buy some guages and do it myself.
