Back to carb icing question, did the bike always go rough around the same area? Mine was at exactly the same spot, about a mile away from my house.
I tried the proper fuel additives, not worth a shit, and expensive, at the time about £12 a litre but didn't work at all, then i read about the Isopropyl trick and it worked straight away. And because it's so much cheaper you can put more in the tank.
Even if the pipes are clear it can be caused by moisture in the tank, which the IPA bonds with and then burns as fuel.
Just something to consider if you end up a bit stumped!

More people are born because of alcohol than will ever die from it.
