Took it out for a run through town at traffic speeds today, keeping it below 3k. After a couple of miles, I pulled over to check the pipes, but they all seem to be getting good and hot, so don't think it's actually running on 3, although it was just a hand test. It's kind of "burbly" at those revs; hard to put it in words. A bit snatchy on throttle too. Seems to get a bit worse as it gets hotter too. It's not desperate, more just annoying cos I know it's not right. A visual inspection of the vacuum take-off caps shows them to be in pretty much perfect condition and all seated properly with the little clamps firmly in place. Think I'll get the workshop it's booked in with to check that all pilot jets etc are clear, cos that's what it seems to point to. If not, perhaps it is the TPS.
Blasted it up to the Hartside after that, and as soon as it's up towards 4k, everything's perfect.
