Hi All,
Firstly, many thanks once again to you all. The top speed issue is now resolved
I've scared myself silly in testing it, but it now accelerates MUCH harder, and top speed is through thre roof :eek
Obviously being a red one, I was able to out-accelerate time itself, and arrived back 3 minutes before I set off, which will make the commute a little easier.
It was indeed a restrictor kit fitted by the previous owner, so removing the carbs, removing the restrictor, and putting it all back together again solved my problem.
This just leaves the noise and the crappy gear change.
The noise is definately coming from the front, and whilst the tyre is a 120, it's definately not rubbing on the fender / mud guard.
When I was changing the front wheel bearings, I obviously had to remove the speed sensor (and broke one of the exposed wires in the mean time :o ). I've ordered the replacement part, but whilst Googling it (other search engines are available), I saw a picture of a speed sensor that appeared to have bearings in it? Mine doesn't (the one I just broke the wire on) should the sensor have bearings in it? I'm not talking about the rotor here.
As for the crappy gear change, I'll take a look at the suggestion around alignment. Of all the problems I've had with the bike, this is the least of my worries as I have a work-around :lol
