A few months on and I am now 100% sure the machinic set up the exup valve wrong and has been setting up other valves wrong for a long time.
The bike is a different bike, it makes power from start to finish. I don't have to drop a lot of gears to pass cars, and another massive difference is the starting of the bike. Before the valve was set up by me it was a pig to start, you never new what you where going to get,hot or cold, you had to give it a lot of revs to have any hope. Now it starts with very little or no revs and you don't need choke at all. Once started you need a very small amount of that throttle to keep it ticking over when cold. I don't even use the choke at the minute, but may have to if weather gets very cold.
I did not realise just how important the exup valve is and I wonder how others have managed with badly or struck or even with it removed?
