A couple of my mates just popped round my house and i tried starting the bike in front of them and it played up from the off for about 5 minutes until i shook the bike a few times then it started and eventually ran okay.
So on that evidence and procedure we all agreed that i either need to drain the carbs and tank, in case i've picked up some dodgy fuel from somewhere that may have water in it, or just take the bike for a good blast and see if i can burn it off whilst having a little bit of fun at the same time.
I have another week off work to play with although i keep hearing reports of upcoming dreadful weather so i'll have to pick my moment, but i have to get this sorted 'cos it's driving me bonkers.
