Unfazed… cheers for all that, very helpful. The plug caps are already done which made it better, the downpipes warmed up evenly and smoothed it out a bit. The R1 TPS is already fitted and seems to be working a little better although strictly speaking it probably wasn’t necessary. However it did feel a lot smoother in its operation than the existing one so probably would need one at some point anyway. The cam chain tensioner I suspect is stuck and hopefully just needs a clean to free it up, the rattling doesn’t ease up as the engine gets warm.
My plan was to have the carbs out over the weekend but with one thing or another I never had the time so fingers crossed for this Saturday. I have an ultrasonic cleaner for the jets etc so hopefully this will sort them. Will have a look on wemoto for the intake boots, probably the carb bits too.
Last but not least will be the valve clearances, am I right in thinking they’re every 24,000 miles? If that’s the case they’re not too far off due and that’s assuming they were done already.
If all that doesn’t work can anyone recommend somewhere to get a gallon of petrol and some matches? ?
