Thank you for replying Trebus,
The condition of the bike is excellent and seems to have been very well cared for. It has 27k on it and apart from the Blue Flame pipe, which I now know is not a race pipe and has the BS stamp, is totally stock.
The fueling is not so much jerky as too responsive - if that's a thing! Might just need to get used to it after the tractor type response of the triple. Not after any more hp just a bit more of a torguey bottom end.
Will check the EXUP valve soon and as I'm finding lots of useful info on here they'll be a lot more checking and tweaking too. Carbs seem a bit unbalanced and tickover at the mo is about 900rpm which seems a bit low and it feels lumpy.
Back end feels well damped and stable so no worries there, so will look into new springs and oil up front.
The gearing must have been changed at some point as I can't see a stock bike having gearing this extreme! Will check soon.
