Cheers, I might take you up on that offer. Are you meeting with any of the fools that live closer to me this weekend that you could give them too? Like Tommy 5 bikes or Jobby German bike? I would just come get them but I'm working all day today and Sunday.

I've got a set you can borrow although they are a bit out of balance themselves so you have to sort of reverse them and average the error if you know what I mean. In Fleet.

Ok, sweet, thanks peeps.
I'd say best bet is
•If Si can collect Gav's tommorrow and I can collect from Si tomorrow evening
•If Tom's old man is willing to lend me his.
•Borrow Mark's dodgey ones.

Thanks.

Not really investigated but its as if the bike was being starved of air or fuel. Down throttle body sync before and it all seemed to go smoothly and the bike was great on a 12-15 mile test ride afterwards. I put some redex in and set off for work and it died on my on the A322. When i try and start it it just coughs and dies like its getting no fuel. Pain in the feckin a*se mate
