[QUOTE=kazputin;3076864]Hi all, cheers for the commentS!

Bike is a little modified - has a rather loud scorpion end can and a washable air filter (among other cosmetic stuff). Was also self-serviced by the last owner who said he replaced some spark plugs (I have his receipt for them too). Think I'll do a bit of self-service when I get a free weekend and take a look at filters and plugs...

Not sure about rich - I sometimes get a waft that smells a bit fuelly but that could also be the cars around me given I do a lot of riding in traffic!

My K6 fuel consumption dropped off when I changed the can. I think the reduced back pressure causes a bit of over fueling as it pops n bangs now. It would probably need a reprogramme of the injection to get it perfect....
