Does it move when you open the throttle?

If not then there's a carb problem which isnt letting the front pot have any air, otherwise I'd say seriously out of balance. PM sent.

well just finished, everything looked fine but the oil was abit thick and black that probably wasn't changed at last service (4000 miles ago). Haven't started it up yet as i ran out of oil and its just hovering below minimum.

ahh! about a month ago i got the bike out to take to work early one morning and when i shut the choke it stuck, i opened it up and closed it and it shut so i thought nothing more of it, i will do this next weekend.

cheers and everyone:notworthy:

Maybe a stupid question but are both cyliders firing?

You did say it sounds fine so it's probably a yes. Still worth asking although I'm not sure if a twin would even tick over on one pot. My older IL4's would tick over on two because I had two HT leads foul and the same time but this is my first twin so I don't know.

ooooh they run on 1 cyclinder!! had that damn problem for the last month!! front cylinder kept not firing intermitently!! in the end found it to be a vacuum tube (i think, forgotten already!!) running from the airbox to the front cylinder.

when running on just the one cyclinder there's zero power and the sound is very stange!!
