Yeah I'm having the same problem withmy curvy. It's carb icing.

My bike tends to start up fine and runs perfect for the first 4miles (out of 8mile journey) then it starts to hesitate when opening the throttle and feels like it's missing also. I had the same problem with my old 600 Bandit.

That's what happens I'm afraid! Make sure it doesn't catch you out.

I will have to get some of that Silkolene stuff!!!
