do a "plug chop" and check the plugs.

or it might just be you haven't ridden a 2t for a while...
I don't trust the oil pump, so am running it on 40:1 premix. When I left the MOT station I did "give it a little" (I'm still running it in as it's had a rebore) & I couldn't see too much behind me. I started sing "Purple Haze" in my head
