Starts and sounds the same whether the front plug is connected or not. Doesn't even try to start when on 1st plug only (2nd coil disconnected).

OK... and spraying carb cleaner into front carb caused it to rev up ... but into the rear one caused it to choke and die?

Take front carb off, check float bowl, blow out passageways.

Yup, die or struggle for revs.

Why do I keep leaving the Hayens in the lock up... Well, off to see how that's done

I say take front carb off... you take both off.

It does sound like you need to blow passageways and such out with carb cleaner and compressed air.

A friend helped me, took carbs out, took the floating chamber cover (I think) off and cleaned with a carb cleaner (full of oil).
Bike starts fine although smokes a lot once warmer. (not so much now)
The subframe will need a bit of attention, but isn't too bad.

So, standard screen and fairings are back on again (I started liking the naked curvy a bit too much ), weather is supposed to be fine tomorrow, will probably do the "does the bike still ride in a straight line" test
