Had it again this morning on the A303 was OK at high revs, but was hestitating and poping and banging when I was pulling away from roundabouts

And thats on Optimax.. damn it has to get some fuel additive me thinks

Where can I get it from ?

Infinity.. J&S.. most bike shops seem to do it.

I did have any major problems this morning.. did feel a little sluggizh once or twice but that was about it.

Cool thanks Grinch

It wasnt to bad, didnt stop me riding like it did the other morning

To me it seems like its worse if its cold and damp, would that be right ?

More moisture in the air to freeze in the carbs.. pluss as the temp is already low it freezes quicker. Worse if your carbs are run from a cold start as they never really warm up, will be making a trip to B&Q soon to get some insulated piping to try to run some warm air into the filter as per Sids idea.

My bike was sat outside all night, It was under a car port thing, but not in the garage like it normally is and I then did a 50 mile journey to Yeovil..

It was foggy, damp and cold in a few places and thats when it seemed to be worse
