how'd you solve it mate?
think me Bandit needs some carb tuning or something, splutters at times in low gears taking off. random

You giving her enough balls? They need a fair bit of revs to get moving..

[shonofear]

plenty of ball giving.
tried extra hard this afternoon and felt very flacid and boggie.
read lots about different things to do/check, just gotta have a good looksie to see if all is well under the hood. actually just started to get this weird tick sound just after starting the bike, not sure where its coming from but would like to know why its doing it.
would of liked to get more done to her before my Cali superbike day this Sat.
meh, at least its not a race, hope to get sum good lines down pat :P

They're not too tricky to pull down, but figuring out the problem can be a bit of a pain. Giving the carbs a decent clean may help, swapping plugs, all that jazz. If you need a hand, flick us a PM and I'll give you my cell number and give you a hand! More the merrier, right?

Does it do it when it has been running for a while, or just when it's cold? If it's the latter, then try letting it warm up for a few minutes before you leave.

mmm ive always eased on the revs when shes still cold and warming up.
i think i'll do the cleaning of the carbs/air filter/plug checks/tuning with mixture settings then go from there.
Hey Maggot, I'll be keen to take you up on that offer bro. PM on the way...
cheers

my bikes running smooth. thanks to Mr motorcycle doctor and his handy skills,
ended up having the carbs too rich and also a ripped rubber slider thingy that goes into the carbs so was sorta runnin on 3 cylinders.
bikes way funner to ride now.
yay

also glad i didnt attempt to open her up myself, so complicated watchin George do it
