    Yellow power bands are prone to leakage ...

    I do? First I have heard of this...

    I am sure you will be fine Dodo, as long as you don't go into any roundabout's you will be fine.
    Rest in peace Tony - you will be missed.

    The brown stuff is either blue or green stuff that has gone bad. It eventually loses its hygroscopic properties and can fail to provide enough flow whilst tipping from side to side, such as when going through roundabouts.

    Trade it in. Quick.

    Get George to check your new bike out and ask him to check specifically for the throttle fluid balloon. If he says "you have to be kidding" it is because it can be a time consuming job and he probably can't be bothered doing it.

    Don't listen to the others, it leaking its vital go juice.

    Have it seen to before the bike slows and eventually stops.

    that will be the trouble-you have a throttle tube-prone to leakage

    the modern ones are all tubeless,much more reliable.

    Make sure you carry along your tube repair kit.

    What are you doing leaning? You could be fixing your throttle balloon.

    Yea a serious comment on KB with something useful inside it is like the second coming of Jesus.
