    Blows my mind that after all these years no one has found a cause/fix on this bike...
    Cost me about $200.

    2 muffler shops quoted me >$600. Custom chambers was slightly lower at $500. Plus the cost of a extra header set to have the option of going back to stock.

    Maybe I should go to repco and buy some welding equipment and give it a go with a few beersies

    Yeah well, I've been hauling fuel since the late 90s and the above I learned in the first week...

    Another thought. If the input air flow and fuel is fine, then perhaps the fuel burn is the problem. Has it definitely got the right spark plugs in it, and are the spark plugs in good condition?

    Yeah definitely the right spark plugs, they were last changed around 6000kms ago, with the bike having done a total of 44,000kms. The previous plugs were in near perfect condition.
