    Did you hear it running? Ride on the back? Take it for a ride?

    Sure sounds like fuel. First off, I'd take the drain screws out of the carby bowls and with the tank tap 'on' let it dribble out for a bit. Replace screws & try running it again. Often the cause of idling OK but no revs is water in the fuel that can't get through the jets thereby blocking them when you increase suction by opening the throttle
    Do you realise how many holes there could be if people would just take the time to take the dirt out of them?

    And Paul is correct... a relation of mine works for the civil section of the courts, and has mentioned a few times that even private sales (sans AIWI) must be as specified. 'Goes like a dream' indicates an expectation...

    However, before we get litigous, it's probably something simple... get someone to have a poke

    Someone down your way will no doubt show you how...tis easy. However, if bike ran fine on testing but not after trailering to yours, I would be querying something else. Say...dislodged 'something' when using tiedowns....don't know what tho. Should be a simple fix once you identify reason.

    Yeah, thats what happens with mine because of lack of revs although the accerator is back as far as it can go.

    Bike shop said to get carbs cleaned and stuff so i might try that first

    You got a manual for the bike?
    To every man upon this earth
    Death cometh sooner or late
    And how can a man die better
    Than facing fearful odds
    For the ashes of his fathers
    And the temples of his Gods

    i find if i hold the throttle full open while its "dead" and slowly ease it off to the point where it starts to "die" and hold it just above that point for abit.

    i also find that if im going along the motorway a fully twisted throttle is less power than a slightly less twisted one.

    i need a manual too, was going to have to look for one anyway so i'll get around to it soonish.

    Is the oil at the correct level, i.e. Not grossly overfilled?
