rode the piggy to work today..... seems to be fine, never had a sticky valve on a bike before so had me a little worried

Nice one... still what is the cause? It would make me reluctant to go 50k into the bush until i'd satisfied myself it was sorted

possibly condensation.. rode home during the rain, parked up nearly 2weeks of wet weather, damp shed....... or - running super rich,spent last four months lugging through town, carbon build up..... dunno really, the run to work today went sweet... will keep an eye on it if it happens again i'll open her up
