I saw 120 a couple of times (120 what, M'Lud, I'm not saying!). It wasn't pulling as hard as I thought it might? It was pretty wet on the road that was best suited to letting her run on, but the conditions weren't entirely right!

The saga continues!

The bike went back to Rosso Corse on Wednesday cause its spluttering between 3200-5500rpm.

Collected the bike last night. It ran so well that I took it back first thing this morning after putting some Pro-FST in it (to make sure its not carb-icing thats causing the trouble) and told him without getting too Grrrr that I want it fixed proppa!

I cant believe the man. He has given me a list of stuff that 'needs doing'. He wants to start sorting other stuff out, when he's phucked up a bike that was running sweet-as-a-nut before his partner 'fixed' it!

My sympathies and I hope you get it sorted soon. What else needs doing to it?

Rosso Corse say that the headrace is shot(?). Summit aint right, but I'm not sure its that. Plus a fork seal is weaping. He want £170 to do both seals and the h/race-n-bearings. I dunno why, but the gearing is way too tall. The rear sprocket is to small. It has a muller rear tyre.

When that lot's done, I could have a nice lil'bike....till summit falls off it, it's a Duke!

This bike is making my back ache too!

I took the Duke back today. For about the 3rd time since the last update. The choke now works! And the power is back! I suspect that the flat spot is still there. The bike didn't quite get to the high temp that it gets really bad tho
