Yeah I'm around the 95-100kg mark myself.

I can't comment too much on your particular setup, but my 750ss hated the cold. I used to park it outside, but under a cover. Leave it for anymore than a week in winter and you had no chance of starting it. Even after 3 or 4 days of no riding it was a lottery as to whether it kicked over or not. *shrug* I just learned to roll start it quite a lot - warms you right up on cold winter mornings, although ice on the road can be a bit tricky.

Erm... This is the bike running on idle (little choke):

And a close up, I'm sure it ain't ment to be like that!

Ok I have checked the fuel filter, and ran the bike and the bubbles were comming off the 'sack thing' like made (hope thats normal). And I also took the power commander off and tried to run the bike and it was slightly worse.

I then tried the commander and it was no better than before. I don't get it. When the bike idles the light stays on the first bar of the lean possition (as in pics) with no change.

So I'm stuck, when I pull the throttle back to fast it dies like lack of fuel, if I take it easy, it's ok until I get into top revs and it starts to die again. Any ideas? I need to fix this tonight for work tomorrow!

can you not use the low button to richen up that idle setting looks far to weak to me

[diehard]

I just sent you a U2U mate, sorry, didn't see your post. I press all sorts of buttons when the bike is running and not running and it doesn't do zip, but I still have the probs (slightly worse) without the PC?

Well I have just tried programming the power commander on the bike and nothing happend at all and I followed it to the letter. I wonder if it's fooked? Or maby it doesnt have a map on it at all... Can it loose it's memory with a low battery on the bike? Just waiting for my mate to bring me my cables n book round so I can plug it into me comp...

Well I think me power commander is not working and even without it fitted the problem is exactly the same. Pull the throttle back too quick and it dies, even when idleing. I think I'm just gonna have to give it up and get it into a garage.

Some sujestions I have had are, throttle posistioning sensor, the coils and plugs. But I don't know, injection bikes are new to me, I want carbs back!
