Your bike needs a damn good service Paulo.

Do what you can yourself, like the clutch, but it sounds to me like it could do with a good going over, carbs balanced etc etc. It will cost but I know you got the bike for a good price and it is basically sound. You will just have to stay at your parents for a while longer (I know I should have, the food was better)

I changed the gearing on mine (14T on the front) and it has made it much more rideable at low speeds. When I am on IAM rides I still have to use first gear in 30 limits to get the responsiveness I need.

Not sure about the 750's but I seem to remember the Haynes manual saying to NEVER spark the plugs against any part of the bike on the 900ss because it can result in damage to the electronic ignition.

Good luck - Frank

but its doing the same thing, just inside the head, not outside... probably just scared of setting fire to the fuel/air mix as it leaves the plug hole...

Try some new plugs....no need for anything fancy...here is a source:
