Sorry, didn't see your reply way back. Just checked and the studs are marked 037749270 Prigioniero 620-750-900M-SS/03 so I guess they are later/better version. Offer still stands if you need them.

Surprise, surprise. My man has failed to complete the Duke again today. All the parts hadnt arrived till today. :rolleyes:

It has always been Ray that was gonna do my bike. Suddenly, its the other guy that was meant to work on it today, and he's been taken ill!:mad:

Fanx, but my man reckons he has all the parts. I couldn't have used them anyway. If I'm getting the g to do the job and a stud fails, he say it musta been the 1 I supp'd!;) If I had'da done the job mi'self, I could'da used it...

Phuck-my-old-boots! :o Rosso Corse called to say the bike is ready! :cool:

If this is what I'll have to put up with if the poxy thing goes wrong regularly, I no not what I'll do! ;)

Hi SneakyMcC, What's the latest on your machine mate?, hope all's well. Woody.

When I collected it yesterday morning, the fuel light was on. I seemed to cough slightly on the ride home, I got fuel just in case it was that low. It seemed to have lost an edge to how I remembered it.

I been out on it today. It dont run as well as it did! It aint fuelling right from 3200rpm-5500rpm!

Rosso Corse are closed Mondays so the battle begins on Tuesday...

Oh, thanks for asking! :-)

Oh man, that's not what I wanted to hear :( . Is it drastic power loss? what happens beyond 5500rpm? Regards, Woody.

No, just the edge. TBH I haven't ridden it for a while, but I am sure the it aint right:(

Beyond 5.5 its ok, still a tad flat I think. But in that 32.-5.5 zone, if you're on a constant throttle, the mota is hunting. Then when you gas-up, the mota has to clear it throat before pulling! Does that make sense?

I live/work in London and take my bikes half the length of the country to Nelly at Cornerspeed. Costs a fortune in petrol but it's worth every penny.

Sorry you had to find out the hard way. :(

Ali

ps: Ask Ray if he ever ran an outfit in Crediton in Devon. Be interested to know if it's the same bloke...

You said your motor has to clear its throat before it pulls. Mine was sat for 5 years and I've got a little of that myself, but I think a little attention to the carbs should sort it. il get round to it one day, but for now it's easy to live with. Went out Sunday and managed to smash the national speed limit :devil: , so she can't be far off the mark :) .
Good luck with yours and keep us posted.Regards, Woody.
