With only 33bhp IT could be a cow with a bell around its neck chaseing you.

If you still havent solved the jingling problem then why not give John or Chris a ring at Veloce 01508 571070 or go and see them, there not far from you.
Swardestone, what use to be the petrol station.

I think i will have to have a shake down of the bike to see where it could be coming from. Im pretty sure its not fairing related, cos ive had that all off in the last week or so.

I think the restriction kit is just a plate that cuts off a partial section of the carb outlet.
The bike seems to hate it and will bog and splutter at times.

I dont spose it helps that the bike has a stage one dynojet and a predator race pipe on it though, im sure.
Im very tempted to put the standard can back on it but am kinda worried that the jetting will be way out cos of the dynojet.

Bit unusual to have a stage one Dynojet kit and noisy pipe if the bikes been restricted to 33bhp innit ?

I know. 2 steps forward then 5 back....
I bought the bike with the can and dynojet kit on it.

In all honesty, I'd actually be happy get it back to stock for the meantime.
I'm still building my confidence riding it, so speed isn't something im worried about all that much.

On an orignal 600 pantah I once blasted up to Cat and Fiddle and on leaving a geezer handed me what looked like a 20mm spacer asking if this was from my bike. Nahh, not off mine mate and proceeded with speed the 20 odd miles home.
Next day found the right side engine mount was missing a bolt and spacer - oops.

Moral - check your engine mounts regular.

I had something similar happen on my vfr400 when it was restricted, one of the washers which sleeves down the size of the inlet to the engine had come our of the rubber inlet and blocked of one cylinder this meant it wouldnt start, over time i think it gradually moved making noise and cutting of the air/fuel supply to one cylinder totally.

Don't worry - I'm still like that after 35 years

As to the ringing...pinking? i.e. over advanced ignition?

Or little ends
