I've got a Caberg Ego, it's got a massive vent that opens on the top (not sure how this would affect its performance in a crash?!) and can get a bit noisy! Nice and cool though. Not too expensive either.

Cheers! Didn't even know these existed. I'll give them a try!

Im going to have to invest in a new pair soon, current gloves are Frank Thomas Advanced Aqua...3 months old and a hole has worn through on one of the palms, they only cost £40..but 3 months?!

Haha cheers! I'm looking forward to the commute tomorrow morning to try out some of this extra power!...what's the betting it's either going to be frosty or wet!

I'm a nod whore...not fussy! Probably 3/4 nod back, I find wannabee Hells Angels are the worst for blanking you!

I'm an idiot... Today I got good ol' dad round to have a look and within 10 seconds he spotted that one of the screws on the inlet clamps was pressing against the throttle lever and therefore stopping it returning completely...[emoji9] Thank-you all for your inputs and saving me greater costs/embarrassment by getting it checked by a garage! So, to conclude.. Thankyou and I'm a tw*t!

Lol..very likely! Cheers!

OK thank you both, I'll get the tank and airbox off again and make sure nothings out of place (I may take a few pics if you guys wouldn't mind having a look?!)..I'm just flapping a bit as I'm new to bikes and everything that I've tried so far seems to be making it worse! The only thing that I have noticed so far is a pipe that come out of the bottom of the airbox is kinked..but it looks to be bunged off at the other end anyway?

OK thanks.. It's just getting worse! (not through following your advice!)..this morning I removed everything again to make sure that everything was sealed up properly and now it just revs up after starting, I have to kill the engine because it won't stop!.. I think I'm going to have to get it trailered somewhere because it's getting way beyond my skills now! Thanks for your help though everyone.

Thanks eastanglianbiker, I'll have ANOTHER look today!..really wishing I left alone now!!

OK, removed the plates and put everything back together..but now it idles at 2200rpm and the revs are very slow to drop after blipping the throttle...have I messed up somewhere!?

Excellent, thanks again...there may be some panic "wtf" posts tomorrow!

Lol, thanks for the replies.. I'm going to go for it and have a go myself tomorrow (unless it's p*ssing it down!). One more quick question, will I have to drain the fuel tank?..or will turning the fuel tap off do the job?

I've had a quick search and can't find any related topics.. Does anyone know how much I should be looking to pay to have the restrictor removed on my 98 GSX600F? I've phoned a couple of places, but they're all being a bit vague! Thanks.
