Wotcha, I live in Aylesbury and use Dave Wood Racing off the A41 near the big tescos. They sold me my VTR and have been nothing but helpful and reasonably priced.

Popping from Exhaust on Overrun
Hi Kaz, been reading the forum here for ages and have only just got round to becoming a member. Just got back from Durham this weekend (Mum lives in there), fantastic blast there and back.
As an addition to the above, I've been advised that Mick Surman motorbikes in Aylesbury will charge you for stuff you don't need if they think they can get away with it. I've no experience of this but just a friendly warning.

gippo,
the pipe i described is my own fitment ( to aid carb balancing ) with a golf tee stuck in the end !!...
roughly speaking leaks above engine are usually rubbers between bot of carbs and engine intake or take-offs for carb balancer on front cylinder - some bikes have a bolt screwed in to cap it off, some ( mine ) have an adaptor if they've been balanced before and this is where the cheap pipe is on mine - look down idle speed adjustment side of engine - and below where adjuster is - you should see a bolt head etc screwed below where 'big' rubber connector between carb bot. and engine instake.
on rear cylinder this take off is used to create vacuum for fuel tap on underside of tank - follow it from tank to carb base and you'll see what i mean...if any of this makes sense
other leaks are from exhaust pipework or - if it where a car - the valves not closing / burnt out !..
it really is a matter of just looking where air could get into the engine or exhaust system without going through a carb...
cheers
