I would be looking at plugs.

These bikes are notorius for killing plugs off. Have a search for new plugs..you will find that a lot of the times we have an NC that refuses to play it is cured by plugs.

definately seems to be the plugs,replace them and see what happens.

new plug have just been ordered and if it still don't work then i'll have a spare set.

One problem i had was...

Bike would not start at all,

Took tank off, plugs out, spark all good, poured fuel through airbox, bike would run, tank on, bike run for a bit, tank off, etc..

The guy fitting the tank was putting the vacumn fuel pipe onto the wrong connection..

Should be connected to the 3 o'clock position on the tank, not the 6..

Connected bike to car via jump leads, fired up with loads of flames through exhaust..

new plugs fitted, now running fine. thanks guys

good stuff,and in good time for the good weather :D
