Hi Vincenzo,

Do you still have the bike? I have a 2004 model which has lastest well until now nearing 40,000 miles on the clock.

Problem 1:
I did find that when ever it rained the bike stopped, well one cyclinder was only firing. It turns out the problem with the HT leads. The water earthed with the engine and of course not spark. Easy I just replaced them.

Problem 2:
When the bike is on ticking over. Now it seems that the right hand carb is kicking back and let air out or in between the rub in between the carb and the engine. The right-hand cyclinder sounds like it slows down and then starts up again. I have replaced these rubbers, checked the value clearances, replaced the spark plugs, but nothign so far.
