must be off a low milage or newer vtr, mine is wombles and as its a common fault i gather that any vtr replacement will eventualy fail too.

cleaned it out a few weeks ago and now its stopped working again, is there a better version or alternative.

Thanks for your help on this . It was indeed just a case of putting the standard air filter back in. :!: Unfortunately for her she had the bike in a 2 different bike shops who cleaned carbs, replaced coil packs etc... http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj222/diabolus10/10403180_10203657834552068_566...

Just trying to get some ideas where to start, all I have done so far is pulled the plugs to check colour and they seem fine and took it for a r...
