I take it you not too computer literate then. Posting pictures is not too difficult. You will need an to use an online image hosting site like photobucet or equivalent which is free to join. http://www.photobucket.com/ It's as simple as uploading your image to photobucket and copy and pasting the code they give you across into your posts here. If you get stuck we are here to help. http://www.vtr1000.org/phpBB3/viewtopic ... 18&t=27367

do you think it needs doing if it runs ok and its not guzzling fuel ?? . I am fortunate that mine runs as sweet as a nut and I get better mileage than some on here. (lucky) I have had the bike 4 years and done about 6 k miles. if nothing changes I would,nt dream of fiddling with the carbs

Definitely worth checking. And it's not really fiddling with the carbs as all your really doing is making sure the throttle is opening the carbs by the same amount.
