Take a ride to macs workshop day on April 23rd and you will meet some members there and possibly learn a bit about your bike.

I have just had a look at your bike on my PC rather than on my phone. It's looking like a very clean and tidy bike 8)

You can add your location to your to your profile which then shows up under your user name. This can sometimes be helpful for other members to know where you are,

Chris.

Thanks yes the bikes in very nice condition for something as old as 2001 and 19k on the clock.

Unfortunately think I may have to take the ART cans off until I can afford to get it jetted as it has an awful clunk/miss at low revs

That clunk will be the typical vtr carb fart and normal.

Anything I can do about it Oxford is terrible for traffic and it’s a nightmare riding around 2.5 3k rpm

I’ve stuck the original exhaust back on and it’s gone , but they are so quiet , would really like the ART’s and no carb fart

I think if you set the tps to 500 ohms that improves or stops it happening.Some body will be along soon to confirm.
