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)

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