    In May? FFS.

    At least I hope it's carb icing. Fucking Kawasakis.

    More likely to be some residual shit gumming up the carbs.

    A clean tank of petrol should sort that.

    May...heh. I've had it in July. In the rain mind, but still. Fucking
    Kawasakis.

    Silkolene FST Pro or whatever seems to do the trick.
