    Mr. B6 was feeling unhappy today and yesterday. I put it down to it
    filling with water as it escorted me through the buckets of rain we've
    had.

    Thanks for reminding me that's why I hated my GT750's. Nice lovely FI
    these days for me (although I did like the shaft drive).

    In
    I emptied 2 pints of water from the F650 tank the other day. Seems being
    outside for the last five weeks with a blocked overflow pipe meant the water
    got in. :)

    I don't think I ever noticed it on my GT750. That might be because the
    Motad exhaust gave it an "interesting" power curve...

    I had two GT750's. Both of them wouldn't do anything below 3k rpm
    when it was cold, and wouldn't idle at all. I tried everything
    including boxing in the carbs with MDF :)

    No, completely stock. I crashed first one inside 10 weeks from new and
    begged Daytona at Ruislip to get it written off so I could get another
    one that wouldn't suffer from the same problem, but it did.

    Interestingly, they ran the crashed one with some indeterminate
    throttle, with no oil in the engine, and couldn't get it to blow up
    (or at least not very easily).
