cheers for that, I was wondering about carbs being gummed. The fuel is new as it dropped onto reserve a couple of miles after setting off so I filled it up with fresh fuel.

We do have fuel cleaning products, has anyone tried the aerosol types that you spray into the carb mouth with the engine running?

I am still baffled by this cut out and backfire though, it has always done this.

One other thing, I have just been onto Triumphs site, put in my details and it appears that there are outstanding recalls for this bike. Does anyone know what was recalled on the 02 BA?
