.... which turned out to be a nut that had come off on the manifold ..Now, Im not the most mechanical minded person, and I thought it would be a pretty simple process .. I mean, ya just gotta put a nut back on right?
Well, couldnt be reached unless I took off the front screen, the lower fairing, the side fairings, the instrument display, drained the radiator and popped that out too! .. faaark me!
(first time, so it was quite daunting for me!)Below is how the poor ole thing looked, just to get to the nut (which had fallen off, and the other one was just about to aswell)
Put it all back together today without too many dramas.
Thing is, I reckon its been loose since I bought it.
Why? .... Shes never had real good top end .. from about 7 thou up, its always been struggling. I thought it was in need of a tune up.I tell ya, I found meself some extra ponies!
.. The thing rocks now!!!! 
Anyway, thanks to all who offered to come wipe my tears when this problem arose. Its great to know the help is there.
SEEYAS SUNDAY!!!!!
nice work!
