Great thread... I (we) could do with some one distiling and summarising the issue and what was replaced.

Thanks...

update so far, its not a fuel delivery unit... he got mixed up


they have replaced the cam chain and tensioners as they needed doing apparently, and the breather regulator on the rocker cover, and its still doing it, they have ordered a cranckcase breather but its on factory back order so could be upto a week.

sweet :sad1:

yep thats exactly what i recon, they have fitted the newer plastic rocker cover breather, and are waiting for the metal crankcase one to arrive, i have just bought the eurojet check valve to fit when i put the remap back on
