@@eberhardh I was on a ZZR1200 and I did check my mirrors after the overtake and noticed my bike was much faster accelerating and had opened up a large gap on the Goldwing so there was plenty of room, Goldwing was trying to race a Ducati sports bike who did drop in behind me and waited for a safer place to overtake. I slowed down a bit because I didn’t want to exceed the speed limits of the road.

What are the stock jet sizes ? I suspect mine may have been done, but I'd like to check it at some stage. Mine has the K&N Filter and Yoshimura full system so I have a feeling it may have a kit fitted. The bike is a beast and definitely feels more alive than others I've sampled. Possibly has a cam too.

Some friendly advice to everyone. If you are a DIY type who tinkers on their Jap bikes, get yourselves some JIS screw drivers. (Japanese Industry Standard) screw drivers are a must, especially when doing carby work so you don't ruin the screws. The screws are made for JIS screw drivers for best mechanical fit and purchase of the screw itself.

I suspect that dirty coolingwater is making problems for myself. Going to flush the system and change it. I thought it might be the battery but after I saw my cooling water I suspect that this device isn't working properly. I bought the bike used last year. I guess the previous owner either changed the cooling water with the wrong one or topped it off with the wrong one. Going to check if the pin moves freely.

Sorry to bother you. As an experienced (older) rider the GSR600 is a bike that really appeals to me but quite a view reviewers go on about the "jerky throttle" by which, I presume, they mean 'fueling'. Some also talk about the TPS (Throttle Position Sensor) being at fault. Do you have any experience regarding this supposed problem with the GSR600 or do you think that's all down to a bad riding technique eg. throttle control ? Many thanks.
