He felt like a complete dick all the way into workfrown what a tt, should have known better than to reset the throttles after a 3am flight back from latvia!!!

I adjusted bank 1 to 3, pretty sure its no1, I questioned it after putting the bonnet back on

So, by the end of my 40 mile journey I'm wishing the ground would swallow me up as its backfiring like rodney trotters robin...

Going home on the motorway v gently to sort her out, what an idiot, she was running so nicely ... For about ten miles...

Going thru a housing estate and I thought I would get an asbo!
Yes, idle and light throttle embarassing, other wise things were ok, will just have to make sure, as you say, the throttle stays open on the way home wink

Well, job and a half! Turns out no. 1 was tight, but no2 didn't seem to want to play, then a realised it was cause in trying to ensure it was tight (the reason for the reset originally) I damaged the threadfrown
So, off I went to get some oversize m6 grub screws and nuts, tapped out the adjuster arm and then started the balance process again!
Got there in the end but what a pita.
Driving lovely again, finallysmile
