[When cold it idles at 1400-1500 rpm but drops to a steady 1200 rpm when hot with enough power to idle in first gear at under 1400 rpm.[/QUOTE]

As above after its 6000 mile service it ticked over at 1200 rpm like a watch and was so smooth from 2000 rpm even in 3rd and 4th obviously you cant give it too much throttle as it will knock hell out of the transmission in such a tall gear. After a couple of PMs with kev and a good look through previouse posts I am reasured that the setting mid way between 4 and 5 oclock is safe for the bike. I also checked the kev mod with a meter to make sure it was working and that the dna filter fitted properly. The kev mod is now back on, adjusted my tickover to 1500 rpm as per yamaha spec, results as per original post more flexible due to o2 mod and more get up and go due to fuel mod, very slightly not as smooth above 4000 rpm as original filter and snorkel .
