Welcome, Kev fuel mod then.

I've had third gear issues to the point it was jumping out of gear under load...pulled engine apart and i needed 3rd & 4th gears but was cheaper and easier to buy second hand engine. i do have a thread on kev page with some pictures to give you idea what could go wrong

Thanks for the replies chaps. Checked out the gear shifter today, It was slightly loose, so I checked the splines, gave it a clean and refitted it , tightening well. Tried it for a quick blast and (touch wood) it seems OK.
Interesting what you said about the boots Capt`n, I have been wearing MX boots, although when I tested today I was just wearing trainers.

You see? The reason I knew it is that same happened to me with MX boots, but as I have explained if you must wear those boots there is a way around it by lowering the gear lever. Tried and tested.

I will lower the shifter a notch or two tomorrow. I knew joining this forum would pay off... I am still a bit confused about the best thing to do re. engine surging. Should I start by adjusting the CO and checking the tickover, before forking out on Kev`s excellent mod.? Bear in mind I have blown my budget on buying the bike , and the Aussie$ is pretty strong just now.
