Does it hang like the revs do on my 400 Baz? I've heard rumours that fecked up valves can cause the engine to hang like this. I've had my bike dyno'd twice and the fueling is spot on, yet the revs still hang, I'm guessing its the same problem as yours.

Bugger! Sorry Baz I haven't looked at this thread at all until now!

My first guess would be a broken wire in the loom. It's an old one, so something could have easily gone brittle and snapped when you disturbed it.

That's the cheapest thing to look at anyway - otherwise my next guess would be having a very close look at cams and shims and all the nasty stuff...

never got round to solving this problem but after reading through some threads believe it could have been something as simple as the mixture screws. :smt012
