if she would have gone anywhere close to 100mph , i would be spending a lot of time
..... Not 
roflolI haven't done any of the above mentioned things. The bike is in a pretty stock condition ..... I just got a quote of NZ $300 for , carb cleaning, sync, replacing jets to original size (IF tampered or the need be), change air filter/cleaner, change oil and oil filter,replace plug and other basic bit. so basically 3hrs labour and part will be extra.
I don't have a garage and nor do i have the tools .Just have the determination to fix it , if that helps
Anything else that am i looking at in particular. Also what's the deal with the fuel vaccum? what is that thing? Can that be a culprit?
Cheers

Ok , I hear what you are sayin now 
Most of the guys here deal in MPH
so adding the KPH is always a good idea ...LOL
If you have no tools and no experience , then you are up against it ...
I can say that 300 NZ bucks is not too bad , if you have that sort of change to spend on her for that work ...
Yer the Vacuum can be an issue .... you can test part of it the dangerous way by going for a short ride with the gas tank cap just cracked open...
(as long as you have not got too much fuel in her it will be ok )
That checks the tank's vent for vacuum lock ...
As far as the carbs go , grab a can of carb cleaner and try that in your tank first before shelling out the cash to the mechanic ...
If you haven't as yet ....grab a free down loadable manual here ...

.
I just spoke to a mechanic and he said adding something like redex (carb cleaner) might harm the entire injection..... I thought as much that to start of with, will just add a cleaner, and see what happens. Also planning to open up the tank and give it a clean (How, don't ask me) lol...
I can try the checking the vaccum by ur suggested technique (can it be classified as one ???
).... hmmmm.. That should be fun....
Thanks for ur help...
Will keep you guys posted!!!
Cheers!

Hi All,
As suggested , I have added the carb cleaner. Took her out for a 40km spin.
I can see some improvement in the pick up (or maybe I wanted to)
Also a very strong observation. Before I reached the speeding camera zones, I had a constant throttle and I saw her crossing 150 kmph (NOT mph) for the first time. But the moment i give a full throttle, it cuts down? does that mean anything? any one any comments? also when in neutral, if i rev her really hard n once she reaches the red line (which is again rare), the engine stops. have to start her again but she pops up fine? Again, does that indicate anything?
Cheers!

Man..what have i done???
I was playing with the bike. Somehow managed to open the fairing and the tank. .. wanted to check if the fuel comes out freely from the inlet .. so was trying to pull tube connected to the tank.... saw the vaccum tube as well (sorry if I sound like an idiot)
There is no fuel coming out of the inlet from the gas tank. When i pulled the tube out from the tank inlet, and turned the fuel **** on, there is no petrol coming out???. Also the vaccum tube is not connected to any other end... AND THE BIKE DOESN"T START NOW. HUH!!!!
WTF????
cna someone point me to the right direction? Where is the other end of the vaccum tube connected? one end is at the petrol ****...
Cheers!
