Im guessing 6 and 7's have one too but theres a little coolant filter under the carbs that should be cleaned out to supposedly 'prevent' carb icing, though it does help.Pop it out the little bottle and blow it out with compressed air and youre good to go.
Silkolene proFST is also highly recommended,im off out to get some today in fact! :mrgreen:

Damn kwackers! :roll:
Bikeless again :/

Thanks for a brilliant ride out. Weather was pretty darn good and managed to get home in time to put the R6 under the hose, which subsequently broke shortly afterwards :x the hose that is. So hand cleaning today, which will be fun!

Was good to fit faces to the names as well. There were some right-dirty helmets out there too... ooh er missus.
