    Throttle adjustment?

    I know there is a thread on here ref "stalling" but I think this is relevant.

When changing down and blipping the throttle I have stalled it more than any bike I have ridden...

    I’m never going to take a backseater so what’s the point in having them on? Makes the bike look better also. Why carry extra timber. Anyone know the legal implications? I’m guessing it’s bolt them back on For the Mot
