You will need a carb tuner and lots of patience to tune and balance carbs. But if you don't have a noticeable jumpy idling, then I would say your carbs are balanced and don't need messing around.

If you want to rejet your carbs, look on US websites for pre-selected staged kits. Dynojet is a good choice for that. Replace your stock air filter and get K&N pods instead, but only do that if you are rejetting your carbs.

A full system exhaust. Sometimes even the aftermarket stainless systems weigh lighter than the stock ones. Fork braces... make a lot of difference. Go for a short/race throttle if you want to.

If you are not doing track days, then get rid of all the fairings and make it into a streetfighter :)

I was thinking street fighter (: haha

My idle isnt exactly jumping
The choke was a bit loos where it screws into the hand peice but thats now tight and doesnt effect the revs like before you could jiggle it and the revs would go up and down a bit but now its fine
And i tinkered with the idol and tuned it up a fraction so its not ao low,

The only problem i have is the throttle
When your low in revs say taking off, cornering or round abouts, anywhere under about 4-5000 rpm its very jerky, as in ill hold tge throttle in the same position but it rides and accelerates like im ripping it back and forth :/
Any suggestions for that?

Cause the jerkiness really sucks on a round about in the wet :/ haha

Check throttle cable for signs of wear. Check spark plugs and leads. Carbs might need cleaning properly. Start the bike, let it warm up, while the bike is in neutral throttle up to say 1.5 - 2k rpm and hold it, touch the engine and feel for knocks. Check engine oil level. :-)

If the engine has no knocks and the throttle cable has no wear/tear/sag then it would be your carbs which need cleaning. When you are checking for knocks, check if you have a jumpy rpm when holding the throttle at say 2k-2.5k ish rpm with the bike on neutral. Check if your sparks are giving a clean ignition, and air filter is clean.

Drain the carby bowls, you might have a bit of water in them. Also drain fuel tank to make sure u don't have water in there also.

If it has an inline fuel filter probably give that a change.

Letting the fuel go empty or all the way low before fill up is a sure shot way to clog the fuel filter really quick. Avoid that :-)

Could be blocked jets as well. Can take them out and clean out with air compressor with small tip like what you pump up a football with.
