Its got to be the emu - surely! :geek:
Well i hope it is - every nc23 owner needs an emu in their life - if it is, that is a quality bit of kit.

i was keeping an eye on it to see how much it's worth and offered him £120 for it, he told me to piss off and if I insisted on paying him for it he'd take £50 :up:

Got everything sorted and with a little gentle coaxing (read: called it every name under the sun until it started :lol: ) it burst into life after throwing a couple of 4 foot flames out it settled down nicely :)

Much better to ride, throttle response is better, and there's a marked increase in power, pulls much harder in every gear and it threatens to lift the front on power in 2nd under hard acceleration a bit aswell
