Little rev then dead, very confused...

@ Neo

No I haven't tested properly for an air leak yet, I was going to but I couldn't find the easy start in the garage. You say anything flammable will do? Maybe wd40 or gt85 or is that not going to work? Yeah the rubbers are the ones I got with the bike, I have an rvf set that I put in petrol a while ago to loosen off, I'll try those before buying more

@ Triniriders

All the earths are good and tight and were cleaned off when I got the bike. It was having battery drain issues which turned out to be the Cdi, but I had cleaned and checked all earths to eliminate that problem

If they've gone hard enough that you need to soak them in something there no good.

Out of stock at davidsilvers (£8.10 inc VAT), £42 on wemoto, £9 each from lings honda and euros 9.50 (£7.85) each from cmsnl plus 13 euros shipping.

Expensive. How good are davidsilvers at getting out of stock items in? Next option would be Lings, but it's so expensive for a round bit of rubber.

I go to my local small shop - tey look up the fiche ref, they order them - takes a couple days at most..

Can you not use your local bike shop?

Don't have a local bike shop unfortunately. The only place that slightly caters for bikes near me is Halfords and Allwoods. But I don't think either can order in bike parts, and would probably whack £20 on top for the privilege anyway.
