Fireblade concerns:
(source - BIKE magazine February 1996)
Carbs: Can go out of tune quickly but quickly
fixed with re-balancing the carbs.
Battery: Not strong enough to run alarms etc
without having to be recharged regularly (2 days)
Small rubber boot fitted to underside of the
left carburettor. This occasionally blows off
when the engine is hammered and results in the
motor 'hunting' at tickover.
