Any quick fixes or just live with it? Was a right pain in the arse on my NTV600 last year, already had it cripple the CBR once this year, if there is a solution I would rather do it now than endure the bike more or less stalling every couple of days come January!

Anybody know if my carbs are supposed to be heated or anything on my age CBR ('93) doubt it as the NTV is of the same era and the carbs on that wern't.

Thanks

Yes.
Fuel additive.
Try Silkolene Pro FST.
Yamaha also do an additive that I've used in the past and found very good but it's a bugger to get hold of.

However, do not confuse these with other petrol stabilisers. Stabilisers are designed to stop petrol going off for long term storage and don't do anything for carb icing. For fuel stabiliser I'd try the one from Putoline.

HTH Thumbs Up

Or get a bike with a carb heater.
