yeah... i've an inline filter between the tank and the carbs...why do you think there's a problem with the fuel system.the fuel pump is delivering the right pressure, all the 4 carbs have been balanced, and the filter is clean.Still not able to understand what the problem is. Do u think may the the problem lies in the coil......

Have you checked your float heights?

I had problems with the bike jerking around a bit and reset all the floats and it sorted it.

Might be worth checking.
