Bryan; thanks mate - much appreciated.

rc46; I'll give that a go next time I'm out. I've never given it a bit of throttle on re-startup as I've never had to do it when starting it up from cold

nsrmonkey; yeah I actually do try to starve the bike of fuel before I kill it, but it heats up quite quick so I don't let it idle long enough to stall it.

Thanks for all your input guys.
