Can anyone diagnose or suggest what I should look at for some 'odd' running on my Supa5 250/1?
When riding along with the rev counter showing 3000rpm as I went to accelerate (in top gear) the bike 'hesitated' and seemed like it was going to die. I let the revs drop back to 3000rpm and the bike ambled along as normal. I tried the same thing again and once again it hesitated and 'fluffed' ( if that the right word) as I tried to gather pace...dropping back to steady 3000rpm and all was ok and bike seemed ok at lower revs too. The problem seem to be as the throttle was opened up.
I had filled up with fuel about 5 miles previously and had added Putoline Synthetic (I think) 2T oil using the measure in the cap. Now I may have had a senior moment
and added a capful too many (it was definately more than less, ooops 
); would this result in such symptoms?The fuel pipe did have a 'plastic in line filter' and I wondered if that might be to blame...so have swapped that pipe for a new piece of fuel hose (without the filter)...
There was fuel coming out of the fuel pipe when it's its in the 'ON' position but not sure it was 'gushing forth' but then have never looked before so wasnt sure what to expect.
My guess is 'fuel' starvation at a 'more wide open' throttle but wonder if the symptoms I have described are familiar to anyone.
The tank and carb had been cleaned out some time ago (a few weeks) so they seem to be 'rust/clog free' and recently in the last week have done around 250miles on the bike so it seems ok (apart from on one run the exhaust ring nut 'loosening itself' although thats all done up tight now.
Any diagnosis or what to look at as a likely cause; riding around at 3000rpm is all very well but a few more revs might be nice (especially in the rare sunshine we have just had in the UK instead of all this 'wet drought we are having!).
