    Hi all. I've recently purchased my first Fireblade 2009 ABS version. Awesome bike however I'm looking for a really knowledgeable Fireblade Mechanic in the Croydon area to have a look at the bike. It's a bit rough or lumpy especially when the engine temps pick up. It also sounds like it's sucking in air possibly from a kink in a pipe or similar. The ABS light comes on intermittently so I've booked it in at Dobles to get a diagnostic test done on the ABS system. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks in advance and safe riding folks.

    Probably someone’s gonna say it so I’ll go first.
    You’re gonna want to rip that ABS out.

    oh and welcome to the nuthouse

    Dobles are good boys, they'll sort you out. Sucking sound? Induction noise or vacuum leak noise?

    @Coda thanks mate. Yeah I've seen the ABS thread. I'm contemplating removing the system

    @Dave86 yeah I have it booked in with Dobles. Bought a few bikes off them over the years. the sucking noise does sound like a leaking air hose or similar.
