   Hi, Ive had my VTS for a few weeks now, when i first get in it from cold it will pull away then loose al power through all gears then clears an rockets off. It has got worse lately an now completly cuts out when the power dies.
   The pipe below the airbox has been remeoved im wondering if this is causing the problem?

   What pipe exactly?
   
   Sounds to me like the coil pack is defunct. Could also be a sparkplug issue. What checks have you done so far?

   Havent tryed anything yet, just looking under the bonnet noticed that just bellow the main airbox there is no main pipe that goes to the grill to allow air in. looking at the manual it seems like quit a bits missing. I will try other things though so any sujestions are good as im not the most mechanically minded person

   The air feed from the grill shouldnt matter aslong as it's getting air in which im guessing it is.
