Same feeling hear Ian, which is why I suggested it. I was sorting a pickup sensor issue on a friends 750 and it would start, idle on one cylinder. It sounded sluggish, but was not "immediately" apparent that it was the problem. Friend thought it was just "cold-natured". Not until, I rode two up with him to try and feel the problem. The sensor was on its way out so it happened intermittently. As we pulled up a grade, it went out and it felt like somebody just threw the anchor out when we suddenly transformed from a twin to a thumper, but it was still running/surviving on the one cylinder.
Point is, some people may not recognize a cold cylinder unless it is pointed out. If Andre is losing power, its more than a bent lever, air in the line or slipping clutch problem.

It's funny, my Elefant 900ie had been standing when I tested it and it was a flat as a flat thing. Absolutely pathetic. Some years previously I had an '89 750 Sport which went on to one pot (it lost a black box) and it still pulled OK and it took someone else riding it to draw my attention to the lack of power. The again I'm just insensitive. :-)
