I did with a ZZR11, idled fine, coughed and died when revved, twas the fuel pump and finally went completely in THE MIDDLE OF NO-WHERE...as they do.
Actually pump was fine it was the wiring that had slowly corroded through. :D

There's a free download called Photoscape. Easy to resize images with that

Just open the photos in 'Paint' and re-size to 50% or 75% .....whatever you need. Upload to photobucket and just link the image back here with the [IMG] tag.
