My 4 pots on my K5 600 are MUCH better than my mates 6 pots on his K2 1000, for some reason. I keep telling him he must have a problem with them surely.

Ah right thats good to know then but bad for him as we thought there was something major wrong with his. If they are working as they should then i cant believe the improvements that the new set up has then. His are proper scary crap when breaking from speed.
