Just to add my two pennarth, it sounds like electrical problem to me, maybe ecu, but would also change plugs, I always put a new set of iridium plugs in my bikes, especially worth doing in your case to eliminate that possibility, get a set from sparkplugs.co.uk.

Right just got back from the Dyno center and there was a problem with the bike. the first round of runs and a confused looking man came out confirming my thoughts it was lacking in power.

A bit of looking around confirmed there was a loose spade connector on one of the injectors, no3 on the bottom rail to be presise. You could see where it had not been seated properly arcing and has caused a bit of burning on the conecters.

It was pushed back in properly and run again, this time sweet as a nut, giving :105.34 BHP at the rear wheel @14,100RPM :):):):

Needless to say i am happy at the bike producing exactly what it should and the problem known/sorted.

I was advised to go to GW and tell them what had happened and get them to replace the injector and connector under waranty!!

A big shout out to Tim Blackmore racing in Bristol, 110% recomendation from me, top bloke. He could have just said yes there is a problem get it sorted but he looked around and found out what was up, and fixed it .

Nice easy fix 8) sometimes it is the smallest thing isn't it!! :)

Did he charge you any extra for the diagnostics/fixing or just the dyno run?

Re: Calling all mechanically minded
 

nope just the 30 quid of the first set of dyno runs:) Top top bloke, knows his sh*t, friendly and helpful.

It places like that i would rather give my money to than GW for servicing.

Re: Calling all mechanically minded
 

Indeed, nice to see somewhere not simply out to make a quick/easy buck :cheers:

Re: Calling all mechanically minded
 

Nice one.

Bit more entertaining to ride now is it? :-P

Re: Calling all mechanically minded
 

just a bit!! ;)

Its like having a new bike again :cool:. Just got to take it to GW to replace the slightly burnt connectors. but that can be done after NW3.5. At least i know if it comes back again the likley culperit. But saying that he Seated the spade connector back in fully, herd it click in place:D .

Must have not been seated properly from the factory?

Re: Calling all mechanically minded
 

Or you been hoiking too many 'mingers' and it popped off on a heavy landing?!!? ;)

Re: Calling all mechanically minded
 

ha ha , i like to stick to the first theory ;)

Re: Calling all mechanically minded
 

Glad you got it sorted in time for the nice warm weather Neio and NW3.5

I'd be surprised if it was a factory mistake. I wonder if GW's would have tinkered with the plugs and dislodged it then. As you say they have a positive click so are totally unlikely to dislodge in normal or extreme use IMO.
