Problem, help needed
 

Got a few symptoms of a problem with the bike, just wanted to pick some brains......


Seems to be losing power, all over the rev range in all gears....

Only started happenning after the std can went back on because of an MOT, Its been silicone sealed on and I can't shift it atm so can't check if exhaust is the prob...

Mainly get it when trying to accelerate hard, for example m25 yesterday traffic picked up the pace so I tried to accelerate quite hard and the bike just stuttered as if there was no power left... Is there anything I can check?

Its coming upto 12k service so wondered if it may be the plugs? also thought it could be exhaust as i've got a rene airkit and maybe its being stifled ?

well any help is appreciated cos its getting annoying now and I don't want to go on the end of year rideout like it

It sounds like the mixture is too rich when you crank that throttle... have you made any adjustments to your carbs?

Could be weak sparks. Certainly I have had similar symptoms with other bikes and it's been sparks.

However, IKBA.

well I have been getting crap mileage but the airkit hasn't been touched since it was put in....

Plugs i agree it could be, will have to try changing em

If the standard can has'nt been on for a while, perhaps it's collapsed internally, restricting the flow of exhaust?

SOunds like maybe carb icing? is it early in the morning or late at night?

didn't think it was quite that cold just yet though!!! :shock:

defo not carb icing its been doing it 2 weeks all the time

???

hopeyou get it sorted :toss:

Aah... erm SV325?? I guess knackered sparks or leads, or the old water in the front plug?

Not that I'm a mechanic or anything! Hope you get it straightened out dude!

sorry left a post an dont quite know why the little yellow man is gesturing about.

yes you can tell i am fairly new.


sorrrrrrryyyyy.
