Hi All.

I've got a K3 650. Recently the bike has got very jerky on the throttle below 3000 to 4000 RPM. It is proving difficult around town and when cornering. It never used to be like this. I have just done a service and fitted new NGK plugs and cleaned up the leads and plug caps with Powerhouse, (really cool stuff). Anyway this hasn't improved things. When I get a chance I will check the TPS setting. I haven't got a manual yet so I was wondering where the adjustment is for the throttle synchronisation. My guess is this should be adjusted along with the idle speed before the TPS in adjusted. This sort of poor running could also be caused by an air leak inlet side. Has anybody ever experienced throttle bodies coming loose or had failed inlet gaskets?

Any pointer will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Tim.
