Calling all mechanically minded

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 sometimes it is the smallest thing isn't it!!

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

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.

just a bit!!

Its like having a new bike again . 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 .

Must have not been seated properly from the factory?

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.
