workers85 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 Been out on my 2000 R6 earlier today, all was well untill i started giving it some grief then it just lost power and was spluttering sounding like a twin and cutting out when i was stopped i also noticed that the temp was lower than usual..... i stopped the bike left for a bit then when i got back on it was okay then just kept happening every now and then!!! Does anyone have a clue what it could be?? It seems like plugs so will try that tomorrow!! Any help would be much appreciated!! Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TazR6 Posted August 8, 2008 Share Posted August 8, 2008 My guess is a plug or two have died (if not firing, there is no detination, so less heat), or a coil or two have expired. Former is a pain to change, the latter is much much easier. Either way, its nothing serious. I doubt it anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MEAN 1 Posted August 9, 2008 Share Posted August 9, 2008 either your plugs are fouled or have given up , possibly your fuel is gone off . i'd go over your electricals & fueling , if nothing else get it checked out by a motorcycle mechanic ..

It could be a head gasket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
workers85 Posted August 10, 2008 Author Share Posted August 10, 2008 just had the bike apart and noticed that the fuel line after the inline filter had a big kink in it!! Changed the pipe now and it seems ok gonna take it for a blast when the weather clears up and see if its cured!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
