Posted August 23, 200816 yr hi guys, this is really an ongoing problem, but now its got me terified of riding the bike. before i sepnd heaps on it just wanted some advice. my bike has a race exhaust on it with no baffle, im sure it hasnt been jetted but im told this may not be the problem. what happens is when i pull away on a flat eaven surface its giving me delayed power. i pull back throttle, power comes a second later. if i try to pull away at an angle or on a cambre it just stalls or i have to rev the tits off it to get it going. both not really fun when a car is coming at u from the side! ive been told to fix the plugs, carbs, air filter, clutch...ect. anyone recon they can pinpoint it? or direct me to a trusted garage in the south west region, i live in bristol and i dont want to go too far. cheers for any input david

If it has the original airbox try running it with out the airfilter to see if it makes a difference (may need cone filters fitted). Check the plugs as well coz aftermarket parts (like exhausts) can make the bike go through ignition/carburation system parts like nobodys business.
