Andy1980 Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Can anyone please shed some light on this! I just got my first R6, it is a 2000 bike with only 7500 miles on it. The bike cuts out when kicking down gears and stopping, the revs drop and it stalls, checked the norm things like plugs and filters, both fine. The pick up on the throttle is spot on and it runs lovely when ticking over in stand, ride it down the street and stop at the end the revs will dip and the bike will cut out. It starts no problem and your ok till the next time you have to slow rite down. Any help would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison Motorsport Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 My guess would be the carbs need a clean and mixtures adjusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy1980 Posted January 5, 2009 Author Share Posted January 5, 2009 alredy checked the carbs and there not sticking what else could be wrong with them? do you think bleeding them would help? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Madison Motorsport Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Have you checked the jets are clear? Also check the fuel filter in the tap under the tank and for any split fuel lines. At higher revs any problem will be less noticable because of the higher fuel flow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
