mental mickey Posted January 18, 2009 Share Posted January 18, 2009 allo steve,i had a 750r for 4 years and they do take some looking after .but the rewards are well worth it.check that your exup cable hasn't snapped or seized,or that the exup valve isn't seized.it sounds like the valve is not opening. hope this helps.

wild foamy Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 are you running an in-line fuel filter?, that may help prevent it sucking shite from the bottom of your tank in future, get some fuel treatment and give it a good blast to clear it out a bit, if it still doesnt get better you may need to strip down the carb and clean out any obstructions, blocked jets e.t.c have you tried it on fresh fuel?, contaminated fuel can give a bike some dodgey symptoms Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
