webi Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 right my yb100 seems to pull nicely in 1st and 2nd and 3rd in 3rd gear it tops out at 40-45 if i change into 4th it will either stay at the same speed or drop speed i took it to a bike shop and they said it does not need a rebuild so i was just wondering if anyone on here could help also when i am riding it it feels like it hesitates only for like half a second sometimes like you let off the throttle and put it back on quick.
chris66 Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 i take it this bike will have points. have you checked the adjustment and condition.my brother used to have a fizzy and the points needed adjusting regularly to keep it running well . chris

wild foamy Posted October 17, 2010 Posted October 17, 2010 if its hesitating i would be looking at tunings, check the colour of your spark plug electrode.
webi Posted October 17, 2010 Author Posted October 17, 2010 last time i looked i know it was running rich because the spark plug was black sooty not oily i took the baffle out today but havent been far enough to see if any improvement can the police do you for riding without a baffle?
Moderator Cynic Posted October 17, 2010 Moderator Posted October 17, 2010 can the police do you for riding without a baffle? Short answer Yes. As far as it goes the exhaust is THE critical component on these engines. Minor exhaust issues can rob masses of power. If you lose 2-3 hp from something when you only have 8 or 9 to start with its going to hurt. You MUST get the exhaust to seal properly, if not the bike wont be running properly as instead of drawing unburnt charge back into the cylinder you will pull in air which will mean your bike running lean at the most critical point in the power. I will also cause hesitation.

webi Posted October 17, 2010 Author Posted October 17, 2010 it is blowing from the left hand side of this exhaust where it connect to the rest of the pipe http://www.wemoto.com/bikes/Yamaha/YB_100_E/87-94/picture/Silencer_-_Pattern/
