Big Bird Posted October 30, 2010 Posted October 30, 2010 Hi everyone. Im new to the forum and to riding. Passed my test at the end of August and have an XJ600 Divvy, which I ride everywhere and love. It has a couple of little niggles, one of which being it does not idle very well, and another being it looses power at low revs. Can anyone shed any light on possible causes please? Thank you.

Good garages will display your old plugs ,old brake pads etc, Thanks blackhat. I actually changed the plugs and filter myself when I got the Bike in July.
Big Bird Posted October 31, 2010 Author Posted October 31, 2010 Hi Guys. Thanks for all your comments, I guess I should have started by listing the things I have done already. Might have been useful!! I also wondered if it was being starved of fuel, so I took the fuel pump out and tested it ( with assistance! )as someone said the pumps are rubbish on this model, but its actually very efficient. All been a useful experience, as I've learned a lot, but still frustrating.
