CORRIEBOY Posted July 7, 2011 Posted July 7, 2011 After having the bike off the road for a year (lack of work , money etc )finally got new front tire and mot and thought yahoo Anyway after a few miles R6 started running on and off 4 cylinders to 3 and was gradually getting worse not really bad as bike would still rev just lacked a bit of power until 4th cylinder kicked in again I left bike in garage over the year with a little fuel in tank but never drained carbs so should I try a fuel cleaner through tank if so could anyone recomend one or is it best take bike to dealers or any ideas appreciated
Moderator Airhead Posted July 7, 2011 Moderator Posted July 7, 2011 Most likely blocked jets in the carbs . I had this on my Bandit, two carbs had blocked pilot jets. Find which cylinders have trouble by touching exhaust headers with a wet rag, the ones that are cool wont hiss, these are the carbs to work on.
