COLO R6 Posted October 24, 2007 Posted October 24, 2007 Hey guys, my 01 r6 started sputtering. Right around mid throttle, not accelerating, just holding steady, the bike sputters and feels like it surges. Feels like fuel issue, but when i rip on it i get No Hesitation at all. If it were a fuel issue i figure it would get worse when accelerating. Only acts funny when holding a steady speed. Changed the plugs,(needed to be done anyway) checked the gaps before installing. Still runs exactly the same. old plugs were picture perfect, just worn a bit. 13k miles on it now, getting annoying. Hope someone can help me out. Ignition/timing issue? Carbs just need tuned? Thanks again, Patrick
r1mick Posted October 29, 2007 Posted October 29, 2007 Hi mate it deffo sounds like a carb sync issue have them balanced that should cure it
COLO R6 Posted October 30, 2007 Author Posted October 30, 2007 Hell yeah man, thanks i'll look into it. Sounds expensive, but I guess i'll have to bite the bullet and just get it done.
r1mick Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 The cost is around £50 GBP over here so that probably equates to around the $100 mark
yoda Posted October 30, 2007 Posted October 30, 2007 Does this spluttering happen at any steady thottle speed or just one part of the band? This could be a problem with the advance/retard electrical timing.

yoda Posted October 31, 2007 Posted October 31, 2007 It happens at any steady throttle speed. I think it must be fuel starvation then.
