Posted October 24, 200717 yr 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
October 29, 200717 yr Hi mate it deffo sounds like a carb sync issue have them balanced that should cure it
October 30, 200717 yr Author 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.
October 30, 200717 yr The cost is around £50 GBP over here so that probably equates to around the $100 mark
October 30, 200717 yr 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.

October 31, 200717 yr It happens at any steady throttle speed. I think it must be fuel starvation then.
