Hi Guys...
OK I just came across this cool forum, hope theres someone with some cool knowledge here that can help me ? (gulp!)
OK will explain my problem below :roll:
Summary :
I installed a remote alarm unit, had the airbox off ! .. put it all together, everything worked fine, engine was fine, alarm was fine.. then .. I broke down in town, FIRST symptoms was, bike stalled, and wouldnt pull, was like I was running outta fuel, but there was some in the tank, you could hear it 'sloshing around'. I left the bike in a car park, fetched some fuel, put it in the bike, she started, and I limped her home, ever since, she wont go above 6,000 rpm
Changes Made :
1. I put NEW plugs in the bike just now NGK BR8ES-L I think without lookin at the box, there standard NGK plugs anyway.
2. I cut the coil ends down by about 20mm, and I re-screwed in the ht caps, and put it all back together again.
3. I put redex fuel additive in the fuel to help clean the carbs and I also took off the airbox and used carb cleaner directly in the carbs.
Other Info :
Only other thing I can tell you that might help is, all the four plugs which came out of the bike were jet black ! on the ends ...
When I reved the bike just now in neutral, it kinda hit its limiter around 10,500rpm mark and filled the street with smoke, sometimes when I rev it up to say around half way I get black smoke, sometimes it looks white, but its hard to tell.
Advice :
Am totally gutted I wanted a Exup since I was about 11 years old, I had a Blade, ZZR-1100, GSX etc and this is the only bike to let me down ... I feel like buryin it in the garden at the moment (sigh)... so guys with the info above ? any ideas on what my next step should be after the changes I just made ?
Thanks ....
P.S.I've just checked and there isnt much oil in the bike, .. at all ! I dont suppose that the bike stops revvin past a certain rpm when low on oil to stop it blowin up by any chance ? and could lack of oil / oil pressure stop my bike revvin past 6-7000rpm?
