Condor Posted July 29, 2007 Share #3 Posted July 29, 2007 Might be the boost sensor isn't functioning. Or.... synced your carbs lately?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny84 Posted July 29, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted July 29, 2007 nope i havn't messed with the carbs yet. bike ran and my car broke down so i'm trying to avoid working on something on the bike that might leave me walking the 40 miles to work. I assumed it was just cruddy carbs but wanted to know how far off my bike is from the norm on the forums Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed it was just cruddy carbs but wanted to know how far off my bike is from the norm on the forums Toss in a can of Sea Foam with the next fill up. Can't hurt anything and if there is any crud in there it'll clean it out. Syncing carbs is not a big deal if you know someone near by that has a Carbtune II.

Marcarl Posted July 30, 2007 Share #6 Posted July 30, 2007 With 2 up I have no problem with 1200 rpm, but it will take off from idle, 1000, if I'm carefull. Normally I just clear the carbs with a little blip on the throttle and we're away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GeorgeS Posted July 30, 2007 Share #7 Posted July 30, 2007 If you need that much rpm just to get going, you got a problem. start with the SEA foam. Drain Carb bowls. Drain gas tank, Replace plugs and wires. ( and caps ) Check setting of the Idle Mixture needle valves. Sync the Carbs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SilvrT Posted July 30, 2007 Share #8 Posted July 30, 2007 With 2 up I have no problem with 1200 rpm, but it will take off from idle, 1000, if I'm carefull. Normally I just clear the carbs with a little blip on the throttle and we're away. Pretty much the same for me. I'm wondering...if you need 3500rpm to pull away from a stop, mebbe you're starting out in 3rd gear?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
