Sun was out today and no threat of rain so decided to take the 748 to work but ran into problems 1/2 mile up the road.
Bike starts first time & idles fine but as soon as the engine is under load there's no power (feels like it's running on one cylinder but both pipes are hot) - the orther thing is that it won't rev past 6k - have checked plugs and both are fine but am at a loss as to what to look at 1st due to easy starting & idle...any ideas much appreciated!
No work done recently and I'll check the fuel filter although it's only ever had fancy schmansy Shell in it so I'll be a tad miffed that my extra pennies were wasted!
...will also get a fuel system cleaner incase the injectors are gunked up although it's not been sat for long so shouldn't be, gets ridden once a week while my 'busa dries out - been a bit wet this winter!
Had it running earlier while looking for inspiration - seems the lower cylinder is running at idle but not when you open the throttle - if I don't get anywhere over the w/e I'm calling in a mechanic cos I'll probably break sumat if I mess for too long!
6000 miles tops for a filter no matter what fancy petrol you run the bike on! Odd thats its only one pot causing the trouble though. TPS wouldn't do that would it Neil? Give nelly a bell and get it booked in.
