Bike only wants to idle


Speedie

Recommended Posts

I was riding the day and my bike seems kind of weak on the top end.

I checked the compression and it was 130 to 135 on both cylinders.

I changed the plugs and clean the air filter. Next day, it seemed the same.

I rode about 4 miles and it just loss all power. It was like hitting a wall, but it never died. It only wants to idle, when I give it gas it just blogs down. It's like the choke is on. It smokes more than normal too. I checked my compression and it still at 130 to 135. I changed plugs again. I tried running it with the filter off for a few moments. I found water in the stator side and dryed it out, I check all my connections. It idles fine and starts fine, just does not want to rev, it won't die just acts like the choke is stuck. What else is there for me to look at?

sounds more like a tors problem, try dis connecting the tors unit under the tank on the left side and see if it still has a bog. if that does not fix it I would look at the coil.

There is also a TORS wire that goes to the park brake if you still have one. You have to disconnect that as well. Just follow the wire down from the brake lever until you get to a connector. The main TORS unit is the little black box under the tank, it usually has a triangle shaped connector. Then the wires coming off the top of the carbs.

 

TORS SUCK... it's nothing but problems.....

You don't have to unplug all the TORS connections, just the black box. That definately sounds like your problem.

If its not the tors/parking brake or stator problem, its sounds more like a dirty carb, carb sync problem, air leak, or lean jetting. I would start with the tors suggestions then move on to the carbs. I would check to see if they are in sync. If that doesnt do it, take them off and clean them including the jets. If that doesnt do it I would check your jetting. Cutting out is ususally an indication of lean condition rather than rich situation... When your running fat (rich) your bike will tend to bog (BRRRRRRRRRRRrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrraaaaaaaaAAAAAP). When you are lean the bike will cut out when too much air/throttle is supplied. Colder weather is usually the culprit this time of year. I just went through this myself.

 

Get your bike started and warmed up and then pull the chokes... does it run better or worse?

 

Last problem you may have is an airleak somewhere. I dont know if your running v-force or not but the V2's are know not to have a very good seal...

 

In any case... GET RID OF THE TORS!

Thanks, everyone for the advice. I don't have the TORS or the parking brake anymore. I should of mention that, sorry. I also have a complete MSD ingnition.

I was really wondering if it was that possiblily. This Sunday I'm going to try to work on it some more, so if you guys have any more ideas let me know.

I'm making a list of every to check when I work on it again.

I had the same problem also. when i first got my shee it was butchered up. there are two wires->blackw yellow stripe i think; and they were actually grounded to the frame and had fallen off. after i reconnected to ground she fired up and revved like normal. im pretty sure they were part of the TORS but either way that fixed it. my tors were still on the carbs but all the other components were gone. im not 100% but i think thats your problem.

make sure your plug boots are good.i have seen them do that. they get loose and will not feed spark to the plugs.also check and make sure your flywheel key has not sheered off.my tri-z did that and the flywheel moved a 1/2 inch and would not run worth a crap.also if the the bike sat in a shed or barn for a few weeks,it is a long shot,i have had mice biuld a nest in my silencers,and plug the exhaust.they will ony idle and smoke a lot and will not rev up at all. that is just a longshot,them little critters are lookin for homes this time of year.

I worked on it today and still have the same problem. I've changed gas, check the wires for shorts and reseat the connections. I've took apart the silencers and check them, Cleaned and check the flywheel.

I've run it with out the air cleaner. My next thing I'm going to check are the carbs, but it's hard to believe it could be jetting right and the next day be completely off. A little I could see. I know there still alot I could check, so any ideas guys? I'm about ready to load up my Uzi and have a field day.

Check your reeds. Make sure your carbs are in sync and I know you checked your spark, but did you check the spark in both cylinders? I after all that check your coil. Good luck.

where your plugs wet when you changed them? it almost sounds like lack of fuel, pull your fuel line to the carbs and make sure it's flowing well, if it's not, try cleaning the screens on the fuel valve.

also ckeck that the floats aren't stuck, and they move freely. make sure the needle and seat are flowing good also.
