bonzai272 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 I bought a 06 about 3 weeks ago. its all stock minus dealer installed t6 exhaust and jetting. I havent even taken it out riding yet, only firing it up every weekend or to cruise around the neighborhood horse trails. today I pulled it out and its only running on the left cylinder. i thought the plug might have been fouled so i replaced it with a new one with no luck. I have swapped the spark plug wires but the right one still isnt firing. I have done a search and found some simlar problems on older units but the solutions dont seem to apply to this one since its only 3 weeks old. WTF?!!?

bonzai272 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 tube seems to be fine. the choke lever goes into the left carb then a rubber tube connects it to the right carb. that rubber tube is snug between both carbs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BansheeKid15 Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Is the cylinder getting fuel? maybe your main jet is clogged? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzai272 Posted June 29, 2007 Author Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 Is the cylinder getting fuel? maybe your main jet is clogged? im sure it is...its brand new. there isnt even 2 hours run time on this thing. it still has the dealers fuel in it....maybe it was bad or contaminated? hmmm maybe ill just take it back to them since its still in warranty. this sucks.

No Limit Powersports Posted June 29, 2007 Report Share Posted June 29, 2007 what jetting did they put in it?? Are the carbs out of sync?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
headsup Posted June 30, 2007 Report Share Posted June 30, 2007 I bought a 06 about 3 weeks ago. its all stock minus dealer installed t6 exhaust and jetting.

Can you take it to the dealer for checkout.Could be several things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, you got a misconception and a reality to deal with here. Misconception: Just because it is new doesn't mean theres not something wrong. There very well can be a main jet clogged or something not assembled right, especially since the dealer had it apart to do the jetting. Reality: You should have a 90 day warranty on this thing, take it in and make the dealer fix it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzai272 Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 (edited) a lil update in case you guys have any other thoughts. I let it sit for a while since i posted this and today i went to fire it up again to see if anything changed. immediately a couple little pieces of material came from the pipe of the non-working cylinder. These lil pieces are redish/brown in color with a darker center. Its semi-hard and flexible like a rubber but can be pulled apart easily. It smells like fuel but that could be because it came from the pipe i guess. It reminds me of like a liquid sealant but i have no clue what it could be. I put the original plug back in since it wasnt fouled but before i put it back in, i checked spark....has plenty of spark to it. I also figured maybe the dealers fuel was bad. I drained it all out and it seemed to be clean, i checked inside the tank and no debris or anything. I went ahead and mixed and put 2 clean gallons back in it but no luck. I removed the air filter to check slide function and both are good. Im stumped. Edited July 3, 2007 by bonzai272 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzai272 Posted July 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 shoot, one more thing..... is the choke on this a vacuum choke? the tube connecting between the carbs is just a vacuum hose. Maybe its not getting fuel for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
. Posted July 3, 2007 Report Share Posted July 3, 2007 chances are that is sealant of some sort from somewhere. Do you see any sealant around your intake at all? Maybe your pipe is clogged? I'd take it back to the dealer and be like wtf did you do to my bike? If you havent touched anything on it....DONT....its all on them so far They should make it right. Make sure you show them the rubber pieces. Be cool with them and they'll probably be cool with you. There isnt really to much they can fuck up without digging into the engine. See if they can make it right, and then come here to make it actually run right. If the dealer doesnt have a mechanic with a banshee or at least a 2 stroke....they are gonna be fishing almost as much as you right now....but at least they know what they did when they put the equipment on.

bonzai272 Posted July 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 just an update: took it into the dealer. turns out the idiots who put the jet kit on it didnt screw in the pilot jet enough and it backed itself out and fell out. all better now what should i do to it next? haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
. Posted July 8, 2007 Report Share Posted July 8, 2007 next thing I would do to it is go over it with a fine tooth comb because the dealer touched it Actually, get some vforce reeds or some boyeson dual stage epoxy reeds. It'll give you much much better throttle response over stock, and make your shee much more rideable, First thing I noticed after I put them on is that it went where I wanted it to, when I wanted it to when I hit the throttle.
