rtcc Posted February 9, 2008 Report Share Posted February 9, 2008 Ok, I need to see if I can explain this. For the most part the shee runs amazing. I finally feel like I have the jetting dialed in and everything. Has lots of power and never misses a beat EXCEPT! Every now and then, like might be today or tomorrow or could happen next week I will get a spudder in the mid throttle area. It doesnt even seem to be temprature related or anything. Thats the best way to explain it I guess is just a spudder with no power. If I power through it the topend seems fine, but it wont go away. Now, its wierd cause if I shut it off for say 10 minutes and go ride again it is fine. Oh also, it never does this right away it is always after around 15 minutes of really hard riding. I let it warm up and all that, so there is no way it is just getting up to temp. I pulled the plugs and they do seem pretty pale in color, but that is about 2 months of riding on them in all different temps, so I dont want to count them, but this is the only reason I think I am lean. I thought maybe I am rich on the needle jet, cause thats how it acts but wouldnt it be rich right when I start it up? Why would it take so long to happen? I also sprayed around all the boots and everything to make sure there isnt an airleak and all checked out. Could reeds be another factor? I still have the stock ones and I would say it is time to change them since they are from 96! lol. Im pretty stumped guys, any help is appreciated. I dont have time today but I was gonna try messing with the needles and see it that helps, but it happens so randomly I dont know if I will be able to pinpoint what has fixed it. thanks guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rtcc Posted February 10, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 theres a start...you cant ride the same jetting year round, gotta fatten up in the winter and lean it out in the summer Right, I have it jetted for around 30 degrees. I havent ridden in it much colder than that but there was a 20 degree day or two in there. When its in the 30's it runs freakin insane. I have kept it like this because I knew that if it was a 50 degree day like today it will be rich, so I figured it would be alright. I keep thinking that I am just rich on my needles but I dont understand why it just starts in the middle of a ride and not right away. Thats what is stumping me.

Michael Jackson Posted February 10, 2008 Report Share Posted February 10, 2008 i could be wrong, but from what ive read around the forums, when the bike runs good untill you get goin and it warms up, its usually something electrical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
