He went to start it once we got back (i was in the house) and he said that the bike was giving some issues when starting, but it did start.
He then wanted to go for a ride, so we went. I noticed the power still wasn't really there and as we rode it seemed to get worse. I had the throttle WIDE OPEN at 30 MPH in 3rd gear and the bike was only inching forward.
We got back and I had him ride it, he concurred that the bike has no power. It's almost as if it's firing on one cyl. But both exhausts were hot and had decent pressure coming from them.
We are both stumped.
On another side note it looks like there is a little bit of smoke coming out of the exhaust, i'm sure it's somewhat normal. Again, it's a very slight amount.
Any ideas?  |
stop using 91 just put in regular. Also now it sounds like a clogged carb. If you start it and it will rev to 14k with out trouble but as soon as you try to ride it will bog down its clogged.
