Bogs down at 7k??

Post by Sam » Mon Jul 12, 2010 11:32 pm

I took the bike for test ride after a long time sat in the garage. When it got the 7k it just bogged down.

I had cleaned the carbs a while ago before i stopped using her so im going to give them a good clean again but im wondering, apart form the carbs, what else could cause this? Something elcetrical? Could be dirt in the fuel or the fuel tap, what else?

Thanks.

The same thing happened to mine,been in the garage for 2 years,had a good run with her few days ago,runs clean as a whistle and revs clearly,go on the motorway and kick the shit out of it for few minutes.

I dont think a good thrash will do the trick, it was really bogging down at 7k.
