Popping after lay up

Post by rossman_999 » Sat Feb 05, 2011 9:33 pm

I eventually started my wifes VFR after 3 months of not running, bike is running fine but the exhaust is popping at high revs, almost like its missing but the engine is running fine and during a 20 minute run today was pulling like a train.

As it was running fine before it was laid up i dont think its a jetting issue
As its running and pulling strong I dont think its electrical issue

Any suggestions at all? bearing in mind the bike is running fine

Top the tank up with some fresh petrol & take it for a long ride, should clear it out...

20 minutes was more than enough today as it wasn't exactly warm and the roads were in a right state!

If it's half decent tomorrow I will get properly toged up and go a decent run
