GK76 issues

Post by josh7019 »

Hi, this is my first post on here so hello everyone! I recently bought a gsxr 400 as my first big bike, but it has a big flat spot, also it smokes sometimes too, it starts up fine and gearbox is smooth but was wondering if anyone could help, cheers.

hi again , im trying to work out if my bike has a issue or if it is just normal ,but my bike has a flat spot around 6rpm to 8rpm but if throttle held in right postion it goes throught it , im not sure if carbs are out off sync for that or mixtures ect ? second issue iv found is bike pulls upto around 90 very quick but then it dies off iv got it to 105 but i didnt feel like it had much after that ,is that normal for gk76 (only bike i can compare to is a 125 2stroke with a few mods and that would get to around 125 so say on clock anyway) and finally gearbox ,4th - 5th -6th gears apear extremely close ratio and cant find neutral when bike is warm ? iv tried finding threads on these issues but having trouble finding answers ! any help would great

First check the bike is not restricted to 33 bhp.
problems selecting neutral are usually old oil or loose clutch basket.
