NC29 - Loss of Power
Having a bit of an issue with my standard NC29.
It had a service recently, before which it refused to idle at a steady rate. Found out that one spark had been firing intermitantly or not at all and was seized in bore.
New plugs were put in at the time and ever since it idles fine but in 5th and 6th gear at around 11,500 rpm it is just refusing to pull much higher than 11,750 max, top speed downhill with a tailwind is 120 on speedo.
The bike is wearing original clocks but with a converter so whilst clock says kph it reads in MPH, therefore the Jap restriction should have been bypassed.
Anyone have any ideas or experienced the same?
