Post by tony1680z »

hi i have just bought a suzuki gsxr 400 and i have a problem, the bike will start quickly the first time its started in the day but after traveling approx 2 miles it looses power and struggles to idle or accelerate quickly, i dont have a huge knowlege of bikes but dont think its anything like pistons because it runs spot on for about the first 2 miles of every day, if anyone has any idea i woulde really appriciate it
