Nc29 no power at all feels starved?

Post by 1308lee »

Right, been changing everything, fairings, suspension etc and now it's all back together, went to ride her home, set off fine, revs fine in neutral but as soon as you set off and give it some throttle it feels as if iv ran out of fuel (which isn't the case) I'm guessing its something to do with the airbox as that's the only thing iv taken off to check the air filter, when I got the bike back and took the tank off there was a small pipe had fell out of the air box like an S shape which led to nothing? Does this sound right?

No it just has a regular fuel tap. I'd check all the air box and fuel line connectors might be a kink some where? 8-)

She's running again :) shit in the fuel filter and reconnected one if the 2 pipes that connect to the bottom of the box,

I thought my bike was on fire aswell when I warmed her up and tested her, apparently using WD40 to make your headers look pretty ain't a great idea! Doh!
