Running Issue

#1 Post by podman » Mon Apr 03, 2017 12:55 pm

Any help or advice appreciated with my 500 please.

It seems I have an intermittent running issue with my bike, sometimes it will run and rev out fine, pull as it should and have a great kick to it but Sunday just past, whilst still starting first kick and running well until 6k, pass that it feels flat, doesn't want to pull and has no kick to it.

Occasionally a burst of power will kick in, performance will resume as normal and then it will fade off again, 5 mins later,I may be luck to receive another burst of power.

I was initially thinking fueling but after the last ride out, im beginning to think its more electrical, its like another cylinder is chiming in or the power vales are open.

Over Winter the bike has had a carb refurb and set up(power vales, oil pump), I also replaced the fuel tap with a new Yam item just last week as it was leaking.

I was initially thinking of replacing the plug caps(originals are fitted) along with new plugs (they have maybe only done around 100 miles thou) in case one or more caps are past it.

Any suggestions welcome.

Thanks.
