11AGUY Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 TORS and Parking Brake removed with elimination kit 32:1 maxima stock pipes with DG silencers fresh bore .20 over Wiseco Carbon Fiber reeds on stock cages just replaced CDI box and coil (with "used") carbs synced all electrical checked carbs rebuilt with Moose rebuilt kits Main Jet 220 Pilot 25 1.5 turns out 3rd (middle groove) on needle issue is i finally got the bike to idle well but will fine tune when i receive the sync tool from FAST next week originally had the screws set 2 turns out but put them in .5 turns and the bike seemed to idle better... gave it a tiny bit of throttle and it sounded good... put the bike in gear and it falls flat on it's face... if i give it a bit more throttle and sort of keep it moving with the thumb throttle, it hesitates move forward, bucks and then dies..... what should I concentrate on, sound like a needle or pilot jet issue completed the worksheet sticky on this thread and it stated position 2-3 for the needle, 200-220 main and 25-30 pilot... I am at 500 feet elevation I was thinking of adjusting the needle to the 4th groove and see how the bike reacted.... Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandking Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 So you cant ride it at all, or can you feather the clutch and get going. If its dying like that it sound electrical and not the carbs. They would have to be way off to not let you ride it at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11AGUY Posted March 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 (edited) So you cant ride it at all, or can you feather the clutch and get going. If its dying like that it sound electrical and not the carbs. They would have to be way off to not let you ride it at all. If I don't feather it and just give it a little gas it just dies... I i feather it and have to keep feathering it, it will go for a little (running like complete dog shit) and then die on me.... checked everything with a DMM and everything is within spec... only thing that is not checking out is carb boots.... I can't get a reading with them attached to the wires... pull the boots and the wires pass the secondary coil test for ohms..... try to check continuity between both ends of plug boots and nothing/..... don't get it because I figured that if they were jacked up the bike wouldn't even idle..... it just sort of peters out due to lack of power, it just doesn't totally cut out any suggestions Edited March 16, 2012 by 11AGUY Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I followed the steps on the electrical FAQ thread that I found on this site.... stator, pick-up coil, harness has continuity and even replaced the CDI and coil for haha's....

Sandking Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Try a different stator, they can test good then when they heat up they fail. Also double check your grounds. The one attached to frame clear of paint and the points the coil bolt to the frame also clear of paint. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigboybanshee Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 To me, it sounds kind of like your clutch isn't adjusted properly....or..... Pull your airbox lid off and the filter out and see if it does the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dahl87banshee Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 If it idles shitty and won't rev sounds like the slides in the carbs are in the wrong carb/ backwards. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvilBanshee Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 Sounds like your clutch is sticking. CHange you oil with oil that is meant for Wet Clutching. MOTUL or Bel RAY. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
