EmpirE231 Posted November 8, 2003 Report Posted November 8, 2003 ok this problem happened a couple of times out and I'm just wondering what it is??? I was riding around cruising and everything was running fine, then I get on the gas and the power just gets robbed! (I'm thinkin wtf?) so I lay of the gas and it's running smooth, then I get on it again and it does the same thing... I keep giving it gas and put one hand back to feel the exhaust, and only one of them was working... which leads me to the conlusion that it started running on one cylinder when I went past half throttle, so whats the problem? I checked the gas and it was over 1/4 full, so I went back to camp and filled it up and it ran fine the whole time until I got low on gas again? is this normal or??? if not, whats the problem? Quote
wesw Posted November 8, 2003 Report Posted November 8, 2003 just a couple of questions. does it pop when you mash on it or just bog down and lose a cylinder. what is your setup. air filter etc. have you cleaned the filter. mine would fall on its ass and act like it would flood out found out that it was the outerwear full of filter oil adn wouldnt beathe. if it pops you might check the plugs tops make sure they are tight and the caps. a friend had one that run like ass, and poped when he got on it. found out it was one of the caps the wire wasnt making contact with plug.

EmpirE231 Posted November 9, 2003 Author Report Posted November 9, 2003 no it doesn't bog or pop, it just feels really weak because it goes to one cylinder. that time out, the k&n filter was brand new, factory oiled. plugs were brand new and spark semmed to be good. I just pulled dof the carbs to check the reeds, no cracks or anything, just a little stained. but the was some strange black residue inside the ports?? it kinda looked like dryed, chipped out spray paint?......strange Quote
Ultimateduner Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 This happened to my cousin's bike at the dunes, what you need to do is get the cylinder looked at and determine whether it is clogged. If it is get it cleaned out and it will work great. Quote
lian Posted November 10, 2003 Report Posted November 10, 2003 i had somthing like that were the banshee would fee as its only running at low rpms it had to do with the parking break or somthing there was a defect with the 97 models and up but all i had to do was loosen the nuts on the back break and retighten and all was normal or if it feels like it is bog somthing might be wrong with your engine not getting enough air i hope it helps Quote
