banshee9 Posted December 17, 2007 Report Posted December 17, 2007 Ok Here is the issue. When I start my bike, (after it sat for about a 8 months with old gas in it) it actually will kick over and run. My issue is when I give it throttle, I boggs down but still will run. It wont rev at all just idle. Its a 2000 and very stock except with pipes. It ran fine til I broke the swingarm and let it sit for way too long with gas in it. Its never been serviced at all since it was at the dealership so I am on a mission to get it running properly and to never let get to this point again. Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated Thank you Aaron Quote

Also check your coolant and add or replace it. Edited December 17, 2007 by CombatTalon2 Quote

sheerocks Posted December 17, 2007 Report Posted December 17, 2007 good call, never a bad idea, especially when they are just a couple bucks each. That would be my guess on the plugs. Drain the fuel and swap the plugs. Quote
