mck08 Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 :sad: So the story goes I just purchased a 6mth old '08 shee in mint condition ( 30 hours )- good upgrade from Blaster and after my 2nd only ride today, I'm convinced she aint the shee she should be. On the gas and up it for the rent- Perrrrfect. However, we ride a lot of forestry trails and when on and off the throttle a bit it is very doughy down low or on small throttle openings. She dies a bit when you decel in any gear and then when you accelerate again, it has a noticeable flat spot then comes on hard not smooth. Also noticed on low speed manouvers it can backfire sometimes. The bike is completely stock and did go back to a dealer for its first service (20 Hours) where the records show new plugs were fited etc. It feels to me like the bike runs out of fuel at these times i'm explaining. Does anyone have any ideas on this- I'm sure this isn't right and makes it impossible to tinker around and take my 4 year old son for a ride. Look forward to any suggestions before I start fault finding. mck08 Quote
shee4speed Posted July 20, 2008 Report Posted July 20, 2008 sounds like maybe just your jetting is off a bit.Does it rev up and get on the pipes? How's your air filter look? Quote
mck08 Posted July 21, 2008 Author Report Posted July 21, 2008 sounds like maybe just your jetting is off a bit.Does it rev up and get on the pipes? How's your air filter look?Air filter is like brand new, yes it certainly gets on the pipes - up top or full throttle is no problem at all - All the problems lie in small throttle openings and deceleration. I'm thinking more of carb synchronisation and the TORS system. Can the TORS system have an electrical effect on the engine - ie cut spark or alter timing?? Like I say the bike is very new and I don't think the guy before me has messed with anything and I don't think it would come out of the factory with jetting too far out. Maybe the dealer messed it up at the first service?? Quote
blowit Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 Removed snorkel from air box lid and adjust the parking brake. I worked in a dealership for years and ran into this before. Parking brake has a rev limiter and can cause this. The TORS problem generally shows up near idle conditions only. At that they would only need "adjusted" and not "broke" as others would lead you to believe. If all else fails, the carbs may need to come off and get cleaned. We have seen packing grease and or sediment in new carbs causing problems. Brandon Quote
shee4speed Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 If the TORS was the problem your bike wouldnt even rev. Adjust your needle one clip up and clean your carbs.Hows the plugs look? Quote
05.Banshee.SE Posted July 21, 2008 Report Posted July 21, 2008 I heard they come jetted wrong from the factory. Quote
