Post by EmilyJaneNA »

heya .. tis Emily from Australia , I recently got a 1997 VTR1000F Firestorm , and now it has problems !!!. first up..starter transfer cog , its broken the press fit
and I cant afford a new one atm , anyone got a quick and easyish fix for it ? ...also on a hot day after riding I jump back on and fire it back up to go down
the street it ran fine till I tried to accelerate hard ..... it misfired bad till I backed off the throttle , ive checked the fuel lines and tap , and the vacuum thingy on the fuel tap too, any help would be awesomeness!!! thankies :D
