Low rev misfire

Post by denisblackvtr »

Hello to all the good people here. I have a problem that I hope someone help me with. My storm hasn't been used for 4 years, I've put her back on the road having done all the usual things. Now when I'm going from a closed throttle to on the throttle it just bogs down. I've used a couple of tanks of fuel and redex but no better. It seems fine if I keep revs above 6000 rpm. All help will be appreciated. Denis

You need to strip and clean the carbs , pay special attention to the pilot jets as they will be blocked

There is an alternative to cleaning the carbs.......
Ride the damn thing :D

No bike engine likes sitting around for more than a couple of months.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
