A wee runing problem

Post by fabiostar »

. now first of the bike if going better than ever. drilled airbox. carbs as they have been for over three years. pipes have been changed for high level scorpians so alls good. this problem has never happen on the road but noticed it at the last track day. and only at one corner :eh: . its at a hairpin at the end of a long straight ok. shut of from top gear down to second and when i open the throttle i either get nothing for about 3 seconds then bang everything :o or i get a stutter like a da da da bang everything again. can these bikes suffer in some way from starvation? if i kinda go down the gears a bit slower and gently roll it on outa the bend its not so bad but still there.

pretty much every lap. kinda annoying after passing somebody then they ride into the back of you cause your sitting not going forward?

filter.oil.plugs everything is new and no changes other than pipe change.

its hard to tell if it sounds like and engine flooding or starving for fuel
the older i get,the faster i was :lol:

It may be that your whole purpose in life is simply to serve as a warning to others.

:thumbup:

The oddest thing cropped up a few months ago when an Aussie popped up out the blue on one of the VTR facebook groups - selling much the same hose relocation stuff at silly price along with the claim it somehow boosted horsies to an incredible level. Lloydie will remember as it prompted some interesting discussion and prompts for him to provide dyno proof. IIRC The Aussie (offering to tune folks VTRs to 140bhp or so) had cribbed it from a local ol' boy tuner (genuine I believe) and turned this simple factory alteration into a snake oil performance mod completely misunderstanding what it was all about. I wonder what happened to him.

Fit a fuel pump, problem gone, easy.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
