VTR1000F Problem under 5000rpm, engine not even - choking

Wow amazing... thanks a lot for reworking the link. This is really a nice community.

We do our best. Downloading and uploading files is something I do on a daily basis so no big deal to me.

By watching the video, you get the feeling is fat or dry? (too much benz or air?)

I would have rather have seen more of the rev counter and less flicking of the throttle. Give the needle time to rise and fall naturally before giving it another flick. TBH going by the sound on video's can be really misleading it's hard to tell but it sounds OK. But going by the rev counter it seems to be rising nice and sharp. Don't know if hangs or drops before or after idle when coming back down as you didn't give it a chance. LOL You need to get out and ride it and see what she's like under load.

Hi mate,

Can you pull the plugs to check the colour to give a clue if running lean (too much air) or rich (too much benz)?

Have to check if I have the right tool for the plugs. I dismantled my workshop years ago, now I have few screwdrivers around.

Problem is that with old plugs if the bike run fat a while ago, they got black and they stay black.
I should put new plugs.

Cybercarl, in the video you can see that when I give a full turn the engine chokes (notice the rpm in the last 5 secs).
With partial gas the bike is ok.

I'm wondering if I need just to ride it a bit. Tomorrow I get the insurance

I had another listen and yeh there is little stutter there. Get out and ride it for the real test and blow the cobwebs out, but you will likely find that things will be a lot smoother with a standard filter.

I'm impressed. What a bike ;)

Thanks all for the help. It is still not well carburated at the minimum. But for now I will just enjoy it.
The un-even sound while closing the gas feels alot like racing bike ;)
