Lack of power

Post by mavar1ck »

Hi, I am on a trip but my storm keeps losing power then it's alright for a while then will not accelerate above 4k rpm then ok again. I think there may be a small crack in the silencer could this cause this?

Is there a quick fix?

Done 180 miles before problem started shortly after an hours rest.

Next time it does it open the fuel cap and listen for a hiss of air going in. there shouldn't be a hiss, but if there is one it'll be a trapped tank breather.
Try putting a fiver's-worth of Super in it.
It's not falling off, it's an upgrade opportunity.
