Problems at high speeds.
mr self destruct:
When I'm travelling at high (i.e. unrestricted autobahn) speeds, my 600 develops a real reluctance to accelerate.
I'll be doing over 7k rpm and when I open it up it just dies for about a second before picking up again, like I've actually switched the ignition off, which makes overtaking dangerous.
I've had the tank up and checked the fuel lines are in good condition, not kinked or blocked. I've changed the plugs and had it serviced but it makes no difference. The battery is in good condition, TPS is fine (jumping to 5k when tested) so I reckon the next stage is to check the carbs.
I've not checked the rubbers or stripped the carbs down because in my experience with car carbs, any leaking inlet rubbers or sticking needles affect the tickover/low revs more than high revs. Is that wrong though?
The next thing I was going to do is balance the carbs, but before I start I just wanted to know if there's anything obvious I've missed.
What do you think?
slappy:
Fuel filter dirty or partially blocked maybe.
darrsi:
Air filter

Might be worth trying some STP Complete Fuel System cleaner before surgery - love the stuff.

Thanks for the link Tiger just ordered a 400ml bottle on fleaBay. Bike is running fine but it is supposed to help clean and maintain the whole of the fuel system so can only do good, and it will help prep it for an overwinter sleep engine wise. (About 10 to 12 weeks)
Hair dressers car in for a new clutch tomorrow.
