The saga continues.....so this weeks fun and games!
Whale...everything you suggested done. Everything is ok. Worth mentioning that this was happening before I replaced coils, plugs.
Falcon....I have worked my way along the wiring loom. Admittedly one or two wiring blocks I haven't got into yet but main ones checked. No corrosion and a good spray of wd40.
So...I rode upto Edinburgh from York on Friday and back again Saturday via the scenic route. Generally the bike rides well with a strong midrange and screaming top end. The little stutter around 2500 k is still there but I think it's less pronounced so I am leaning towards perhaps an emulsion tube hole leading to a jet perhaps being slightly blocked and riding it is starting to clear the blockage. However...after running pretty well for about 150 miles without warning the bike coughed,spluttered and dropped to a triple,then a twin and then nearly died before limping along slowly for about 10 minutes. It then went back to all four and ran pretty much as it should for around a further 50 miles. The following day the same thing happened after only 30 miles riding but this time it only lasted 4 minutes! I am leaning towards Falcons suggestion of a intermittent electrical fault being the culprit and I just haven't identified it yet. I found a post on here on a fazer 600 with similar issues and it turned out to be a faulty regulator even though the battery wasn't draining. My battery is fine and I have a spare regulator so I might give that a go. It can't hurt trying that. So as you can see gents a little further forward in that we seem to have two separate issues identified. Fuelling...getting there. Winter may see a ultra sonic clean of the carbs until then I will live with it or with use it might clear. Electrical...somewhere the pesky fault is hiding and I just have to identify where. Time allowing I will try and attack the loom again this week armed with wd40, a electric testing meter and a swear box! On top of everything else the fork seals on my Big Bang r1 have blown! Grrrrrr! Got a beautiful original red and white 1998 4xv r1 for sale though if anyone is desperate to rid themselves of their money and help fund my projects. :lol
