Re: bike running like crap!

Have you over tightened the choke cable?? (trey slackening it off)

Is there old fuel in the tank/carbs??

Re: bike running like crap!

Fit New plugs (compression check??)

Check all ya electrical conections (maby a bad earth)
Also does that model run stick coils or coiul packs with leads, If packs & leads check they pluged in the right way round

Is it blowing (FROM THE HEADERS??)
Inlet leak (carb rubbers)

What did you get welded??
Did oyu disconnect ALL the electrics??

think your right about carb rubber boots leaking,think there was air getting in ,found something when i searched on google last night, dug something up on the kawi foums with someone having the same problem,took em off then tightened them up real tight,seemed better when i started it yesterday,gona test ride tonight so hopefully that was the problem ,yeah i welded/plated the frame at work cus it cracked on the spar,the frame was totally stripped so no electrics were connected. thanks for the help mate


noticed your from uk too mate ,theres a uk section on here ,thought id mention it just incase you didnt know https://www.stuntlife.com/forums/435-united-kingdom
