Seems fine now! Haven't really got to run it properly yet but idles stable and doesn't feel like it wants to cut out

Popped it into the garage today - faulty sparks! A not too pleasant but not unreasonable bill for a couple hours trying to diagnose it and I have a running properly bike again thank heavens

Just seen this thanks

I actually don't think I am I've been a miserable shite about my birthday cause things like to go wrong for me

Hi, can have a quick look at it next week, if you want. I'm in poole, or rather penn hill area, if you want to run it over. Would say this weekend, but bloody injured my leg today at West bay, trying to bump start a Honda!!!! And not mine!!! If you do let me know and somehow will get you my address, without posting on here.

Oh awesome! I'm busy this weekend as it's my birthday anywhoo and normally work weekends but living in Bournemouth half the week and dorchester the rest so very back and forth haha! I'll give you a shout if there's a spare 5 minutes we're free!

Anyone mentioned looking at the throttle position sensor adjustment?

I've been keeping this in mind as I've been looking it up. I have heated grips that possibly haven't been used much before also

It was okay when I picked it up but the ride home was v. Short.

Seems it's trying to die anywhere bellow 2000 ish when riding, back firing etc. And having to keep the revs up and constantly think about is a bit shit after a break for myself and finally being on something other than a 125

So when you picked it up from the service, was it running ok then? because you said tickover was set low? and in a service they would have set that?

It was serviced before I was bought it, thing is I ran it a few times in the meantime to get MOT, get restricted etc. and it was fine? Last time being restrictors about a month prior to riding properly.

Fluctuates when auto choke comes off too, which seems to warm up around 1800 1900

Thanks leener someone suggested Redex?

It warms up on autochoke which shuts off and revs drop off. At that point it seems to try stall with tick over any lower. It had a service just before I garaged it (plus only 1900 on the clock so hopefully nothing too wrong).

When I come to a stop with clutch pulled in they drop too low and it tries to stall/does stall if I don't catch it.

Yup ER6n

Got it set to about 1500/600 atm on warming up but seems to drop lower/fluctuate like it wants to cut out when coming to a stop

Ridden for about 180 miles since been sat

Was at 1000 prev but don't know why it would have been that low from prev owner?

Might still be using the dregs of the fuel from before, have added fuel recently though? Turned tick over up a little but still seems to be cutting out :/

After a long stretch garaged unintentionally, finally have the ER on road. Only thing is now I've started using it, it seems to be idling too low, cutting out and dying when stopped and when warming up after autochoke drops off. Obvious answer to this is adjust screw to bring tick over back up, but what could be the reason for this? Don't want to just ignore it if it could become an issue. I don't have much luck with bikes. I just want everything to be okay for once haha! I'm due some good luck... pleaseee.

Anyway, got off on a tangent, suggestions?

When they attempted to steal the cg they cut the fuel pipe. Is this easy to get hold of/replace? Is it one size fits all?

These comments are great

Thanks all x

Not that I intend on acquiring one anytime soon, but the next OH is required to be into bikes can't ever fully understand those who aren't

 

Two years ago I broke up with my ex-fiancee (8 years together). I always thought opposites attracted, she wasn't a bike fan, or even a sports fan and lazy. Wasn't really sure what I was going to do and was a little lost.

I met someone new a while ago, who is genuinely the female version of myself and I've never looked back. Our interests are the same and she is in love with being pillion.

I marry her next year.

Basically, don't be worried if it wasn't right, you don't need to settle for someone. Chin up, move on and take a bike ride to somewhere quiet and grab a cuppa/beer and consider the things to come.

Thank you, this really helped to read! Another day of struggling to start the CG in the rain and sitting in a dingy office anxious and stressed closer to having my beautiful ER6n to enjoy. Might clean it again.

*Didn't* take it for a little evening ride up and down the main roads a couple days back... very in love already. Riding it to its MOT saturday, needs to be MOT'd to be registered in this country, so I gotta get it there somehow right? Hope that'll fly.

Thanks all x

At least you haven't got kids (my assumption)

Go out and get w**kered at least 3 times a week for the next month.

True that!

Ticked one for this week already

1st

Plan some bike trips, have a look at ride out & meets section. Get planning your European bike trip adventure for next year.

2nd

Listen to your favourite music.

3rd

Refer to 1st

Yes I'll plan some mad trips that I can hardly imagine doing !

Finally over, it's for the best but still bloody hurts! Still gonna be a few more weeks before I can ride my bike so feeling very lost. Cheer me up?

30mph in my test but I did it when you still did the emergency stop on the road.

I had a nice dry road, unlike my Dad when he did his test who had to do it on wet leaves.

 

What? They don't do it on the road these days?

We just rode round the block until the examiner jumped out from behind a tree and so long as you didn't run him over you passed.

Legend tells of the guy who rode round and round the block for hours until he ran out of fuel. When he walked back to the test centre it turned out the examiner had jumped in front of the wrong bike and got himself flattened, so he was carted off to hospital leave the candidate cruising round the block blissfully unaware of the accident.

Drinking and absolutely dying at this

hahaha don't worry I get it a lot

 

Lucky girl!

Waheeeyyy :')

think i was 61 through the trap but kept accelerating till i got the hand up, it was a good stop and a more realistic experience for all concerned , my instructor thought i had mucked it up as i was so close the the examiner which he could see from the viewing area, the examiner suggested i stop accelerating once i had gone through the trap for the avoidance test.

Snap

Must admit the kph is strange!!
