Balancing. Also check everything is tight. I was going to say reject tire but that would show up on balancing

Also colder intake temparature increases power.......here we go. Not looking at this thread anymore. More cc = more power, unless...

This thread could get messy Don't forget compression ratio

I was thinking, how does a 600cc cylinder produce so much more power than that of a 125cc cylinder? I mean, there would be more fuel and air, but i cant understand how it would create that much more power?

Please explain

You said the answer..more fuel and air...bigger bang = more power

Keep at it.

Years ago my mate got a 125 from dealer at 9am. I was trying to show him how to let the clutch out for hours on forecourt. Took me till 8pm before he was able to stagger home on it. He never was a knee scrapper but rode bikes for years after. those were the days lmao

Oh if I was single without kids

lol

Cheers guys,

just waiting for it to rain now so i can test the half litre of WD40 i've sprayed on

Spray with hose pipe That should wet it Once its all dried out, fit new cap and seal it all

just because it has oil doesnt mean the enine is getting any of it, could be the filter at the pump is blocked.. try adding some 2stroke to the fuel and see how that works..

If it is getting oil and he adds it to fuel it will foul up and not start from cold. Check the plug. This tells if there is oil, fuel and ignition problem

2 strokes are bad at starting full stop.

Forget air filter. Leave it out. Get a new plug first. 2 strokes eat plugs. Right....with plug out, turn over bike for a few seconds on full throttle. Then hit carb at the bottom of float chamber with screw driver end (not tip) just in case float is sticking. Warm plug as before. Put in plug plus ht lead this time Make sure kill switch is on and ignition Dont start with starter, bump it off as fast as you can in second gear. Start with no throttle then full then none etc, doing this quickly. Does it start. If yes, did it start on small throttle or full?

If it doesnt start. Take plug out, connect back to ht lead. Place the end of the plug on top of engine. Now turn everything on and turn it over. Is the spark strong and what colour is it.

I don't know whats your bike is like, but its either intake or coil end.

After this you need carb stripping and checking over by a good mate who will show you how its done. If you lived close I would do if for you

If I didn't have kids and wife When I was a young biker we had nothing. No mobile and no internet. We just met up at local transport cafe and played space invaders. Had a cuppa then found out who could do the best flyby or wheely

Doesnt sound like flooding. Clean your plug them warm it on oven flame. Put in bike and post back what happens.Once engine is warm it shouldn't flood as bike would burn fuel off, but run rich.

Check air filter as well mate. Change plug if above doesn't help

Sounds like fuel problem. Could be loads of things. Is it fine at low revs. If at high revs, its fuel. Check filters etc. Warm up, then run at high revs, hit kill switch, take plugs out and check mixture colour...thats the old way of doing it. Then there is electrical problem Havn,t got all day. Just check basics first, leads ets

You should have sprayed it with WD and all would have been ok. The days when engines got wet all the time, we always took some WD 40 with us. HEAVY RAIN!! miss fire.stop spray, gloves on hot engine, fag then go

Nice pics mate. Something wrong with the main road....there is no holes in it Sorry, I live in pot hole county.

I have a Kawasaki ZZR 1400 with 500 miles on the clock. It thuds, I say THUDS into first gear. Sometimes its a normal clunk. Somtimes it rocks the bike, even when rolling forward. Its to ensure no miss gear , so I am told The gearbox wines until clutch is pulled in. Noisey gears when riding. I am told to just enjoy it and ride. I find it hard, when its my only new bike in 28 years of riding. Rubbish Jap Cra&

I have zzr 1400. When I picked it up from new, the dealer rode it to the back of the shop cos my gear was in the car. (5 second ride) he went over the usual this is the "ya ya" and this is the key for "ya ya" it took about 2 mins and the fan was on """WHAT"""" I rode it up the street, stopped at lights, fan was on. Went to fill her up, fan was on. Its got better as its run in, but its not good. Came home from work today, peeing it down, so speeds were slow, it was cool/cold..fan came on. Kawasakis run hot...NOT GOOD!!

Bridgestones come with the zzr1400 as standard. I am told they only do 1500/2000 miles but they stick
