waynebev Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Hi Guy'sMy RF600R that I bought around a month ago has been brilliant so far with no probs and a whole different world from my GS500 Until today.....was nothing major (I hope) but when I set off to work today after filling petrol up (Don't know if this is linked) as I approached the first roundabout I noticed the engine sounded different and there was spluttering and spitting when I was reving. It was realy slugish till it hit about 3-4000rpm then it would pick up.This only lasted about 5mins then it was back to been fine reving lovely responsive etc... any ideas?? It has been raining alot dont know if this has anything to do with it.I keep the bike under a rain cover at night.Cheers Quote
Ian G Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 prob just a bit of crap pushed into the feed pipe when you filled up give it a good blast to clear it out Quote
Voodoo Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 Sounds to me like one of the cylinders wasn't firing. That could be as simple as a spark plug or the HT lead.Then again it could be something else entirely. Quote
waynebev Posted June 8, 2010 Author Posted June 8, 2010 Yeh, Cheers Ian.That was what I was hoping for so wound it out a bit on the way to work. It's just when something goes like that you think "OK now what" Quote
GarethNW Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 It's just when something goes like that you think "OK now what" I know that fealing, Glad your bike is okay Quote
Guest Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 the RF is a bugger because of the fairings, but i'd check that the HT leads are firmly attached.How low were you on fuel? could be you got some of the tank debris in the lines, or a little water but glad its working OK now. Quote
spunky1976 Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 i would go with the HT leads and water ingress me too and a spot of redex can't hurt either Quote
Guest Posted June 8, 2010 Posted June 8, 2010 i would go with the HT leads and water ingress WD40 is your friend ... Quote
waynebev Posted June 10, 2010 Author Posted June 10, 2010 Cheers Guy'sYeh it was well on reserve when I filled up so maybe.It's a couple of days down the line now and "touch wood" since then it hasn't nissed a beat!!!When will this weather pick up!!! It's rained for days over here in East Riding of Yorkshire. Want to get out camping but don't reckon on this week. Quote
