ade38 Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 Hey everyone, Just got my restrictor fitted( the insurance company asked so thought i'd better) but the bike is impossible to ride!!! i was livid with the fact i couldnt ride it, problem being when i started it the revs climbed straight to 5000 then slowly came down, but if i gave it throttle it choked and died, so trying to tweak he throttle enough to build the revs to move was fun!! i'm not sure if the garage had played with the mixture or idle god knows but within 20 minutes the carbs were off and i was fiddling so tonight i'll find out what the prob is, but has anyone had a restrictor fitted and noticed that there bike runs like a piece of **** ??? Mind you the bike is a zx9r and there coming down 110bhp, but the concept of the crab plates are the same?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 the bike should still run fine and the shop should never let it out the door running like that so i would take it back to them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade38 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 see thats what makes me think it is the restrictor, as the bore on the carbs are huge, say 40mm and the restrictor leaves a hole of 10mm its like the fuel is just building up?? then a load goes through causing the high revs?? the guy at the garage said he took it down the road and there is a slight flat spot, slight?? more like a huge flat spot, but it was fine before, but he's assured me its all fine? i wanna punch him!

Stu Posted February 12, 2009 Share Posted February 12, 2009 the bike will only let so much fuel through depending on how hard the air is drawn in so you wont get excess fuel ring the guy up and ask him dont tell him you have stripped it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ade38 Posted February 12, 2009 Author Share Posted February 12, 2009 i just spoke to him a minute ago, he explained what i already knew, it was hard tryin not to tell him he's a tit! but he wants it in to look at but will charge me to look at tho, but i'm brassic now its been done, but upon looking at it last night he's rounded one of the carb bolts that mount the inlet to the engine, so i've gotta beat a torx bit in there tonight to loosen it, also he put the fuel tap on backwards, so when i thought it was off it sprayed all aover me as it was on reserve, i dont think the guy has any idea, this thread is more of a rant lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ade38 Posted February 15, 2009 Author Share Posted February 15, 2009 problem is all sorted now, the plank didnt seal one of the o-rings and another was missing plus nothing was sealing the plates to the cylinder head, was just metal to metal, so i replaced the seals at work now its better than ever!! but to the garage that did it gotta go back to college me thinks!!!
