Guest Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 happend a day or ago....... throttle seems very jerky at low speeds, even happens keeping the throttlein 1 position!tried revving it at stationary n th throttle responce seem fine!!Ideas?? Quote
Pete Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 How is it when the bike's idling? Sounds like a fueling problem to me. What bike is it? If it's carbed then you might benefit from a good carb clean or chucking a bottle of Redex through it to loosen it up a bit.Did it happen all of a sudden or over a period of time? Quote
Guest Posted May 2, 2009 Posted May 2, 2009 07 r6 (fuel inj)...fine in idle was like it last week.... but hasn'tben ridden allweek..just a thought, would a slack chain cause it? Quote
Pete Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Could well be! Have a check of the chain and then report back to HQ (here...). Just in case you don't know how to check and adjust the chain you push the chain up with your finger in the centre. Rotate the back wheel and check it in different places until you find the tightest spot. There should be about 30mm freeplay in it (a chain that's a little bit loose is better than a chain that's too tight. If it's too tight it'll quickly wear the sprockets). Tighten it by loosening the rear wheel bolts (no need to take them off, just loosen them), if you have a rear brake bar loosen that too. Now just adjust the...er...adjuster nuts on either side of the swingarm until the chain is at the right tightness. Retighten your rear wheel nuts to the right torque setting using a torque wrench (yes you should use one!). Then go and try it out.By the way I don't know the exact setup on an R6 (I have a Suzuki GSX600F) so yours might be a bit different to mine but the general idea is the same. Quote
Guest Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Another thought, is the throttle adjustement (at the bars) out a little? It is only a slight chance..... Quote
Guest Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 bike is up on the paddock stand atm!! spraying up a couple o panels n putting a new scheme on it ( monster energy decal in silver ) so will adjust the chain as it does seem to be saggingsoon as done i'll take it out for a spin n report back..... might even post some new pics up Quote
Guest Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 yup was the chain too slack!! so all adjustered cleaned n relubed Quote
Pete Posted May 3, 2009 Posted May 3, 2009 Nice one mate! The best problems are the ones you can fix for free! Quote
