get a tune. change plugs .. my bike use to fall on its face at 4k thought my clutch was going . got a tune and its a banshee now

 

Get a tune huh.. :hmmm:

how would i go about this? can i just go to a shop and askem to "tune this bitch up"? about how much would that cost? :O

 

dyno tune. that would be my last resort though

prices vary from dyno to dyno.. find a place that step tunes for best a/f ratio

check your fuel lines make sure none are pinched and also pump. make sure it is working right. change plugs if you need them. also check spark on the coils

 

thanks ill look into the dyno tune.
so is it a possibility that the plugs and/or coils could be the cause?

 

yes. weak spark not igniting fuel enough at low rpm. ... hard to diagnose a problem with out actually witnessing it.. try posting a video of it

 

alright, ill try to post a vid before work tomorrow. sold go pro so ill have to try to rig up my cellphone to record while i ride...think i have some duct tape laying around :whatsthat:

 

hahaha good luck.. is it every gear where it does this or just like 3rd.. does it do it when bike is at like 200 degrees.. need some info

 

actually, ive noticed it mainly in 1st through 3rd. and when i notice the power-fade the bike is around 120-180f but i dont really notice the buzz noise unless im cruising in 2nd or 3rd at around 40mph (around 6-7k rpm).

the noise is definitely coming from up front, i noticed it when i stood up to let my pants re-adjust and my head was kind of over the bars.

 

miles. last service record.. ever have hard starts?

 

currently shes at approx. 31k mi. last service, had valved adjusted about 2k miles ago last oil change was about 800mi ago. no hard starts unless its balls cold outside (30-32f), then its a rough idle and sometimes dies unless i adjust the idle pretty high (since my "choke lever" is stuck).

 

Does your idle fluctuate or rev high?

 

nope, she idles around +/-1..maybe 2 lines on whatever it is set on (around 1k rpm).
what do you mean by rev high? as in when i initially start the bike or after warmed up?

 

Thanks man, to you and zxrider, i appreciate the help/suggestions.

 

Like I said, start cheap and easy.
No matter what you'll need a cable lube kit, make sure it comes with the little tool. Otherwise you'll just spray yourself with lube.
All you should need is a screwdriver, maybe Allen key. Make sure you have the right size screwdriver or key not to strip anything out.
You also might want to white lithium grease the choke leaver internals area.

Start there, then report back.
If you really get jammed up I'll make you a video.
