SPOILER!!!! Please read this thread through to the end were you'll see what a complete twat I've been spending eight weeks ranting because I missed one of the parts whilst fitting some ASV levers. So sit down with a brew and read away. Ignore my ranting and have a laugh about how stupid I've been!!! The dealer had read the thread on here and was understandably upset. In an effort to make amends I felt it was best to make a public apology. Riding home from work today. Hyper is bogging down, backfiring when doing a constant 30mph in third. May be my imagination, but the valve train in the horizontal cylinder sounds noisy. No faults displayed on the dash though. Looks like a trip to the dealer tomorrow
Never been in seastar. Always wanted to stop and have a look, but always needed to be in Norwich or headed back home! Good luck mate! :thumbsup:
Backfiring like that at a constant speed is normally bad fuel, lean misfire (air leak) or dodgy plug/ignition coil. Most likely a simple fix. Getting it sorted quick might be tricky though, let us know how you get on.
Rode into work this morning and it's lumpy as hell at lower speed making slow sweeping bends almost impossible, almost feels like I'm towing a trailer. It may well be bad fuel as previously stated. Might have to knock up a syphon pump at work and fill it with fresh but I'll run it up to the dealer at lunch time so they can look anyway.
Anything disturbed from fitting the exhaust ..... map sensors , inlet ducting to throttle housing What happens with lamdas are they written out .... any of the lamda wiring touched the exhaust and grounded out ..... would of expected codes from the latter but you never know .
I pretty sure I fitted everything as it should be. I'm proper anal but I guess everyone makes mistakes. I've looked for anything loose or worn through etc. No mil light. It feels like a fuel/ignition fault as its dumping fuel into the chamber. There is no inlet ducting to disturb. You replace the lid on the air filter housing and that's it.
Unusual not to get a light. Couldn't be something like sticking back brake could it? Have you done anything recently to it?
