916 Need Advice, Got Another Issue....

  1. After only riding it approx 1000km, something wrong happens to my 916s (97mod);

    It starts with no problems, and the first 10-15 minutes of riding is completely problem free. But then, the engine starts to "choke", for example in 60 mph with 4-4500 rpm, it feels like i am running out of gas anytime... the engine does`t "die" or stop, but it continues to fire-misfire-fire-misfire until i decide to stop.
    If i wait until the engine is cold, it starts with no problems, runs nice the first 10 min and then the same story as over.....

    Suggestions? Could it be coil/spark plugs/filters?

    Ps; i have had problem free riding the first 900km i have owned it (well, of course the oil leak..;)
     
  2. Possibly fuel filter needs changing, it's in the tank.

  8. i see, that seems to be a hot tip, thanks again. I will try to find out, keep you posted during the coming week :)
     
  9. Okey guys. Sorry its been a while BUT many, many things have been done the last two months (frustrating weeks..). Trying to find out the issue. Long story short; the changed part-list is huge, so has the work regarding trouble-shooting. Last week we thought there were a problem with the stator, had that rewinded as the last thing we`re gonna do, the bike worked fine for 100km but then the same sh#%$T happend again. Search continued and he found a fault on the UM222 ecu-chip. Replaced it with one from another bike and then: SUCSESS! The bike works fine. Fingers crossed. Hopefully will i get my bike done next week..

    Have you ever heard of this before? I heard its normal to change the whole ECU when this problem happen.?

    I also have a HUGE bill after just riding the 916 only 6-700km:rage:
     
  10. Hope you get it sorted.
