What the Hell?

[Thrash67]

I dont know whats going on with the bike. It has a full tank, everything seems to be running fine but it wont rev past 5-6 grand in nueteral and in first when I try to drive it it wont get past about 3500. It just kind of putts along with the revs going up and down. Kinda seems like its running out of gas. Anyone know what my problem is and how to fix it?

first thing check plugs

Oh really now? I didnt think that would cause that problem but I guess I will get new ones as soon as I can. No telling how long they have been in there. Thanks

So I went and just reved it a lot and drive it slow. It backfired one small time and then started acting correctly. Im so confused.

Pull your spark plugs out and look at them. Compare them to this guide.

So you dont think it would be the carbs? I am just going to get new plugs. I checked em and they dont look to good. Where can I get the plugs I need?

THe plugs could fix everthing just relax until youve replaced em.  if that doesnt fix it, then start guessing at what else it could be...

where can I get the plugs? Any auto pats store or what?

[darb85]

Ya, you should be able to get the plugs just about anywhere, just bring one with you, then they can cross reference if they dont have that exact brand

[Thrash67]

cool i will pull one out tomorrow before work. What about the wires?

[darb85]

probably only get those at a Dealer or online.  CHeck those maybe if the plugs alone dont fix it, but I doubt have gone bad.

changed em looks good so far.
