Title: grrrr, bike hesitating at 6k on up now :-(
Post by: b1k3r 3li+3 on July 09, 2004, 08:16:13 PM
hey my bike now has a hesitation in all gears once i hit round 6k and up it starts kinda boging down and hesistate and the rpms go up slowly but the bike hesistates bad, bike will pull from 0-6k rpms.   over 6k rpms and starts to hesitate.  

Bike is stock cept the larger jets I put on when I first got the bike so don't need bigger jets.  Its not fuel prob, the tank is full,  tried with petcock in all posisitions, same thing.  Any diagnosis or trouble shooting welcome, i'm thinking maybe the floats bowls need adjusting, not sure, to lazy to do the line test.

i had the same problem a few weeks ago
here is what it was for me the springs for the needles
well the seat they sat on one of them slipped and it was aobut 1/4 down the spring when i pulled the carbs to check them and

before that my bike sputtered and popped all the time and had absolutely nothing above 6k  barely pulled below 6k either

hope that helps

Check floats, amke sure they not too high, and shim up the needles... BTW what jets you have and what filter/pipe you running.
Cool.
