Title: Trouble with lack of powe
Post by: Unleadedcs on July 15, 2007, 08:35:29 PM
Hey guys. I have been having problems with my powerband. It used to pull a lot more when i started from a stop and now it seems like i have to give it a ton of throttle it get it rolling. Also I noticed when i used to romp on it after 6000 RPM's It would just really pull. Now it does not do it at all.   I cleaned the air filter, changeed the oil, replaced spark pluggs. checks to see if the carb was leaking air, no leaks that i could find. If you guys know some common problems about what robs power please let me know. I would like to have the thrill back again.

Maybee it's because you f%&ked up and bought a GS instead of a GSX-R thinking there couldn't be all that much difference :cookoo:
