Title: bike chugs
Post by: drduimstra on August 27, 2010, 09:48:51 PM
So I didn't think it was such a big until one of my friends told me that my chugging around 8k rpms on 4th gear and up is a bad  :technical:, so anyone has any clue what causes this?

What do you mean by 'chugging'? Similar to the 'lug' that you get at low rpm's? Or is it just a noise that it makes?

Sounds like a lean condition. Might be an air leak somewhere. Check the carb boots.

could be a vacuum leak between the carbs and airbox too.  had this happen on an older yamaha maxim and it would get to about 7500rpm and stop like a rev limitter.
