    Is the pipe standard? An aftermarket pipe with no fueling mods can cause problems...

    Does it rev out in neutral, if it is only under load it that it falls short it may give a few more clues.

    Good luck!
    hey mate, my bike revs out in neutral, what would that narrow the problem down to do you think?

    Hmmm, possibly weak spark or fuel leaning out.

    Check the plugs are clean and correctly gapped for starters. Dirty air filters can cause problems also but you've checked that already I believe. If the plugs are good then possibly gunk in the carbs or incorrect float levels.

    I must add I am not a mechanic but have picked up a few things playing with cars and bikes over the years. - This is an invite for mechanics to give SLTaylor69 some free qualified advice

    Engines use more fuel/air under load and need a decent spark to ignite it. I'm not thinking timing at the moment as most CDI ignitions don't have problems with that.

    After having injected bikes I have learnt how evil carbs can be. It could be as simple as the carbs needing balancing.

    I think you'll have to play trial and error for starters but at least you can start eliminating things one by one.

    I hope this is of some help...

    Greta Valley Via Weka Pass and Scargill

    Destination: Belfast, after that I don't care what you do (Actually I do, you know that)

    170km Ride.

    Re-Group points:
    Across the road from the fruit ice cream place, NORTH PEOPLE MEET HERE
    Weka Pass (Just in from SH1, other side of the railway tracks, if someone could stop on the turn off that'd be great)
    Greta Valley Pub
    Amberly

    It's up the main drag until weka pass, which in my opinion is some of the best tar in Canterbury, then we turn off at waikari and head along Scargill Valley road, be aware of shingle on some corners, farm machinery and livestock, make sure you toot as you pass Subikes place, then we'll stop at the pub for a refreshing drink, chips etc and it's home via the main drag.

    This is quite a long ride so we'll be leaving at 6:30 sharp, north people please be ready at 6:50 across from the fruity ice creamy place...

    Looking good, as to tootling my audio sounding device politely at Subike's place well isnt that kinda moot as I am sure you will have told him to meet us at the pub
    Its not the destination that is important its the journey.
