FXR150 info

[Indiana_Jones]

I was wondering if anyone had any info on the air filter and mixture part of the bike on the FXR150.
From reading some cycle manuals and looking at fouled plugs it seems it's a choke, mixture or air filter problem.

Thanks for your time :niceone:

Google, the next best thing to sliced bread and condoms.

Condoms are bad, remember every sperm is scared.

Tried google, not much luck. Also I got the air filter out, now it says remove the plastic bit inside, but u can't? any tips fixxer riders?

Ok, I put a new plug in her today. She can turn on (until that plus is fouled and chucked on the pile:p), but as soon as you try to put on the gas she'll cut out. Any idea's?

And I looked in the carb (or at least i think it was) and it looked sweet, no water or what not

Cheers

Surely you mean "Sacred"?

Or maybe it works better the way you've got it....

:yes:
Did mine last weekend. On appearances it looks like you can't, but you can. Hold firmly the foam in one hand and with your other hand, apply a gentle but steady pulling force on the white plastic frame. It'll slide out just like that.

Hey Indy

just a thought...

Had a similar problem with my Fixxer, and after much tinkering :whistle: , found the issue was the carb diaphragm - a known weakness of FXR's. When I took it out I was looking for holes or splits, of which there were none, but the diaphragm was slightly mis-shapen, and wasnt sealing properly.
Therefore reduced vacuum, reduced airflow and bike running like shit.
It would idle only on full choke (although hard to get started), but was reluctant to rev. On the road, it would get up to 50kph and then go no faster no matter what gear or thottle position...

New diaphragm ($60 for a 5cm diameter piece of rubber :eek5: ) and bike running fine.

note: to get at the diaphram (top of carb), its best to take the carb off the bike - once you have the tank off and remove the airbox, piece of cake.

It's not that black piece of rubber is it? with the spring thing in the middle?
lol not very good at the tech side of bikes :D

thats the one

should be a nice symmetrical shape which sits in the metal groove around the top of the carb body - if it doesnt, (mine had folds and creases on one side) will result in poor vacuum. Must also have no spilts or holes... the diaphragm can just be pulled off the slide if it needs to be replaced... oh and good luck getting that spring back positioned correctly :whistle: .
