ER6 running problem

[Drew]

So nobody's managed to solve Drews problem yet then?

I'll beat the rush. No one can solve my problems.

Unless than can tell me why an ER6 would run like a bag of shit after sitting for a couple months.

Condensation in the fuel?

Condensation in the fuel?

Possible, I pumped a couple litres out after I'd taken for a hoon, because I thought water in the tank. No water in the bucket so I've kinda moved away from that theory. Fucky symptoms have got me totally fucked.

Started but ran like shit. Took for a ride and it wouldn't let me use much throttle. Took for a longer ride and after gently easing it up to speed on a twisty road was able to give it a thrashing. Back on the straight roads at 50k's, and runs like shit again and doesn't like throttle again.

If it wasn't injected, I'd have the carbs out getting rid of the water in them.

Because it's missing two cylinders.

Or you've got a shitty maf or 02 reading

Please elaborate on why that is your guess. The fuel mixture sensor thing, you're spot on with teh missing slugs thing.

My idea if petrol's okay:
Air leak. Bike's probebly going to be a dick of a thing at small throttle openings/low load.
MAF sensor (if it has one, or MAP sensor) will not be telling the ECU how much air/pressure is going on as a leak could happen after it
02 sesnor being bung/sad/unplugged will not be delivering a voltage, but I expect a check engine light may come on if that was open circuit.


Why does my 74,000km old Kawasaki flip-mobile works beautifully after not being used for yonks?

Yeah, my 95,000k old RF starts with only a little coercing from six months total neglect.

No engine checks come up, so methinks it something simple.

Will drain the tank completely tomorrow and go from there.

Well done whatever mod moved this. I hadn't intended on having a big discussion on it.

Low voltage.

Whats the voltage at 4k revs and idle like.

Gummed up injectors?

Couldn't see it, starts convincingly even after leaving it turned on with the fuel line off to pump out the gas, and having to thumb the starter every ten seconds to get it to pump.

Sitting for six months ... fuels gone off.

Drain and fill with fresh ...

Two months.
Gotta drain the tank anyway, so might as well use the old stuff in teh V3000 instead of the bike and eliminate a possibility.

A horrible thought that did scream at me from the very get go, we're ignoring the issue so it can't be that.

There is an injector cleaner that can be added to the fuel ... might be worth a go too ...

If the fuel level in the tank was low when left ... the fuel does go off quickly.
