    We're going to try a new CDI unit first.
    A friend stripped his recently cos he had lost some zip ( wouldn't loft the wheel in first ) turned out it was coked up ????? He had been using 96 oct. and didn't rev it much. I always ran mine on 91 as it felt happier ! Thought it was strange that it coked up ?
    K6's aren't restricted are they ? Good you are still under warranty but its not the 'norm' is it ? Hasn't Pixie got a new one too, lined them up ? PM me if you want some mod info I've just altered mine !!!!!!!!!!!!!! Gaz.

    If you love it, let it go. If it comes back to you, you've just high-sided!

    HP is good but I also like the torque of the VF four engine for touring and overtaking in top gear. No mucking around. Hope you sort out the problem Lou as its something that may be effecting so many members. Perhaps the local Suzuki agents should be checking some of their stock sold. It isn't part of the warrantly service from what I have been told. Cheers.


    PS My little 600 is suppose to have 86 HP at stock.....

    Mine still wheelies off the throttle, then goes flat. I can't see it being carboned up at such low k's.
    The standard ones have a very restrictive exhaust and airbox, I've put a Micron on and rejetted. Air/fuel ratio is damn near perfect from 3000 - 10000.
    I took the bike into Colemans last night, they gave me a bog standard K3 Bandit to use. It's a rocketship over 6000 compared to mine.

    He's out of town. But he's said it's no different to his previous Bandit.

    Sounds like an interesting idea except, but but but but,,, it doesn't even have 25hp! Will have to convert the engine into some sort of black hole machine running at negative hp.

    Rode the bike today, it's just as powerful as before and the engine has not grown a 2nd piston either,,, so unless your HP is sitting in a recliner chair within my FXRs engine, it's just not there.
    90% of the time spent writing this post was spent thinking of something witty to say. It may have been wasted.
