    Tuning issues

    Not too sure if this is timing or something else.


    When I get up to about 5000 revs my bike starts misfireing and pulling. Its a fuel injection bike so I'm not too sure what this is. It's just been for a service and was not doing this before it went in.

    Any ideas??

    Yep do a search on here for water in the gas tank... if you just had it serviced the plugs should be fine?

    It's their problem for not doing the job right or by not checking their work.
    By not taking it for a quick spin around the block to see if there is any unforeseen problems.
    Feel the fear and do it anyway

    Went for a we run today and noticed that my bike is chewing up gas like crazy.

    Usualy get160k's plus before the refill light comes on. Came on today at 130K's.

    So It's going back in the morning. I don't know if it's timing or running too rich.

    Does the increase fuel consumption mean anything in richness or timing??

    Anyone of a gazzillion things - just report your observations and let the guy who worked on it figure out what he screwed up... and how he can make it your fault and thus charge you
