WOT running rough

LOZ · 11-15-2008, 04:36 AM

Sup yall,

I own a '95 CBR F3. the bike sat in my garage since May, ever since I started school again. I tried turning it on the other day and it wouldnt idle or stay on without the choke on. so I changed/cleaned a couple of things. It has new plugs, new battery, cleaned out the carbs, I took them out and cleaned them and I also cleaned out the air filter with a KNN filter kit. I fired the bike up and now it turns on, idles well, even fires up without the choke on. great, im happy about that, BUT, if I ride it and I try to go full throttle on it, the bike gets really rough and it just hesitates to go. and it just sounds like its boggin. if im running low speeds, it has no problem, but I soon as I go wide open, it doesnt really go. I might just make a little video of it so ya can see what I mean.

but just from this description, does anybody have a suggestion?

Leon?

shit, I just read the SeaFoam thread on the tech section....

Im gonna be trying that out this weekend. ill post back results.

yeah Sea Foam is the SHIT! give it time to work though... and I'd do a few tanks run through of it... add like 1/8-1/2 bottle per tank.... depending on how bad things are... you should be good to go by the time the bottles done.

the only thing is... you've already cleaned the carbs... so you may have other issues... did you get the carbs sync'd properly?

LOZ · 11-15-2008, 06:14 AM

yeah, carbs were done correctly.

I was watching the video and it was saying to add the seafoam directly to the carb.... I dont want to go through all that hassle, can I just add it to the fuel and let it run through??

Mr Lefty · 11-15-2008, 06:18 AM

yeah just pour it in the tank. sea foam is weird... you can pour it in the tank, in the carb, in the intake... even in the oil... good shit!

Yeah I was going to suggest seafoam... gee, its almost like I made the other thread... hmmmm

And Ebbs asked about syncing the carbs. Please forgive me, but you never said anything about that. Its not just cleaning them. So did you actually sync the carbs?

What about the gasoline in the tank? Is it old?

Also, moving to tech... in Florida don't make much sense!
