Hi Guys
Im running out of ideas what to have a look, at my bike keep bogging out after 10,000 RPM , well more like starving for fuel or air im not sure. So i have cleaned the carb , new fuel pump, new fuel filter as well as bought a K&N air filter for her (the old filter was beyond trash and hard to find in china)
Now she is starving at 8000rpm. The rpm will still climbs but its very slow and not picking up speed when like she should.
Im pleading for some advice. (do i need to reset my card to run with this new K&N filter?)
Thanks

Re: bike boggs at 8000rpm
try this simple test first, go for a ride and as the bike starts to bog down open the choke, if the bike now wants to keep pulling then you are starved of fuel (most likely explanation), if the bike does nothing or gets worse then you have too much fuel going through.
if your bike gets better you need bigger main jets (you will have seen them when you cleaned the carb), your jets will have a number stamped on them (i.e. 88, 90, 95 etc) you need to go a few sizes bigger so if your jets say 90 then try some 95 jets and see if that makes a difference. if your bike gets worse with choke then go for a smaller main jet, so go from a 95 down to a 92.5
when i fitted a k&n filter i needed to increase my main jet by 2 sizes (from a 95 to a 100).

Re: bike boggs at 8000rpm
Had the same issue. Changed up the jets ALOT until had no bogging. Didnt need to change needles or pilot jet settings but every bikes different!
