Hi,
As you all know I've overhauled my 1992 ZXR400.
I'm having a few issues with the engine. The bike will not go over 10,000rpm, sometimes holds an idle sometimes not, and i'm only getting 120 miles to tank. When I rebuilt the bike I changed everything over to uk specs loom,clock,cdi,lights,switchgear etc...
The carbs are still the same when I took the bike apart, infact I didn't touch them aprt from a quite balance. I'm starting to wonder if the plugs are duff or the coil caps that I added are fooked or not really good for high rpm.
Any ideas?
Regards
Rich

Oh yeah thats the exact CDI I got and was running perfect before the rebuild so I cant see it being that.
I've bought some new plugs to see if that makes any difference.

There might be some sort of restrictor on the back of the clocks a small black box. I'm sure I heard something about that.
I would have said it might have been the CDI unit! I only normally get about that out of a tank and that is when its running rich.

With the UK CDI it wouldnt restrict to 10k as they havent got them. It usually the CDI's from other markets.

Re: Looks nice but runs like a dog...
iddleing problems usually point to air leaks in the carburation system or carbs need cleaning properly, 10,000 rpm max may also point to this or a blocked air filter, if not that its restricted somehow, my bike is a uk model so never had any restricter on it revs til the limmiter comes in
