Tickover Issue

Post by Wilki »

Hello guys,

When I am driving just through a town my tickover is set just right and the bike runs perfectly but if I go out onto 70MPH roads I think the ram air is cooling the bike too much and sometimes the bike can cut out when im changing down gears because of the drop it power it just cuts out. Is there anyway to tackle this as it seems like a bit of a design flaw.

A blip or two to wake it up can help.
Does the low seat height reflect the low intelligence? Easier to get an asshole onto.

also the hoover tubes are not ram-air tubes...they provide a slightly cooler air for the airbox to use, but its not a pressurised system.
