I had all of the plastic off the other day to "clean up" some wiring. I have added some lights and the chrome switch cover on the right master cylinder. I got a little sloppy with the wiring and also the PO was a little sloppy with his wiring. I removed the seat, the engine covers, both left and right side covers andthe false tank. Cleaned up all the wiring and removed several crimp connectors and did the solder and shrink wrap thing. Installed a good bit of split loom to make everything look good.
Before putting everything back together, I started the bike to make sure that everything operated properly. I installed all the plastic and decided to go for a quick ride.
The bike would not stay running. I would turn the throttle and it acted like it wanted to die. It would just go BLAH. I could not put the bike in gear and ride it because it would die. Absolutely no power. Backfiring like crazy.
Pulled it back in the shop. I thought it was a vacuum hose that got knocked off. (that is how it acted) I pulled all the plastic to see what I could find and did not find anything. Started the bike and it ran flawlessly. No backfiring, no throttle hesitation, perfect running.
Any ideas??? :baffled::stumped::baffled::stumped::baffled::stumped:
