Hi Guys,
I've Just taken my 1984 Gl1200IE for a spin after fitting a new saddle. The bike seemsto start and run ok until the engine is warm then whenever the engine is under load, like going up hill, it feels like the engine misses, the more the throttle is open the worse it gets until the bike slows to a crawl, the tachometer flicks from 0 to max constantly. When the throttle is shut or eased closed the engine picks up and fires on all four cylinders this lasted for about 20 miles then everything ran as normal.
Is this a vacuum related problem or engine management? I've recently changed plugs and leads and cleaned connections to the coils.
hope you can help Im a bit stuck on this one
