shavenYak Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Nah she's been nice and dry. It's gotta be carb related, surely. If it was electrics, like something shorting out it would die at any revs, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beaver Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Not if tipping it over is causing something to touch somethign it shouldnt be....does it splutter or just cut out and die? If it was carb related I would think it would be more of a splutter and die a slow death. /I no nothing about bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shavenYak Posted September 4, 2016 Share Posted September 4, 2016 Yeah just gradual drop in engine speed until stalled as per video. I have this problem while riding too, quite often once I come to a stop I have to give it a little throttle to keep it running. have rocked the bike side to side while running and that doesn't seem to affect it.

Moffmo Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 This a beautiful bike. I haven't seen these before!! If you ever sell it. I want to be first in line even though I probably can't afford it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
governorsam Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 Check regulator wiring. Sounds like its running off the charging circuit, not the battery. I know earlier GS/gsx used a weird switch for the lights that altered the charge rate depending if the lights were on or not. Blowing any bulbs at all? Only thing that changes with revs electrically is the charge rate. Put a light bulb on the power feed to the coil, see what it dose then. Still running a vaccume fuel tap? The diaphragm in those is prone for leaking Used to work at all parts motorcycles back in the day, remember when we used to import these bikes...

Moffmo Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 Yak? You don't happen to live on happy valley do you? Think I saw this yesterday... I think it was on happy valley but I can't be sure my memory is serving me correctly... Lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EpochNZ Posted September 24, 2016 Share Posted September 24, 2016 I think its safe to assume Yak that if a random, non-descript car starts flashing its lights at you its an oldschooler....unless the lights are coloured and roof mounted...or behind the grille on a late model Holden Commodore.

Blasted through happy valley today though, while on the distinguished gentlemans ride. Was a good day out! Approx 200 bikes riding together is quite the experience!

Popular Post shavenYak Posted December 18, 2018 Popular Post Share Posted December 18, 2018 Hey so it's been two years since last update. Rode the bike on epic trip from Wellington to Banks peninsula for nats. Ran very well, certainly a lot of fun to ride. Gets very happy in the higher revs! Had my first crash while at nats. Lost control coming over a ridge while on gravel. Bike went in the ditch and managed to snap one of the forks! Limped back to camp, found a replacement fork locally(ish) and installed it in time to ride back to Picton. Hoping to go on lots of rides this summer! 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
