Hello gang!
So i have a problem that I've been quite unsuccessful at fixing, regardless of
how much i use the search function.
My bike bogs down at speeds in excess of 34 mph, once it hits those speeds itll cut back to about 29mph and stay there for a few seconds and then repeat..back to 34mph then 29mph etc.
The bike is acting like it is starved of fuel or air or something.
However the other day i was riding down a hill and my bike was doing its usual 34mph to 29mph bogging, and then suddenly it the bogging stopped!
my bike went to 38mph and didn't bog at all, it was awesome. it then ran out of fuel 20 seconds later.
Why would having very low fuel eliminate this problem? I filled the tank back up and the bogging continued.
I scrapped the petcock and replaced it with a large valve that is always open, so my bike is getting fuel from the tank very quickly, no bottleneck there. I'm running an inline filter,
but gas seems to be passing through that quickly as well.
I'm running a stock NTTC carb with stock jetting and I'm on the second from the top clip on the needle. I'm running the stock air filter with holes drilled in it for better air flow.
I'm also running with opti-2 oil, if that matters.
It seems that my bike in its current condition shouldn't bog like this, it didn't in the past. I've had the bike for more than a year.
