First of all I hold my head in shame as I have not been around in a ****'s age.
After the big crash of the tuonozone website way back when it was almost the same time I bought a Gsxr 600 to put on the track and since then it's shifted my road riding to mostly setting up the bike and track days. I must say I'm having the most fun I've had on two wheels since my days of racing motocross back in the 80's.
Long story short is a little problem that was creeping is now reared it's head.
Throttle response has been lumpy the past few months between 3000 and 4500 rpm. Not too bad mind as it's never been perfect but being I know this bike better than any I've owned before I could tell it was running off and tried balancing the throttle bodies a couple of times but still really lumpy.
A few days ago the injectors just jumped up and down at a steady throttle. Keep er anywhere between 3500 and 6000 now and she wont hold a steady rev just up and down and not fast pulsing but like the fuel injection cant tell what the throttle is doing.
First I checked all vacuum lines as this is my first thought, all clear, lines are new and connections are good. The bike isn't throwing a service or code so I'm not confident it's an electrical gremlin. Neighbour reckons bad plug but I'm not seeing and backfiring or dirty end pipe to suggest one cyclinder is packing up.
Aprilia shops here are fugging useless as i'm willing for them to just hook it up to a diagnostic but they're all talking weeks of waiting and big $$$$$.
What thinks yous?
