| Re: Katana won't rev past 7500rpm Synced the carbs on Sunday. 1 & 2 were very far off, 3 & 4 were off by a bit.
The problem is still there. I ran seafoam through it ina tank of gas, still the same thing.
This is not a new development, but something I noticed and didn't think anything of:
When in neutral, if the throttle is pinned, the bike will rev to about 10.5k and immediately stop reving. Think bouncing off a rev limiter, but it doesn't bounce, just dies immediately.
Yesterday on RT15 I was stuck in traffic for about 15 minutes. When traffic opened up, and I had to accelerate from about 3-4mph to highway speed, the bike was revving even worse than normal. First gear was about 6k, second gear was about 5k same for third, fourth was about 5.5k, etc. I was in 6th gear, throttle pinned open, doing 50 mph, getting passed by a corolla.
It seemed to clear out a bit in a short time, and my exit was soon any way. But when climbing after the traffic, the bike had absolutely no power.
Carb rebuild time? |
