    Bogs down with throttle - video!

    No thats cool, I know all this stuff has to get repeated just to be sure. No, their clean. I'm sure - pulled all the jets and the diaphragms too. Just put up a better video of whats going on. I think it may be electrical..?

    Bogs down with throttle - video!

    Ok well seems to be an issue of ignition. I've been running a small 12v .8ah battery in my set up. Pma with a pamco, led turn signals and tail light, no gauge lights, 55w headlight. Just now I hooked the standard 12v 14ah battery inline and once started, it ran *better*. I tried to show this in...

    Bogs down with throttle - video!

    Tank is clean and I've got a filter in place. I took the carbs apart yesterday and cleaned them but they didn't need it - I checked the float levels as well, all good at 17mm. I was actually praying they'd be dirty but doesn't seem to be that simple. I'm starting to think it is an issue of weak...

    Bogs down with throttle - video!

    I get this "breathiness" when I give my bike any throttle now. I had this problem once last year but it went away overnight and now it's back overnight. It seems to be carb related but I cleaned them and the jetting hasn't changed. I've been riding it for a year plus with the current jetting -...

    Ninja EX500 carbs on an XS650?

    well I was out on on the tail end of a trip when this all happened - which is why this is so confusing since it just started happening now - but I could only do so much trouble shooting on the side of the road. here's what I know, or think I do.. Not the gas cap because if I remove the hose...

    Ninja EX500 carbs on an XS650?

    Anybody had issues with the bowls on these not filling fast enough? Got a problem with mine bogging at higher rpms and all signs seem to point to fuel starvation - It's pretty bad too, on the highway I can only get a few miles before having to pull over. My floats are set at 17mm right now -...

    HELP stuck in Cortez, co

    Well after this a volt meter is starting to sound like a worth while investment Thanks for the responses guys - got in touch with Hugh and he's overnighting a new stator. Fantastic. In the meanwhile I have two 6v 11ah lantern batteries wired in parallel powering this thing (pamco) - I rode 50...

    HELP stuck in Cortez, co

    Broken down in Cortez with a bad pma - anyone out there in the area? Maybe with a puller for Hugh's pma so we can see what's going on? Pma as of now won't start the bike or charge the battery - when I checked the stator wires before it died I was only getting 2 volts - battery was only at 6 and...

    My petcocks, rebuild or replace? Pics included.

    I have a crack in one of my pipes, not a huge deal. Most of the time just run it on reserve anyway, have a pretty good idea of "how much gas is enough" sounds to get around. But I would rebuild them - half the cost of a new one and most any used one would likely need the same anyhow. A little...

    Wiring Diagram Review Needed

    thanks guys - I talked to some other people and despite a few changes, everything's pretty tight. I'm ditching the stock controls so I'm going to have a single switch for each signal on either side of the bars. Right too about the cap vs battery - sprung for the pma gonna use a bundle of caps...
