    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hi I have just done up the top end of my 650 Kat thinking a valve prob was causing the ole girl to flatten out at 80kph at around 5000 t0 6000 rpm but this hasnt change anything .
It has perfect idle, faulters a little at very low rev when taking off but absolutely stings from then till I hit mid range then looses power until I slow down to around 3000 t0 4000 rpm and stings again
Then It happens all over again
Balanced the carb butterflies YES
Checked cam timing YES Fuel seems to get through to carbs fine.
I'm at a loss ,any ideas?:cry:

Sounds like you're running out of petro! Have you gone through the fuel system to ensure that there are no kinks in the line? Air vent in the fuel cap open? Are you runing an external fuel filter? Have you checked your float height setting? Any air leaks anywhere....anywhere? Stock airbox or pods? Stock exhaust or piped and jetted...jetted? If all comes back as yes and stock, you may have to bump your jet needles up a bit.

Let us know.
 
sounds like a slight blockage in your main jets

its the transfer between pilot jet and main which causes the falter

i bet if you whack back the throttle at 5000 rpm it will take off again
 
I'm betting your plugs are chalk white... Is the jetting stock?
Stock pipes/Air filter? Do you have the airbox on? Lid too?
 
Might be a bad petcock or as said a kinked fuel line. Try running it on prime and see what happens.
 
You have an intake leak.
The boots between the airbox and the carbs to be exact. (Carb to engine boots would cause a high idle)
One of your boots is either not seated, (center, no doubt) or torn. Believe it or not, it only takes a very small leak to cause CV carbs not to work properly.
If you do end up replacing the boots, get new clamps too.
