This was a project i turned into a naked bike.
Anyway, i believed the bike to be in top shape after completion but after a 12 or 15 mile ride in 100 F temps, i think maybe not.
Its a simple symptom. Once the bike was up to temp the throttle would bog and nearly die. It would lurch and cough. Then after every episode I would stop, turn the bike off..wait 30 seconds or so, fire it up and it was good for another few miles then repeat the same procedure.
The mods to the intake and vacuum were small but may have my verdict in their simplicity.
I did an exposed MAF sensor with a filter as has been done. Additionally, I deleted the crankcase breather hose and replaced it with a filter and plugged the outlet on the plenum itself.
Other than all that the bike was mainly hacked up cosmetically with no other major mechanical changes.
I just think it is bizarre behavior for the problem to arise then once i stop the bike, shut it down and start again it is fine for a bit then starts again.
Thoughts? Concerns?
