carbs floding? or not synced right?
Just bought my girl a 92 f2 for $1500 cash. great deal i thought, but after replacing the tires, chain, clutch, lights in the dash, and fairings its startin to get to me.
I was riding the bike into work today and notice no matter what i couldnt get it past 75mph.
if i cracked the throttle in 1st or 2nd it was great power but in any other gear the bike seemed to flood, and even had a little "jerk" where the bike would pull for a sec then kinda lurch forward. this was at 60 mph and it was barely noticeable.
but the bike will not go any faster than that.
