Exclamation Octane Booster maybe Carbs n Def dont think electrical???????

Ight so I been havin trouble with my headlight flickerin n i saw dude did sh** job wiring ecu wires so redid all that n got it running great but now i got another bs problem.
Ight so put octane booster in with my gas when i first got the bike 2 days ago n never had a problem with it then i was cruisin today with no problems n my engine would bog up n down n not accelerate at higher rpms the eventually die.

So I drained all that bs gas n put some lawnmower 87 oct in it n it did better but still bogs/gets twitchy a 8k rpm n wont accelerate unless i shift up to a higher gear where rpms are lower

PLZ be just carb cleanig...!


Peace enjoy fathas day

Check your fuel pump. If it is not working properly, it will spit at higher speeds and rpms, and work fine at lower speeds. Also, check the breather hoses on the bottom of the tank to see if they are straight and not kinked.

Take a look at your filters, too.


On the gasoline matter: throwing anything over 86 octane in your carbureted bike is useless. In fact, putting in anything over 89 will LOWER your engine's horsepower. And what are you using for octane booster? Is it ethanol? If so, you're paying that company to play a big joke on you.

You bought a sport bike, not a stock car. These things ARE just glorified lawnmower engines. They're totally pimped out lawnmower engines, but they're not pimped in ways that can benefit from more octane.
