Hi guys, I have previously posted some threads about my bike (99 CBR 600) not being able to start and finally I have had her running for the past couple of weeks. I've been running into a few problems though. Sometimes she runs and rides just fine and i'll be able to ride around town with no problems and other times she bogs down and theres a lot of exhaust popping and shuts off. And then i'll have trouble getting it started again.
I was thinking maybe it has something to do with the carbs; perhaps they need to be cleaned but then i read on here that carb cleaning is usually the case for when the bike has been sitting. I don't think it sat for any long periods of time but I'm not 100% sure.
Anyway I'm on my way to get some Seafoam from the store now and see if that helps any but any other advice or input would be helpful.

 

sounds fuel related mate, clean the carbs and balance also theres a fuel filter between the fuel pump could change that for the few quid. ???

 

Yeah, i had a lay down last week and it hasn't started since so right now it's at the honda service center getting a full evaluation. It's very possible that the carbs just needed cleaning. A new fuel pump was just installed when i bought the bike so that shouldn't be the source of the problem.

 

Let us know what happens matey and good luck it's a nice cheap job to fix!

 

Are you making sure to just use supreme gas not plus or regular?

 

I use regular, just like the user and service manuals state. Actually I get better performance and gas mileage as well. Ignition has been advanced 6 degrees too.
