OKay, so last night, I was out watching some fireworks...on the way home there was a stupid amount of traffic. My temp got up to 220, no higher, and my bike wouldn't idle anymore. It would just die. If I gave it gas, and kept on feathering the gas, it would run absolutely fine. I thought it was weird cause its been as hot as 224 and ran fine. Either way, i pulled over, waited for the temp to get back down to 190, then drove home perfectly fine with it idling normally.

So today, I go to start my bike, won't start. It turns over, no lights are flashing or staying on. The FI light and the oil light will turn on for about 10 seconds when i turn the key, but then turn themselves off. I think this is what always happens though, but i'm not positive. It will start if I feather the throttle, and keep it above 2 grand, sound horrible, but if i let go it will die. If I try to rev it to about 7 or 8, it sounds horrible, sputters a bit, and really won't let me rev it any higher than that. While i have it running, it has some smoke coming out of the exhaust, not a lot, and its not dark, but its more smoke than normal.

I just changed my oil about 500 miles ago with GN4 and an OEM oil filter, did about 300 miles over the weekend,

I tried searching this forum with no luck, so now I am just going page by page trying to find the problem.

I have a service manual, I am VERY mechanically inclined, and would love to fix this problem ASAP.

I also have adjusted the idle screw to try to get it to idle, but like an idiot i did not mark it where it originally was, so does anyone know the stock setting? Like all the way tight then how many turns out?

Thank you, I REALLY need to get this thing running while it actually isn't raining.

 

Probably should let you guys know its an 04CBR600RR with about 15500 miles on it.

 

I heard earlier tonight jay. Hopefully its not a major issue

 

Jay, I think your going to need to pull the spark plugs they might be toast.

 

So I swapped the plugs 17 bucks a piece I almost had a heart attack when the guy told me.

Checked each coilpack for spark, all had em.

Swapped the plugs, biked fired up idled, and ran great, but the idle is a little bouncy....kinda making me nervous. It might have always been like that, not too positive, but it feels a bit bouncy.

Any thoughts?

 

well since u mentioned the bouncy idle, i been having that for a while now specially when its cold after it reach the normal it doesnt boucne that much... not sure if its normal or not but mine still runs fine..
