well my bike has been riding like crap lately, so i changed out my sparkplugs 2 nights ago

turns out the previous owner put in the 600RR plugs, and they were fouled up pretty good

i replaced em with the reg f4i plugs cuz no one around had the RRs in stock


well now gas mileage and performance has improved (i did a power wheelie in 2nd) but... i stilll have a weird dying issue

randomly while im strolling up to a stop light my bike will start to idle funny(below 500k) , then die...anyone else have this problem or know the fix?

 

500 rpms? it's supposed to idle at around 1300k. Adjust your idler.

 

i think he's bike is idling ok at 1300, but sometimes, it drops to 5 and dies...

did it do this before the plug swap or no?

 

is the idler screw on the end of a cable behind the left fairing ?

 

yea like by your knee, looks like a plastic gear wheel.

 

Have the battery and rectifier checked.

 

it idles fine, only every once and a while the rpms will drop at a light when im comming to a stop and it will die.

it does it if im holding the clutch or while im in neutral

and yes, i had this problem b4 the spark plug change

 

what does the rectifier do? i read the service manual but seemed kinda confusing on what im testing here

if i understand what it does, then i can make sure its functioning properly

It changes AC current from the generator to DC current for the electical and charging system.

It's responsible for 99% of all bike electrical problems.

 

hmmm well that makes it sound pretty simple... ill check that out while im waitin on my Tire to ship

ridin on threads aint fun[:@]
