Hi guys

My 2001 cbr 929 pulses on idle as well as she misses as I go to pull away from a traffic light or stop sign. As I'm letting the clutch out, she rools about 10-15 foot as I roll on the throttle she hiccups. Just once (kind of like she bucks). I can hear the chain lock-up for a split second. No symptoms whatsoever over 2000 rpms. Any suggestions???

Thanks, Joe

 

What's your idle speed set at? How many miles on it? Have you ever adjusted the valves or done any maintenance on it?

 

idle speed is set around 1500. Only maintenance so far was oil changes. I have a k&n filter and yosh pipe. Every few tanks I do run some injector cleaner with a full tank. Bike has 10,400 miles.

 

That's low mileage for a 15 year old bike.

Honestly, the 929 low rpm bog seems to be common. Others have complained of it and both the 929s that I have had do that too. I just roll the throttle easy until 2000 rpms, then nail it. I hoping to cure it with a 954 ecm, tb, injector, and cam conversion this winter. They revised the entire injection system in 03, so maybe it will work. Keep an eye out for my thread in a few months...

 

Thank you.

Sounds good. I'll keep an eye out for you.

The bike definitely has low mileage. I picked it up in 05-06 with 5k miles on it. Every year I plan on riding more, but my work schedule gets the best of me and I carry tools, so the pick up is more feasible.
