GTRHey Mike,
Happy holidays!
Sorry I delayed, I didn’t think we would hear back from you so soon since i think the K&N filter was the last thing the bike needed before its road test.
Has it been through its road test yet to see how it behaves or will it just cut out if you put it in first gear ?
If you are adamant these are okay below:
- Clutch Switch was bypassed by previous keeper and disconnecting it cuts the bike off (as a test) then put it back on. or the switch is not cut off but it’s working.
- SideStand has been bypassed and waterproofed well as rusty terminals will make it behave temperamental too. The CDI always “wants” a complete circuit (either from the switch itself or by bridging the wires aka bypass
If the bullet points check out OK above ?
I will ask again, if the bike idles fine
- Can it take a short ride down the street without an airbox or will the engine cut off once in first gear ?
- If you fit the airbox and free flow filter back on and take a ride , does it seem better as the speed increases ? Ie. from 5mph to 20mph local street speed (basically putting more load on the bike to see how it behaves ?
Please try these so that i can have a more clear cut answer as in regards to your post just before i responded now. You got this….
What you have been through just now , i have experienced it myself on a donor bike that’s also an 03 and a 66 plate donor bike , but they had different causes. So i want to be sure what i can advise you next … Do the tests and report back if you can, it’s a warm week 🙂
I will watch this topic
