Hi Everybody,
I have a 97 I Sport that has a problem that is baffling my dealer and myself. I have been getting a persistent miss and stumble at low revs/1st gear when I load up. At first, the bike would do this after about 10-20 miles or 15 minutes of riding. The bike stumbles and stalls but will rev freely when the clutch is disengaged.
At one point, I could pull over when it started to miss at speed, shut it down and let it 'rest and think' for five minutes and restart it and ride for another 10 mile before I had to rinse and repeat. Now it is doing it shortly after warm up rather than acting up after really getting into a ride.
The dealer''s tech says the rust in tank is clogging the system but the petcock filter and fuel filters are clean. The tank was stripped and recoated by the previous owner. I am ready to strip and reline it but I am not entirely convinced this is the issue.
The bike has a Will Creadon chip and was running well prior to this problem arising. Any thoughts?
