Question Hi Guys, I replaced the rings, valves, and gaskets. But didn't check the timing marks when I did it. (inexperience)finally got the bike running. adjusted the valves. bike idles normal but when I took it for a test run it is back firing and wanting to stall out in 2nd gear, like it's not getting enough power. Any one know what the problem might be it seems like the timing is right. but not sure.
Thanks for any help you can give
Answersounds to me like if you've got the bike to idle, but looses power, you may have the timing 1 tooth advanced and it looses compression. Your bike should have a timing advance unit thats controlled by intertia either off the crank or cam. if theres a chance that this is true, the timing is already advanced and when you get your speed up, its advanced too far having your valve timing off to the point you dont have enough compression to fire ...
Line up your timing marks and start from square 1 to see where you are, then assume something else is going on, but this is where i believe you should start..
Hope this helps!
