Post by sillywilly »

How u all going ? Was half way over granya this arvo on my 08 zx10 when i got up it it was like it hit the rev limiter at about 8000rpm but when the bike was out of gear the bike would rev freely right to the red line.Not sure whats going on .What do u all recon it could be ?The 08 zx10 only has a slip-on .Hopefully its an easy fix . :kuda:

Not sure how they react when they go but maybe fuel pump?

Certainly could be fuel pump.

It could run fine when cold but when hot the ecu starts to lean the fuel out however the bike is already lean due to a partly blocked fuel pump. Thus the surging and lack of power when secondaries open.

Could also be blocked fuel lines, dud spark plug, maybe O2 sensor
