So i'm working on the bandit 400 I bought from arimichael and things are looking much better. New plug wires, plug boots, kreem'd the tank, bunch of stuff. Haven't done anything to the carbs yet and I think its time to cause there's a flat spot.. ok, dead spot really when I hit around 6-7k rpm in 6th gear. it'll accel up to about 65~70mph but give it more gas and nothing happens.. give it a little more gas and it starts to bog down a bit. let off the gas and it recovers and hold at about that speed. No I can get it a bit past that speed in 5th up to about 75 or so but it starts bogging down again. Only does this under a load.. you can rev as much as you want sitting in neutral. One other thing that might help is after you've been going for a couple of miles and come to a stop, the idle will drop to like 500 or so for a few seconds, then it raises back up to normal idle speed. Doesn't do it if you're just tooling around the hood, but get out on the main road and will do this.
Ok, so usual suspects? I don't know if the carbs have been synced but have the tool and will do that soon, but what else can cause this sort of behavior? Help
