HI people, looking for some advice. My storm just ccasionally cuts out........seemingly for no reason at all! it happens when im of the revs and the engine is idling, sometimes making a really undescribable harsh noise when it does cut out?? any ideas??..........oh and a quick push on the start and it fires straight back up.
Is the harsh noise like a carb fart? My Storm occasionally coughs/backfires once warm and if I am at idle then he will die, should be cured once I have dyno'd/ rejetted the bike if |I ever get round to it ( not such a big deal to be honest). You may find that your bike has been set up for different cans and needs a re jet.
I see myself as a sensitive intelligent man but with the heart of a clown that causes me to **ck things up right at that crucial moment........'Jim Morrison'
On a service the mechanic would usually set the idle to 1000rpm.
Storms are known to cut out occasionly even on slowing down quickly.
Would highly recommend NGK Iridium sparkies and just turn the idle up a fraction to about 1200rpm.
If the problem persists sometimes its down to a small pin hole in the diaphram of the carbs.
mine dont cut out, but does cough and fart loud under tank...and thats been set up dyno jet plus k&n!!!..im told they all do it.....thats one thing i dont like about storm's...
