Molly Posted May 20, 2008 Share Posted May 20, 2008 Just lately my 2000 V11 seems to have lost it's pep. Used to surprise me sometimes when I wound it on and it really shifted. Now it's just a bit 'flat' if you know what I mean. Not very technical or specific sorry. Maybe I've eaten one too many pies? Any thoughts?

pete roper Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Look, it could be anything! If it's lost it's Zing though the obvious first step would be to give it a tune up! Then fit an orgone accumulator and check out the henweigh. From there on in it would probably be best to get a Crystal Therapist to have a look at it Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlaing Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 From there on in it would probably be best to get a Crystal Therapist to have a look at it Pete I heard my name mentioned. The man's bike needs a black opal on the left and a rose quartz on the right, both mounted on the upper triple clamp, and a tune-up!!! After mounting the Crystals, start with valves, insert new spark plugs, then set the TPS, balance the TBs, go for a ride, smile and send a donation to the forum Admin mentioning how valuable it is to have free Crystal Therapy available online. But you can skip the rocks and go right to the tune up and you will get roughly the same result Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Molly Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 No use to me those replies but very entertaining. I'll change the plugs actually. Bike's running rich as it happens. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well if it's running rich, then that's where your zip went! When's the last time you changed the air filter? Sounds like a TPS recalibration may be in your future...

Could be that the temp sensor is faulty so the ecu's "choke" is always on ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Molly Posted May 21, 2008 Author Share Posted May 21, 2008 Could be that the temp sensor is faulty so the ecu's "choke" is always on ? That's interesting actually. It's just had an air filter so it's not that I suppose but I am interested in the idea that the choke might be on. By the way, it returns a regular 38 to 40mpg (UK gallon). I'll find and check the sensor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeBenGuzzi Posted May 21, 2008 Share Posted May 21, 2008 Could be that the temp sensor is faulty so the ecu's "choke" is always on ? didn't think these had any kind of "choke" I know my 2000 is just a high idler and not a choke but a fresh set of plugs and checkment of tb's then maybe go with a fresh tune. just pour this all over the bike and all will be fine don't worry baby you'll get your mojo back Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dlaing Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 No use to me those replies but very entertaining. So, you already tried the quick tune up of valve adjustment, TPS setting, throttle body balance and it is still running weak? Then I would check air filter as Skeeve suggested.

dlaing Posted May 22, 2008 Share Posted May 22, 2008 your right there isn't a "choke" but "the ECU's cold start enrichment" takes longer to type Lazy fingers! But good point about the sensor. As you probably know, some pack the sensor housing with conductive grease to help transmit the engine heat to the sensor. Also, the sensor could simply be loose, which could make it run cooler. Careful tightening it as the plastic housings break from minimal torque. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
