I had this same problem when i first got the bike. Cannot leave basement carpark cos of slope.

Once u have the budget, do the following:-

1) inspect the air filter, if like sh*t, change new (i think $100+, can ask Nineh pls)

2) go for carb wash and carb tuning ($85 at Bikeworkz)

3) Tune your idling speed to 1.5 - 1.8k rpm

OK, if got EXTRA budget, add on the following:-

4) change EO to MAxima Ultra ($22-24/-)

5) CHange spark plugs

6) Use FP60 fuel additive + LC20 EO additive ($30++)

After 1 to 3 above, i think your bike can take on Bay's bike 100m dash....

After 1 to 6 above, next time go for trips, u will kena speeding ticket like Datok (Vince) for speeding @ 160kph or wait for the rest at next R&R like Rudinko. :thumb:

 

It is 180 KM/H when was stop at the road block....some more the polis man want to show me my photo.... :)

bro, no offence.. but is 1.5k to 1.8k rpm a bit too high..

 

one thing about the vara is about getting used to it.. just need to rev more before moving off.. and one more thing, dont look at the RPM.. feel the bike.. after a few days of doing it, u can somehow estimate the sound of the engine and associate it with the finger releasing the clutch lever.

 

one more thing, check whether u got water into ur fuel tank that caused the misfiring of the sparkplugs... because of that it might cause the sudden high rev despite the constant revving..

 

Wow..small boy is back in action !!!!!!.....POWER !!!!

need ur help guys..

my bike pick up is very slow,the main reason is that the rpm would stay in the 2-3 region for a few seconds then suddenly shoots up to 4-5...i tried open the throttle abit more but no difference..as a result i always get honked by cars behind me:(

now everytime before moving off from traffic light,i would open the throttle first till the rpm reach 4 then i would be able to move off smoothly..

also due to this my bike sometimes stall on the slope bcoz shortage of power...

 

anyone facing this problem before or would know what is the problem..?

would really appreaciate it..:)

 

do the cheapest troubleshooting first...

>>>> change spark plugs

 

the throttle cable or the fuel delivery is unlikely to be faulty...

In my point of view, there are some possible reasons why would this happen.

 

 

1st -> Like what AI-Simmons said, maybe you need to change your Spark Plugs. But if you have just changed it. Then go to 2nd point.

 

2nd -> Most likely it is the carb problem, go to K&T and he will rectify your problem. You can see how bad your carb was synchronized carb when they use the vaccuum meter. After that, they will do a tuning of your fuel & air mixture. I have heard from some of our vara bros that in some cases, only 1 of the piston is working instead of two. Thus, it will result in lack of power.

 

3rd -> Air flow might be also be a problem. If you air filter is clogged up, lesser air will be able to flow in and thus there will be a bad combustion. If your air filter is K&N, then you can ask them to wash it. But if yours is the original OEM, then you got to change it.

 

Have fun troubleshooting. And love riding the vara.
