Unsolved engine die/halt at stopping from gear 6

 

Scenerio.

 

 

- bike idle cold start 1400rpm

 

- bike riding for 15 minutes above...... then at junction stopping, bike slows down and brake / pull clutch to downshift gear - engine die

 

- restart engine and saw tachometer at 1000rpm

 

- open a bit throtlle to make the rpm go 1400

 

- now idling at 1400rpm or sometime at 1500rpm

 

- at traffic light red color, the bikes is at 1400rpm

 

 

the bike never exceed 1500rpm

 

the scenerio is extremely danger cause few times cars / taxi horn because i do sudden stopping. It is irritating and scary at T-junctions.

Totally free of charge

 

 

checked pilot screw - air screw - tune to 3.5 anticlockwise. Earlier was 6 turning.

the handlebar moved left right to test if the throttle cable hinders the timing

monitored if got increase / decrease in idling – NOT at all

serviced rear master pump brake

checked swingarm boosh

lubricate throttle cable

lubricate clutch cable

clean fuel tank cover lid

checked all fuel pipes

 

 

The problem still persists. Emailed engineer

 

1. He said it is the main jet clogged. Need to clean thoroughly – maybe insert a steel wire and clean the tiny hole.

 

2. Pilot screw to 2 1/4 turns back.

 

3. To get the pilot screw setting, first turn the pilot screw clockwise until it seats. Then turn 2 1/4 turns anti-clockwise. This is the proper setting for pilot screw.

 

4. The MainJet #130 indicated in the Parts Catalogue is outdated. The correct size of MJ is #110

Welcome to the club!

[cicak]

I have an idea!

 

Since it's quite hard to source out parts for Raider, why dont we have an outing to Suzuki SC where bro Gunshead purchase his stuff? So next time we can all know where to go for parts. Gunshead can become our tour guide

[dragsterwish]

Welcome to the club!

 

Thanks! Hope to revive the Raider spirit! And share lobang! ; )

[MisledSoulRider]

Hi guys, any one of you have experience with throttle hesitation at low rpm?

At rpm up to about 6k, the throttle is very laggy and once above 6k, the power returns.

 

Is it problem with carb setting (too lean) or dirty injector or spark plug?

[gunshead]

dragsterwish,

 

i do not know the meaning of 'hesitation' in your sentence referring to.

However, all raiders not very smmoth at gear 3 and gear 4 if go very very slow. this bike is designed to sppeeeeeddddddd

 

I suppose it is the design of bike with the small CV carb.

 

Anyway, hard to explain or eloborate here

 

how about we all RAIDERS join and then swap bikes and test . better picture of real Raider

[dragsterwish]

Hi Gunshead,

 

Low Throttle hesitation is quite a common problem. It means that when u open throttle at low rpm to move off, the power doesn't come instantly but seems to hesitate a bit before it gradually delivers power. As rpm climbs pass 5k, the power returns and the bike surge ahead. This hesitation makes the raider rides like a 2-stroke bike. At lower rpm below 5k, the engine sometimes sputter a bit when i cruise at 3-4k rpm. Do you guys experience this? I normally cruise my raider at low rpm and enter the high rpm zone during acceleration or overtaking.

 

I thot its b'cos the engine is tuned for higher rpm power and that's why the lower rpm power seems a bit weak.

 

Maybe u were right, the raider is designed to speeeeeeddd.... it somehow doesn't like low rpm running.

Im experiencing the same problem. Think its normal though. Im using aftermarket pipe header n stock airfilter, which might be the cause. Not enough air intake to supply the high air flow. Gonna change to openpod air filter n see the outcome soon.

Wow, fierce setup you've there! I sent my Raider back to the workshop for checkup. The mechanic changed the Carb Diaphgram and it solved the problem! Now the low rpm response is very smooth; feels like a new bike!

 

I kinda like the original pipe's exhaust sound. Heard the aftermarket pipe and it didn't sound as sporty. So i'm keeping to stock. vroom!

[gunshead]

how much diapghram and the labour cost ?
