stumble

I've now had my first short ride on the SLR and enjoyed it very much. It's so much lighter, narrower and more chuckable than the Strom. However, having EFI on my last 2 bikes has spoiled me a little. The SLR has a stumble just coming off idle which is a bit annoying. It feels as though it's a...

This has nothing to do with motorcycles at all. However I hope that this "short" story will interest some of You guys. I happened to stumble upon a website dedicated to Forced Landings in Sweden during the war years. I’d just had to find if there were any within the vicinity of my home, and...

i've scratched a bald patch on my head so now time to ask. could a non resistor spark plug or duff plug cap interfere with the cdi and cause a slight stumble around 3-4000 rpm? i have checked fuelling and breather pipes are clear, fuel pipes new, carb cleaned although the "O" ring on the inlet...

Hi All, New member Stumble here! First I have to say that I wish I'd found this site earlier, as I could have saved a few pennies!!. Well this is my situation, I have an 06 125 varadero, a few days ago on the way home from work(after night shift) the bike started an ran fine. The rain was...

As some of you may know my recently purchased low mileage vfr 750 came with a bit of a misfire/stumble when hot..... After checking the obvious, a delve a little deeper showed high resistance in 2 of the 4 plug caps, 1 had variable/inconsistent resistance & 1 was correct...... Come to think of...

The new to me vfr 750 has a misfire/stumble when hot & accelerating. Prior to my purchase on Saturday the carbs were cleaned & plugs checked. Since then I have given the bike; *Oil & filter change *Checked plugs - 1 was cracked so replaced it (Halfords only had the 1!) * checked & cleaned/...

Hi. New to this forum but have found it very usefull. Good work people. Anyway, i've decided to resurrect the Mrs's 91 Dominator. She's owned it for what must be 18yrs. She fell off it about 10 or 12 years ago and parked it. Never rode it again. Unfortunately for the last 7 or 8 of those it's...

I like New year, but I get a little emotional at the bells, thinking of loved ones no longer with us. That's the way it is with me, an old year ends, a new begins, hoping that the people that matter most to me will be here this time next year. I know, I'm a big softie at heart really :D...

After reading a plethora of plunger plague threads - 90% say the problem was worse on the front cylinder - I pulled mine and tried to figure out what was wrong. My bike ran fine, which the exception of one stumble and a hiccup over the past month, but was struggling to get more than 39mpg. My...

You might stumble across an enduro in Thetford forest whilst out for a quiet walk...I say quiet, couldn't help but walk towards the noise of two strokes!

Had a fantastic 1,622 mile trip round Scotland. Hit a lot of amazing passes and loads of good biking roads. Putting the rain and midges to the side Scotland is a great place to tour round. Cant wait to go back……here’s the trip and a few photos. Map view on my website www.xrvadventure.co.uk...

Hi Folks, Off uup North this August (God and Wife willing) but do't fancy the hours of M'way dullness. Anyone got a fast scenic route I can use, even for some decent chunks to keep me feeling alive. I would love to just 'do' the coast(from Devon), but fear it would take the whole time, and...

Ireland and Scotland [Very long and lots of Pics] Hi All, I have been meaning to post up the pictures of my trip since I got back but only getting around to it now... Anyway, the plan was to spend a week riding around on my first proper tour on the bike so I decided to leave from my home in...

Where to start – probably with the first attempt at packing the bike at 8pm the night before catching the 7.30am ferry from the island to Liverpool. That wasn’t my best idea ever, especially as I was carrying clothes for a week with family after the weekend too! I loaded the top box with...

Does anyone know of any motorbike shops in New York? As a 40th Birthday treat me and me gurls are taking Mum to New York for a week, it would be great if I could "stumble" across a place that I can then use to take advantage of the mighty pound/dollar exchange rate :teeth: Obviously this will...

Funny the things you stumble across when searching for completely unrelated things in Google! Varadero Movie :D

Hi, Needing some help. My TA (XL600VX - the err, 50th anniversary model) has developed an intermitent "stumble" when ridden. It feels as though one cylinder intermitently cuts out and I suspect that it is the rear one since the rev counter doesn't falter during the "stumbles". I know some...
