Dear all,
Lately I have been experiencing some nasty issue with the RD07 AT (1995).
This issue popped up when driving for 30 km’s at around 130 km/h. Suddenly, the bike started to loose power and couldn’t maintain that speed. I stopped and couldn’t start it again. After a while it ran again but only on choke. Then I could drive a bit (2km) before the issue started reoccurring. Drove on 1 cylinder an eventually died again. This went on till I ran out of battery juice.
Had to leave the bike there overnight. Road side assistance came next morning, bike started without issues and seemed like it was fixed again.
At home I measured battery charging power and alternator. All was OK.
End of that week the problems started reoccurring again. After 40 km’s of highway driving it started losing power and popping from the exhaust again, top speed was only 80. I had to take every exit because it was running so poorly. No power at all. I got home but with a lot of stops.
Now I brought the bike to the shop, they changed the fuel filter, that was really bad. They checked for other issues but there weren’t any.
Now the thing is it runs fine, haven’t driven any long distances anymore, so don’t know if it still looses power after 30 km’s or driving highway. But after 20 min of driving idle rpm goes up to 1600, and the bike is popping from the exhaust a lot. On idle and de-acceleration.
Does anyone have a clue what this issue could be? I ran out thoughts.
Your help would be highly appreciated!
Regards Marc
