So i changed my oil from spectro golden semi-synthetic to repsol 4t race full synthetic for the summer and i developed a stalling issue afterwards

now @ 192F when i shift out of first to second (literally just pull in the clutch) the bike stalls out on me she starts right back up and has no problems after that...
Also starting has been a little more difficult....
I did put in a fuel injector cleaner at the same time as the oil change maybe it was a bad bottle...

I was thinking of just replaceing plugs (it is probably time to do that anyway)

any ideas

how much cleaner did you use as a bottle is usualy meant for a fulltank in a car which is normaly at least twice the size of a bikes. might be worth syphoning out the tank and topping up with fresh fuel as ive heard of valves burning on some engines if theres too much cleaner

check if the battery is properly connected.

So i replaced the plugs with the ngk iridiums (that was what was in her) and now i remember why i loved this bike.... what a difference new plugs made.... oh and my air filter was fouled (so i cleaned it as well).... so the outside plugs (left to right 1 and 4) were both rusted/ the intake tubes dont connect all that well and i ride in the rain, i can only assume that caused it...

started her up rpms were way high like 3k ran 3 heat cycles and all seems quite well.... she doesnt stall anymore at 192F but she does stumble to about 800 if i pull in the clutch... so im on a fresh tank of 91 octane (the highest i can find here) i have heard of a place in the bay area that sells 107 anyone know???

107 octane is either race gas or avgas. You don't need it, just a good blast to clear the carbon.
