Hi Guys,
A friend lent me his 96 Daytona 900 for a couple of days to try out before buying one one myself.
I love the bike, but this one has developed an intermittant fault.
I was wondering if this was a common problem amongst these bikes. And perhaps if you guys knew what it might be if it was a common fault.
Basically at speed the bike is 100%. However, in traffic at low RPM's the bike will die at times for no apparent reason. The rev counter can even drop from like 2 to 3K like a stone ...you get nothing, go on the button and it will swing over quickly and occassionally bang and pop, then..for no reason with no change (clutch in or out) it will just start and run..till the next traffic lights where it may fail it may not. Some times it actually dies at low speed when running in gear with low revs.
THe only solution is to keep the bike above 3K all the time.
Any ideas? Anyone seen anything like this?..and now how to fix it?
LOL
