Hey everyone,
Hoping you guys might be able to give me some advice.
My bike was down on power a few weeks ago (i could be in 5th, wring the throttle and it would pull, but not having me flying off the bike like it should). I took the tank and airbox off, put everything back together, also made sure the breather hoses on the tank weren't kinked.
As soon as I got back on the bike, it came alive and the problem was gone.
I attributed it to a kinked breather vent hose off the gas tank.
Current Problem:
Recently, there was a somewhat heavy rain (bike was covered). After the weather passed, I decided to take the bike out and about a mile or two out, I felt a pretty significant power loss and then sound/felt like I was running on two cylinders. I rode home, took the tank off, pulled the airbox, coils, plugs. Plugs looked ok.
Fired up tune ecu tonight and all three cyls are firing , but im still feeling power loss (and it sounds like the idle is fine).
Could is be another kinked hose somewhere? In the past I also replaced the coil collars (the ones the 06 came with were crap and let water leak past them), so I dont think water got into the plug holes. That said, its quite possible that water got into the fuel tank somehow.
Im sort of perplexed as to what else to check. I feel like its running the same as when I was experiencing the first bout of power loss.
Thanks for any suggestions!
