Scary moment

[SMR610]

A couple of times now my bike has bogged down whilst trying to
make a quick getaway from a standstill, this afternoon was the
worst cos it did it on a busy roundabout with a car looming down
on me.
Bike is a GPZ1100 running CVs and seperate K&Ns, do you think
it`s this carb setup that is causing this problem or should I be
looking else where?
Any advice most welcomed or I`ll have to find a route to work
without roundabouts.

Cheers

Are they Dynojetted
CV carbs are notoriously difficult to set up with K&N's (or any non standard filter). Either get a standard airbox or non CV carbs, Mikuni RS are best, for around ?200 on eBay

we need a bit more info on your bike cv type air box etc.

[SMR610]

Not sure what bike the carbs are off of but they are
standard issue Mikunis, was told they were
Dyno jetted haven`t checked though, if they are what
size would the jets be?
There is no airbox it`s got 4 K&N cone type filters.

[Pigford]

If Dynojetted, the needles are usually 'waisted' near the end, its also common for the hole in the casting that lets air into the rubber CV bit, to have been drilled out a bit. As for jet size, you need to know what the standards were

is this a new problem or has it always happened?

[SMR610]

I haven`t had this bjke long, it has done it before but I think
It was more noticable this time cos it happened in busy traffic.

Went looking for it today, if I use reasonable amounts of throttle
or have at least 3500rpm dialled in you`d never know there`s a
problem if the throttle is cracked open quick at lower revs then
it bogs down and gets spluttery release the throttle a bit and it
starts to pick up cleanly.
