CBR600 F3 farting at 5k then stalling

My CBR600 FS (95) has gone all limp around the 5-6k rpm mark. It sounds like a flatulent hippo after a curry, but if you throttle back, it clears up after the 6k mark.

I was willing to put with it until the next service (It's done 14, 600), but tonight it stalled a couple of times coming home.

I changed the filter at the weekend in case that was the problem, but it didn't help. The workshop don't have any space for 2 weeks...is it worth using Redex to try and clean it up, or should I wait for the pro's? Question

cheers
p.s. Some nice chap on a speed triple stopped to make sure I was ok... cheers fella!

Garage had a look today, carbs are clean, jets ok, filter ok...still running very rich?

It's off to the Dynojet ninjas tomorrow..fingers crossed.

Have you changed anything - exhaust, fuel etc?

What Garth said. It sounds like a fuel problem in that the engine is possibly flooding at 5-6k, causing your "flatulence".

I've heard that dynojets can mis-shape after a few years, so if you've got them in, then they may be the problem. Hopefully the dynojet guys will be able to find something.

All sorted now...
The bike spent a day at the Dynojetters...here's what they found,
a) Wrong size jets
b) Wrong position
c) vaseline in the sparkplugs!!!

So that was fun then...cost my a small fortune but all sorted now.

It must have been dodgy since I got the bike because the ride in today was great, tons more power, no "flat" area's, all fine and fluffy (except for the rain Rolling Eyes

)

Thanks for trying to sort it guys..appreciated Thumbs Up
