zx6r holding back

[chappy]

Hi there my zx6r g2 needed to go in for a new chain and sproket change so i asked the man to sync carbs why it in there 2 . I took the standed can of and put my new pipe works slip on can on day before so he could tune carbs to this . I Tested it first seam to run sweet ..

So bike machanic calls said bike ready to be picked up . I went along to grab it and he said the carbs did not need doin they already set up for the exhaust old owner could of had it done before sale and put standed can back on . But he did say he turnd the idel up a bit .

So bike running smooth no knocks from the chain smooth in gears but just aint got that killer pull it used to have in high revs it seams bit slow picking up speed and i need to knock it down a gear to 5th on motoway ridding as 6 dont pick up speed fast .

The machanic said the idel was only thing touched on bike so could this be problem . Unless he aint tightend up the carb rubbers proply .
By way he builds race bikes at his shop so always used him no problems before. Any help wot to look for please guys .. ??

Is the airbox on properly?

I think yours is ram air, and if it's like the ZZR6E the tubes from the ram air can be a bit of a git to get into the airbox, so there could be an issue there.

But when googleing somone mentioned the idle speed bein touched in a old post and he did touch mine so fort problem lies there as was nerver a problem till he touched it .

In my experience, adjusting my idle speed does just that and affects nothing else.

The idle speed normally (and sure it's the case on this model) just sets the minimum opening where the throttle cable actuates. It makes no difference once you have opened the throttle.

Ok thanks for help so i put it down to him bolting the ram air / carbs wrong . I give that ago . Also try the old can back on there . Thanks for help

Mine hated an aftermarket can, it ran like a pile of crap, if your going with the sporty can accept that you will also need proper rejetting and dyno time/dynojet kit.

I put the standard can back on just could not be bothered with it all.
