Throttle
Posted: Fri Dec 30, 2011 10:15 pm
I've been working on and off my '92 Seca II for a while now and have had it to the point where I am using it to commute(regardless of weather) almost daily. I've managed to work out most of the issues and everything appears well but I've started noticing a bit of a problem when I ride a little more aggressive. If I try to flog the throttle everything goes great until I'm close to full throttle, the bike goes from a high pitch whine to a low rumble and feels like the acceleration has dropped...regardless of rpm.
About up to 80% throttle it works as anticipated, more throttle more acceleration, but beyond that it feels very lackluster. This doesn't seem to be a huge issue until I start to hit highway speeds, if I have the need to blip the throttle past 6000 rpm quickly the bike feels like its running closer to 2000 rpm. I can go about 50% throttle and ease my way up which is fine in the higher rpms, but if I hit it to hard I feel like I'm just crawling.
I've cleaned the carbs thoroughly, and have rejetted them. I haven't had the chance to make a manometer to balance them yet.
