Problem.

WooT!

Hopefully whatever was causing your bike to act like a bitch resolved itself. Although it would be nice if you knew what it was so you could fix it if it happens again.

glad it's runn'n though

I really wanna run this tank of fuel so I can put fresh in it. I just didn't have the time yesterday. I'll run the Seafoam too.

I know...like I said...I've had this bike almost a year without a single glitch. I'm hoping my gas just sucks and fresh will correct it for good.

Air filter has not been cleaned and oil lately...still looks brand new.

When I purchased my ZR1100, the original owner told me that a weak battery will spin the motor over but not have enough spark to fire it off. The motor is an inline 4 with dual sparkplugs.

Yeah I would definately be looking into changing the filter.

Okay but it may continue to do this every so often until the filter gets completely clogged... Ya big baby!

Here's the deal. I rode it another 33 miles today. It fired right up today. It's been sitting since Friday. Idle was a touch low...so I turned it up about 500 RPM.

Also added 3oz of Seafoam to the existing 3 gallons of gas still in the tank.

Stopped the engine twice...upon re-start it fired right up as normal.


As far as I can tell it's running normal. I'm not ready to call it a fuel filter issue just yet....I wanna put a few more tanks of fuel in it. And I'm not completely convinced that my problems are over.
