First day out on the gsx in the complete dry...
Just a quick question.. The run was a very spirited run shall we say..
When going flat out in a few Gears it seemed if the.bike was pulling back in high revs like a fuel cut or limiter?
was it the past red line
as the 14 does have a rev limiter not sure where it's set at but is above 9000 rpm
:popcorn:
No seth not past rev line but defo high up in revs
was it in all gears or just in the highest you got in to ?
have you checked your fuel pump fitlers ?
if you can give as much info as possible folk may be able to give you idea's on what to check.
sound fuel starvation from what you have said so far.
:cheers:
I agree with what you think.. Fuel starvation..
What would be cause of that..
Really online noticed it in possible 3Rd 4th and 5th
i just had problems with fuel pump filter and had my injectors cleaned made a massive difference. (company listed in the srvices section cost £57 for all 4)
has the bike been standing for a while ?
you could try running some red X throught your fuel system via adding to your fuel.
as a first step .
Thanks lad
Or rather than Injector cleaner, run a couple of tankfuls of super unleaded instead
I have used this additive couple of times in a year: RED LINE SI-1 Fuel System Cleaner.
And it seems to work.
Agree with everyone, my bike behaved the same above 6000 turned out to be one fouled injector.
Had the bike out today for 250mile round trip.
Added a fuel cleaner doesn't seem to have sorted the problem issue comes into play above 6500rpm..
id try stripping and cleaning the filters on the fuel pump
if you need a replacement low-pressure (ree-bag) filter give me a shout and I'll send you one.
tho mine cleaned really well with halfords carb cleaner .
:cheers:

Cheers thanks will have a look through the week
Guys I took out fuel pump today it was absolutely horrible what gunk was in it.. Cleaned it all up reinstalled and problem solved.. Bike is crisper on Throttle and no more pull back higj up in revs
I've put in a in-line filter between the tank and the fuel pump pick-up
its all low pressures (gravity feed)
will stop the same thing happening again or at least stop it getting as far as the fuel pump filter
glad you found the problem and its running great again
:cheers:
Interesting read. Glad you got it fixed mate.
On the subject of crap in the fuel pump - Do you think this could have been avoided by running super unleaded quite regularly? Just wondering.
i run super unleaded every 4th tank or so with red x in between.
it wouldn't help with this problem tho .
thats why i fitted a inline filter before the fuel pump to stop any crap reaching the pump it's self :cheers:
Not sure bout the super unleaded... The bike I purchased seemed to have being standing in a shed for a while..
The gunk was a rusty colour. Possibly corrison on inside of the tank?

Here is pic of inside the housing where the fuel pump sits.. Also the filter was in a horrendous state with all the rusty looking crap
mate, youve only sorted half the problem. your high pressure filter will still be blocked. read on here how to by pass and fit external filter. best thing youll ever do.
i don't think it needs a bypass of the high pressure filter if he cleaned the low pressure side and adds a inline low pressure side it should be fine .
i would wash/clean the high pressure side with plenty of carb cleaner.

Where is the high-pressure filter located??
its inside the big black part of the fuel pump
its sealed so you can't remove the actual filter .
but you'll see the fuel outlet just use loads of carb cleaner to wash it out .
things should be ok after that if your tank looks like its not in the best condition internally give it a wash out with petrol and then fit a inline filter between the tank and fuel pump.
good luck
