new strom cuts out/backfires/stalls on pull away

[bosnjo]

Next week I'm lifting the tank to check those wires and protect them, probably with the plastic spiral you use to roll your computer cables in, to keep them together. Here is example photo:

Also, I want to check the connector behind the radiator and see what I can do to protect it against water.

Laava,

Yep I see your post and plan to lift the tank next weekend to take a look and put some preventative measures in place. My cutting out issue has been from day 2 of picking the bike up so doubtful its chaffed wires but you never know. Will also be taking a look at the connector block behind/above the radiator too.

As I said, only two test runs so far (I don't get to use the bike until wknds) but so so so much smoother and responsive with the new exhaust, combined with the previously adjusted TPS to 28.9 and remap.

Silently chuffed, but mindful it may not be permanent!

Hmmm.. Wiring an easy check. Oddbod, where did you get your can from? None of my googled suppliers seem to have it available.

Thanks all for contributing to this thread!

I got my titanium Arrow end can from WRS in Italy. They do trade on eBay after adding a few pounds to the online price.

Muchas gracias, Senor oddbod!

Tim (practising for October....)

[oddbod]

No worries Tim.

Hope you enjoy.

You off to Spain again then? I'm trying to get to the Alps again this summer. 2 weeks through Germany, Austria, Leichtenstein, Switz. Will hurtle through France at beginning and end. Hopefully no sudden health issues will arise this time .

How the bike running though?

[wunwinglow]

Yes, in October hopefully. Like last time, but not quite so long a trip this time. I wrote a little article in my bike groups latest magazine, although watch out for a couple of mistakes; for example we went to Santander, not Barcelona!!! It was very late when I was typing....

excellent, great stufffffff

I recommend you have a look at these wires as I will bet I am not the only person this will happen to.

Thanks to warning Laava posted here, I went through full check of those wires and found heavy rubbing signs. Solved it now and making separate thread about the problem.
Thanks Laava !!

Had the 600 mile service done, guess what ?   Yes you're correct , cough splutter on pull away from idle and when the engines hot it's got the idle hammer. To be fair it's not happening all the time , but its there.  

Just like described on the Stormtrooper forum "chudder chudder clack clack" , what do they do on that 600 mile service ?  I noticed it almost immediately after picking the bike up. Feels like it's a bit rough accelerating from low revs too. It was perfect before the service. MPG has suffered too, it was aroung 49-50 mpg now its already down to 42mpg.

[Simmo24]

A couple of hundred miles now after the service and the problem seems to have gone away  
Mind you I had it in for the technicians to check it out, but they couldn't find anything wrong. (Surprise !),
they did however re-seat all those exposed connectors above the radiator and waterproof them at my request, so whether this did anything I'm not sure. It's running fine so far though.

I have a 1000 64 plate and mine does the same and my friends to told them on my service 600 about this problem they said Suzuki  know of problem and it's the exhurst bolts loos on back  cylinder  ??  Mine still does it but notas often ??   It now has a knocking noise since service only on back cylinder  going back shop on mon grrrrrr

[bosnjo]

Your text is a bit confused. If I understood well, exhaust bolts on rear cylinder are loose and Suzuki knows about that? So, it was loose on your bike and after they tighten it, it got better?
Keep us posted on your new visit to a dealer.

Hi did you ever resolve this problem as that sounds exactly the same as what my does

[bosnjo]

In the meantime, it has been discovered that ECU swap solves those problems. Mine has been solved with new ECU and many others. There is long thread about new ECU on this forum.
