It could be as simple as refuelling with dirty fuel. Fuel service stations are supposed to change out their filters regularly. Also if they don’t keep the tanks full condensation builds up contaminating the fuel. This is then passed onto the motorist. I would also check from the service stations you get fuel what their regimen is in maintaining their product. Although it might not be that, but over here we get contaminated fuel all the time.

One problem I have found here in OZ is that the real old servos are the cause for a lot of contaminated fuel. Back in the dark ages (70's ) the tanks were made of metal, usually straight steel. Overtime the steel starts to beak down and this is another reason for dirty fuel. The modern fuel tanks out here are polymer so the breaking down is minuscule.

I agree with @Outback Outlaw....fueling up with dirty fuel! I would suggest this. 1) Using a fuel can; get a fuel sample from your regular fuel station and pour some into a mason jar and check for debris (could be the liner on the storage tank deteriorating) or 2) try a different fuel station, but using the same method, as above, to check again for contamination. Hope this helps.

Brandon, I'm a 1/3 through this video and even here in Australia I can tell you what is wrong. 43,000 miles is a long way for you fuel injectors to work perfectly. The fuel filter you showed also tell me the you have been getting dirty fuel. Most of the time the fuel injectors will pump through without a problem however, now it's gotten to the stage the the injectors need cleaning or replacing. The first warning sign is when you give the throttle a fistful you get the starving of fuel. Just so you know I own a Yam Roadliner XV1900.

Good process going through it all logically. I would have replaced the clutch too with those symptoms. Fuel filter gets discolored, that just looks like normal color. But your pump is good, don’t mess with it. My next step would be to clean the fuel injectors if you can (Seafoam in tank is a cheap way, but sometimes you need to pull them). Also check if the fuel lines are due to be replaced. I have a 2014 Triumph that they said to replace the fuel lines to the rail at 4 years. The bike only had 9000 miles on it, so I thought I would skip that. NOPE. They were literally breaking down internally and put little rubber pieces all in my injectors. So just check that. Does the bike have an ECU that needs the air sensor? Possible the sensor isn’t reading enough air when you dump it hard, so it is holding back fuel until the air catches up? I don’t know either. But this is great content and I applaud you taking the time to do the work. Good job.

Also: Some bikes can get a bit of vacuum built up in the tank during extended "high-rpm" (or highway) running - try a highway pull with the gas cap a little loose? (Mostly empty so you don't splash too much). If you can find a local race/speed shop, they *may* have an ultrasonic fuel injector cleaner. There was one close to me that I used about 6 years ago, it was VERY reasonable for my purposes (~$25 per injector, factor for inflation and location of course). Mine just took the bare injectors and they did the rest.

@@squish3r Well, I took it for a spin Sunday and ripped on it like a maniac. Had not a single hiccup. I needed to drain that fuel out anyway. My guess is there’s some gremlins inside of the fuel pump canister. I took it off when changing out the fuel filter the first time and took a peek but didn’t think anything else of it. I’ll find out for sure. I also know I didn’t want to spend the $200 on a new pump so I left it alone to just the filter. Which means when some of that funk passes through the pump down the rail, it could be hitting those injectors briefly causing the issue. Then, the injectors eventually pass the funk through the cylinder and it’s burned off.

Bro, you're missing a big part of the picture. Your ecu needs accurate data from your throttle position sensor and your 2 IAP sensors to determine load. If one of those is glitchy its not going to pick up the throttle opening % accurately. It's not going to go into acceleration enrichment map areas. You gotta dig a little deeper here.

My vote is for MAF sensor or equivalent. Run some sea foam thru it maybe? Try some 110 racing fuel or non ethanol gas. KN air filter? It seems maaaaybe it's a respiration issue(breathing) Check engine compression? I think uve already change spark plug and wires, no? Yeh maybe a bad load of gasoline jammed that filter. As a diesel driver I've learned that if the pumps is hella slow, dont fill up there, as that is indicative of a station not replacing the pump filters.. So I would put it past bad gas load. How this... remove filter, wash out tank... Fill up on non ethanol fuel from lowes/HD out a can. Do not reinstall filter... and test it. Install new filter test it.... Ps. I need to learn to not comment while watching vids but to wait till the end. :)

Hi, just come across your video, good checks really like everything you did. Things you missed, your fuel reg is sticking, should never have the pressure drop as you blip the throttle, you have high content of moisture in your fuel causing the filter to fail, the filter has an active element that reacts with moisture causing discoloration and blocks up. I just got my bike running right after not using it a few years, same issue as your one. Did the pump and filter, filter looked bad only had 5000km on it, the original filter looked brand new with 45000km which I replaced shortly before I stopped riding the bike as a daily. Needless to say the new pump and filter did nothing to improve performance. I overlooked the reg at this point. I added really good quality fuel system cleaner, and rode the bike, my reg was so stick was causing huge backfiring at certain throttle and rpm due to lack of fuel pressure, gave the bike a hard time for few hours. Eventually the reg got stuck on high pressure causing my idle to be 2200rpm. Rode the bike the following day with fresh fuel for few hours eventually all got back to normal. Reccomed fresh good fuel, ride the bike hard, pull over let it heat soak 15/30 min ride hard again/ Just ride the bike! I'm surprised and impressed with the quality of the 109r, minus 2nd gear and the final drive which I destroyed along with many rear tyres. Hope you have solved your bike issue buy now. Looking the video was posted a year ago. For the other readers out there, points I raised are facts I'm in the tradie 20years. Regards from Sydney AU.

You've gotten some great advice on potential feeling problems, is, if none of those options fails to clear your issue I would suggest working your way back through the wiring harness paying very close attention to any part of the harness you've manipulated during your maintenance. Sometimes the insulation gets brittle and then cracks slightly when manipulated And this in turn can bugger a signal Coming from a sensor which your fuel injection computer uses to determine how much fuel to feed the motorcycle and when. I don't envy you if this is the case because these kinds of problems can be completely infuriating to track down even for a professional who went to a specialized electronic school.

if not there then check spark plugs - make sure the gaping is good, they are not full of carbon if so change them, not super wet if so there is something else that is wrong could be the plug wire not seating properly so that one isn't sparking if oily then it is something else that would required another tear down, injectors - make sure they too are cleaned out. I have had some success with just the carb/injector cleaners that are fuel additives a couple of tank fulls on older cars/trucks and motos, check to make sure your air box is on properly, the old honda shadow would literally DIE if there was too much air coming in.. cause if you put on a nice air cleaner and you didn't get a tune that could also be the issue with running out at higher speeds.. and then check all the hoes... I mean hoses lol gotta make sure they are sealed up nice and tight things do rattle off so check that and since we live in the colder weather stuff it helps to really check those fittings. keep up the fun vids and like how you are not afraid to just try something out.. cheers.

My 5 cent - eliminate the easy checks first. 1. if some dirt ust\whatever is in the tank you will see it by draining some fuel _from the tank_ in a clean glass, swirl, let it stand for an hour to wait for sediment, slowly pour away 99% of it, wipe the rest with a clean paper towel. If the towel comes up even a bit dirty, drain it, get a camera in, look for rust\chipping. flush it with clean fuel, (while you are at it, get some clean fuel in a glass to see if your "clean" fuel is actually clean) repeat. I had drained rust flakes of 1-2 mm from one of the bikes I checked hehehe. 2. try a different gas station for a week. But, since you were talking about a Tennessee trip you took, I doubt that is an issue with that particular station. Still worth a shot though. 3.try some highly-volatile fuel system cleaners (branded as "valve cleaners" "fuel system cleaners" "injector cleaners" or whatever. Usually low-weight hydrocarbons. Its a bandaid rather then a sollution, but if you see a difference its something. 4. you said air is ok. What about the oxygen sensor on the exhaust side as someone probably already mentioned? They should run longer than these 15-20 years, but could be a cheap check. 5. you said sparkplugs are ok. check again, its quickly done and even replacing them is cheap. Also... If your conjecture that there is an issue with the fuel delivery is correct, then after the event you should be running lean for a moment. I might be wrong, but I would do a roadside sparkplug check (gun it, killswithch while it hesitates, coast to a stop, get the plugs out, check color. Both, because there might be an issue just with one cylinder.) 6. I second the suggestion on driveshaft oil change. again, quick and cheap hehehe. As I said, nothing from these will probably solve your problem. But, negative result is one step in the right direction. And, before I'll tackle expensive electronic/injector side I'd rather be damn sure that it is exactly that where the problem lies..

wait. 0.40, you said the revs go up but no power. If revs go up, the engine is fine, its powertrain, no? Also, imo, any issues with inconsistent fuel delivery will result in non-precise throttle-revs relation. Like, when you open it to 80% revs and keep the throttle, it will want to go up from that or drop not by much, but I'd say if it is constant within 20-50rpm then engine side is fine. On the warm engine. Might be wrong though, I remember that '21 HD I testdrove that couldn't keep its idle within 300rpm constant, was all over the place.

Mm, it’s stuttering. I hate I don’t have video on what it’s doing but it’s like traction control cutting in on the fuel when I’m throttling down. It sputters and eventually kicks in and goes.

When something goes wrong with your bikes, how do you typically figure out what the issue is? Googling through forums or calling a dealer? A buddy of mine suddenly had an acceleration issue with his bike and has no idea what happened to it.
@BrandonBicasso
@BrandonBicasso 2 жыл бұрын
Googling to see if someone else has the issue too. Then of course, checking things that could be the problem. Having a manual helps with that. I started checking the things that could be the problem and ruled out each component. But, just because something is ruled to be not be a problem, it still could cause intermittent issues.

Fuel controller had a severed ground so when I asked for more power on the top end, fuel controller was acting up. The ground was only holding by a few strands of copper on the battery. Should also check your gas cap seals and air filters.

An old engine maybe he doesn't like the ethanol, cheap shit brands of gasoline? Ride the Fuel tank empty up to 20 % and drain the rest. Then put a small amount of petrol in the tank and rinse it out again. Is it a carburated engine ,then clean the carburetor reservoir And possibly the rest to? When my bike starts its hibernation I drain the gas tank and then I put in a special petrol. That stuff stays stable for a whole year. Greetings from Holland ( Joop )

You might double check your coils. My experience with Suzuki’s are the coils at least on the older models are marginal. They break down under load at higher rpm with time and mileage. The only way I know how to test them is on a machine that shows how far of a gap they will jump like a spark plug gap.
