Don’t apologise lads!! It’s great content, gives a real insight into the drawbacks of buying a budget bike and James and the JHS crew are great value!!!

[@djhinormas959]

yep 100% agree

[@jamesoren7238]

Right? This is what makes the budget bike series so great - every moto journo channel gets perfect media bikes most of use can’t afford and takes them on these idyllic rides though advertiser country... these are always so great because it’s two normal blokes buying a couple of shitters and taking them on the kind of trips we actually do. Love it!

GSXR 1000 clutch lever switch. Had this very same issue on my K6 track bike some years ago and that was fixed by changing the switch... I saw the same issue on a SV1000 K7.

[@bobtebooij1059]

Sounds like the clutch lever switch indeed. The bike thinks you are pulling in the clutch lever so it lowers the Rev limiter to prevent idiots from revving it to high.

[@phille042]

I had the same issue but with the stand switch on my SRAD 750 -98. Apparently the small metal bit that pushed on the switch had been bent through the years and the spring to hold the stand up had got a bit loose so when I revved to 7000 rpm the vibrations got to side stand and cut the power from time to time. But yeah, the clutch switch can also cause the problem.

[@edwardmorgan2965]

[@colinstewart1432]

Those guys rock. They're funny and they know their stuff

[@RawTopShot]

Measure voltage drop and amperage draw through the rpm range and see if it drops significantly at the cutout rpm. If it drops at that point ( from draw ) it could cut ( hard limit) but re-initialise as soon as voltage demand / load was off and keep doing that. Worth checking anyway. Use a live graph to measure the voltage load. Cheap cowboy check... Take bike battery off, hook a good car battery to bike terminals ( via jump leads ) run bike on dyno up to rpm you are getting the cutout, see if it's still there. If it's cured, buy a new decent bike battery with a good Ah rating. Reasoning... Car batteries are same 12v voltage but can provide more amperage ( voltage flow ). So using a car battery to check for testing negates an amperage feed drop/delivery issue that may be present in the original bike battery. If issue has gone, get a new decent bike battery. But..if bike STILL cuts out using car battery , next look at the voltage rectifier. (swap out for a good one if you have one). Measure temperature of the oem one in use.

[@RawTopShot]

Rectifier fix for the likes of old Honda VFR was after getting a new one ( SUN branded OEM if you didn't want to pay Honda packet price )... Fit the new one using thermal paste between rectifier and mounting point, then add a 12v pc type fan on the cooling fins to Ummm.. keep it cool in use. Heat is the killer of rectifiers. Have 12v fan wired to come on when ignition is on.

[@duckseverywhere8119]

Eh I see what you mean but amperage isn't exactly voltage flow

[@VaderWhoop]

@@duckseverywhere8119 What is amperage then?

[@AAARREUUUGHHHH]

@@duckseverywhere8119 Isn't that exactly the definition of it? Voltage over resistance and there you have the amperage.

There is NO Way the Seller of the k6 didn't know about the issues... Its just a warning to test ride every used bike. The level of issue in that engine is.... That crosses the line, down on power... Not. Many. Could tell between 150 and 130tbh but the misfire is something else. The wheels is a bargaining chip that Al should have caught, the camchain and. Valves is somethin1g you find when delving into a bike so some of this is on them some is. On the Seller. Should have got a sorted k4 rather than the k6 tbh. The issue with the uk market is even utter dogs like this suzuki are STILL 1500 quid. Stuff that would be a 100$ bike in the us goes for over a grand, its utterly crazy.

[@lfreece2]

I bought an old cbr that cut out at higher revs. Turned out to be varnished gas and corrosion from the tank that got into the fuel pump/filter and injectors. Had to replace the pump and clean the injectors. It's worked like a charm since, good luck

[@BuzzyRR]

Would be great if James bought a budget bike too. Seriously, the camaraderie between you all is reminiscent of peak Clarkson, Hammond and May. Would be amazing if a production company would pick you 3 up for a Top Gear style programme, pure gold. A lot of people watch Top Gear and don't have much interest in cars, I'm sure loads would watch you guys that aren't bikers, just for the banter!

[@chocobizoo]

Please don't apologize, I think we all love these vids, James and the crew are very interesting to listen to, love the technical knowledge bits for someone who doesn't know anything like me. Love watching them try to solve these "puzzles", let's call it. Most important thing is that the bikes are good enough for you guys to actually enjoy the experience without them breaking down every 10 minutes, in the end it'll make everything better. I'm sure everyone else is also just into this regardless of what time you're leaving, can't wait for the next update on the gixxer.

[@ianmills1120]

Sounds like a Secondary injector problem. Over 6k rpm and 70% throttle it should be running on the secondary injectors. Check fuel pump for correct fuel pressure and flow, fuel line to secondary injectors all ok, crank sensor all ok, power to secondary injectors and grounds all ok.

[@morganjones3364]

Yep worth checking all them. Also check the exup valve

[@metalmad89]

As a motorcycle technician, not checking vacuum hoses to start with and just chucking money at it is a rookie mistake

[@Joe-rv3rb]

i have a 2005 gsxr 600. and i installed a clutch lever that was not making contact with the clutch safety switch. and it turns out that if the clutch switch does not get pushed in all the way or is broken, the bike will hit a soft rev limit. way below its normal red line. Prolly not the issue, but its worth checking out. Good luck!

[@SuperBoomer95]

I've run rnto that issue a bit with people putting aftermarket levers on gsxr's... It's a total pain in the ass to diagnose as it doesn't make sense to even think about the clutch when you have an engine problem.

[@theavangelist]

Yep had same in an sv650s common Suzuki fault, they would have checked that for sure

[@1996Takis1996]

Some guy commented that exact same thing as you. That might be it,as I don't see a world where the jhs guys didn't check the voltage or the fuel pump. It must be something small and weird that doesn't happen in most bikes.

[@coast2coast00]

Could you check it by putting it in neutral and revving it with/without clutch to see if it changes behavior?

[@Joe-rv3rb]

@@coast2coast00 no, you can check the resistance of the switch. Or try to start it without pushing the clutch in

[@geniemartyn]

Hearing you guys are having problems makes me feel a little better from an experience I had not so long ago.. brought a GSXR 600 K2 for top money for its age.. (on condition it had a CLEAN MOT), had it shortly retested to FIND 12 major fails and an additional 13 minor advisories.. AND ONLY then to find the frame bent as well.. DVLA are taking action against the orginal MOT TEST CENTRE who did the clean MOT and I'm taking the person concerned to the small claim courts. Good luck with the trip guys.. hope ya have lots of fun and adventures for us to enjoy at a later stage.

[@casbrides]

Can I just say that the guys from JHS are the best. They love bikes and finding and sorting problems with their hands, eyes and ears. Proper mechanics.

[@Harzzu]

Every single problem i've had with GSXRs have been because of bad rectifiers.

[@LeytonC]

Was about to post have you checked the voltages around the bike, coil packs and fuel pump.

by the sounds of your high end misfire its probably low fuel pressure have you put a fuel pressure gauge on it to check?(fuel filter trapped hoses duff pump)

[@stanstefanov3315]

That used to happen to my GSXR when I first bought it. The tiny little filter underneath the fuel pump was clogged. Cleaned it and the problem was gone. Mine was getting to about 7-10k RPM and misfiring really badly. Good luck

[@ferrumignis]

Very good point, fuel filters on bikes rarely get changed or considered when diagnosing problems.

[@mickeypopa]

@@ferrumignis Those should be the first thing to be checked for obvious reasons - their job is to get dirty and clogged in order to keep your injectors and fuel lines nice and clean. Though I doubt the boys from JHS would miss something as obvious as that.

[@bobsyeruncle4841]

you lads cheer me up no end

[@robevans916]

Check the sidestand switch on the GSXR. I noticed the bike doesn’t have a sidestand, but has a stock loom. Typically the sidestand switch is bypassed in this case and the bypass often fails. Best of luck guys!

Man, a $2 item driving you crazy! I had a similar experience where a $2 item had me going in circles for an entire summer. It was one o-ring in the carburetor seat on my ninja that had a tiny nick in it. The nick would let fuel pass in the no. 1 cylinder and cause a flooding that would prevent it from starting. I literally went through the bike at least twice a week for three months trying to find the problem. Finally I pulled every part again in the carbs, air box, intakes... an inspected everything with a magnifying glass and then found the nick in the o-ring. Call the local dealership, order the part, installed it, problem solved.

[@SuperBoomer95]

This sounds stupid but is the clutch switch working properly? Suzuki NEEDS the clutch switch to work properly to be rideable. It doesn't affect when free revving (neutral/clutch pulled in), only when in gear and moving.

[@SuperBoomer95]

Either that or a fueling issue? Maybe the fuel pump can't keep up under load, or the injectors aren't good?. Also check the charging system. Suzuki's run fucky when the charging system isn't right

My k1 used to feel like I was hitting the kill switch when I opened it up full throttle. Turned out to be the loom over the radiator had rubbed and arked out at a certain rpm/ vibration Took me a year of frustration to find!

The problem with the gixxer could be with the fuel strainer in the bottom of the tank with years of gunk and the vacuum lines off the throttle body.

I had an issue with the 2002 Hornet cutting off at 10K. After checking everything else and almost giving up, it turned out to be some relay that was put in the loom between the ECU and the on/off switch. It was there for an aftermarket alarm system that I had removed, but it was taped so much and spliced good, that it looked original, so I didn't suspect. I was so happy after I tested it on the highway the first time and it got all the way to the red line, literally screaming in my helmet.

[@lewisyates2]

Check fuel pump and fuel pump lines. Had similar issue on my K4, turned out to be a cracked fuel pump hose inside the tank, when the revs get up there and the draw on the pump increased the pressure caused the crack to open up, only generally happened at 9k revs but sporadically.

[@thefish1977]

Make sure the fuel line from the tank isn't pinched, or just replace it. With the tank coming up and down so many times over the years, the hose integrity might have perished. Had similar issues on K1 and K4

[@TheBeanyi]

I had a very similar issue on a k4 750. Turned out to be the servo for the butterfly valves. Broken soldered connection. Sometimes the valves opened, sometimes the didn't. Started as an FI fault. Good old peice of cable to short the connections, and I think the faults were c19 and c27. Anyway, dab of solder and she ran strong. Symptoms were almost identical. Hit 7k ish rpm, and it shit the bed, went in to limp mode and wouldn't get past kinda 4 or 5k rpm and blew rather large flames from the exhaust.

[@trackdayaddictuk]

Issues I had with my K5 trackbike.. Tea bag filter in the petrol pump blocked. (blocked by rust from the inside of the tank.. big flakes of rust in the filter) 2nd issue (after a crash (well 3rd crash)).. and Al's gsxr has been crashed), ignition barrel. Worth popping out the fuel pump and giving the tea bag a clean (and check inside the top of the tank for rust). And then try bypassing the ignition barrel. (you seem to have done everything else electrical) Could be a knackered clutch switch. (if the ecu is constantly switching between the idle map and in gear map ? maybe.. but unlikely ?). Disconnect the clutch switch and see if it makes a difference ? (rev limit is reduced by 500 rpm... and it won't pull as well as it'll be stuck on the idle/neutral map.. rules out the ecu constantly switching maps). Dodgy Side stand bypass wiring ? Don't worry Al, you'll still boss it, the R1 will snap a con rod/break a valve spring/drop a valve. (from experience) Keep up the good work.

I had a bargain bin 06 gsxr600 that had the stator and rectifier go bad on it, and I replaced them with a cheap no name set that I thought fixed the issue, the engine ran and charged the battery again but developed a serious miss fire right in the mid-upper rev range. So I replaced the stator/rectifier again with Genuine Suzuki parts along with the plugs for good measure and that solved my bikes issues.

What about the STVA? My GSX-R 750 K4 had horrible problems with a hard-cut at about 7,000 rpm. I repaired the soldering on the STVA and that cured it.

Had something similar on a GSXR 99 turned out to be the fuel rail pressure not being high enough. Worth a look..

[@afropovic]

Its not the limp mode the GSXR goes in when the clutch switch is bypassed or faulty? You can turn off the limp mode in Woolich software (or the freeware RomRaider) by copying the fuel and ignition map values from the normal mode table, to the one that is read when the bike is in limp mode.

Have you guys checked fuel pressure. I work in a dealer and we took an 06 bandit 1250 in on trade and are having very similar issues we found that for some reason when it cuts fuel pressure drops to the point you can stall it on the "limiter" which is actually 5k to 9.5k depending on how it feels. We have tried multiple fuel pumps and pressure regulators with no luck the only thing it does is move the cut up and down the revs. If you guys have any luck id love to know and try it on the bandit and see if its the same issue

Bypass the kick stand switch. Or its possibly a faulty fuel pump. If gas leaks out of the bottom of the fuel pump after you disconnect the fuel line, then your fuel pressure regulator is bad.

i'm a long way off from knowledgeable, but is it a faulty high limit switch that is reading but not reading correctly? coolant temp, oil temp, pressure etc... sometimes those thermistors can still appear to provide output but not the precise value the ecu is looking for...

Bought a hoodie to put towards the Ohlins shock. Looking forward to this one! #teamR1

It's a long shot but once I rebuilt an engine and the head had been skimmed too much so the compression ratio was too high and it used to detonate at higher revs. Trouble is it might not show on standard compression test as it's only turning over at cranking speed. I only found out when I measured compression ratio accurately with head off etc.
