Hey guys,
A lot of us are having problems with the 4-6K sputters with our quality Thundermax units. I just got done riding about 200 miles. Riding between 65-75, the thing sputters, misses, and runs like shit if you apply any load to the bike. If you're going downhill or aren't trying hard to accelerate, it doesn't sputter as bad.
But, my question is, are we hurting our bikes by riding it when it's sitting there running like shit? Most of us, I would assume, cruise within this RPM range. I wonder what's making the bikes run like crap. Is it too lean of an AFR?
I'd appreciate any insight to this. I'm getting fed up with the Thundermax. I've been fighting it for over a year and hear the same "it's your bike" excuse everyone else is.
Thanks,
Tom
