Rod Needs Prunes?

Any insight? My bike lost most of its power, I wasn't able to open the throttle wide without the engine dying more, and the engine sounded "muffled" all of a sudden with a bit of a rat-tat-tat sound like something was plugged up. After riding for a minute or so, something seemed to "break free" and the power came back as suddenly as it went away. 550 miles total on bike. Thanks in advance!!

FUEL FLANGE?Bad Fuel,Bad Coil,Your Girl is Too Fine? ;) Check these and report back ASAP! :kaz:
:confused: Kalama. When I had the fuel flange problem it became worst at a certain rpm range. Higher than that it "cleared". It never went away. Slightly worsened over time over a wider rpm range. Did the problem go away completely? Any areas in the powerband worth discussing?

:lick: You have great taste in motorcycles. The black "A" would be the only other one I'd own.

:lick: AND great taste in women. That's YOUR girl in the lounge there where Kaz couldn't get Acrobat? He's right you know?
I've seen similar problem with plugged injector.

Thanks for the info. Now if only she could fix a bad coil or fuel flange she would be perfect!!
