Troubles and havent even had first ride

I wish I was 1.5 hours and $200 away from Lushy. Just sayin'.

Exactly my thoughts Richard

Hi DEcosse

there is no idle at all basically it is trying to stall when reving it even when revs are up, if i am not moving the throttle fast enough it stalls like its starving. i havent changed any air filter or looked there because i knew the fuel was off. when we first picked up the bike. the owner had a car mechanic trying to start the bike and it wouldnt fire up it was trying to start. we got it home and it wouldnt even try to start up. we washed the tank with premium fuel andchanged the fuel pump, fuel filter and regualator. but it wouldnt even start it would just click. after the dealerships they put a new battery in it and said the new battery we put in it was stuffed. the bike started normally but would stall as soon as it fired up unless i was reving the throttle but even then it is trying to stall.

Welcome Karl. I believe the post by ygransom about varnished up injectors is dead nuts on. One way to check the issue is to remove the plumbing from the throttle bodies. Get a can of carb cleaner or throttle body cleaner. Start the bike and hold the throttle until she starts to bog out then spray quickly in a sweep across the throttle body's. If the rpms pick up with the addition of the extra fuel then you know it is a fuel issue. If that happens take the fuel rail and injectors off and have them cleaned. Hopefully you could find a auto shop that has the equipment locally to do that for you as it needs to be done under pressure with special cleaning solvent. Just taking injectors off the rail and having a go at them with a spray can won't get down under the business end of the injector.

Hope this helps Karl. Don't dismiss the others advice about taking it to Mr. Lush It might cost a little $$ but you would shortly be riding it instead of banging your head against it.

Nev is a class act. I trust him totally. Been a loyal customer for several years.

I'm sure Mr. Lush is everything you all with experience of him say he is
But honestly, this shouldn't require a specialist and let's respect Karl's choice to hold off on hauling his bike on a trailer he doesn't have.
At least for now, until further basic investigation is done.

Re the Injectors - It's a possibility but in my experience I've taken Triumphs that have sat for just as long and the injectors were not a problem
Especially if there was still gas in the tank (if that was bone dry & itself gummy however, probably different story)
But I do agree it's definitely worth taking a look at to validate or dismiss one way or other.

Again, fairly simple to test yourself Karl - just remove the rail & see if they spray when cranked
The nice thing about this type of fuel rail is that the injectors remain captive in the rail so easy to see how they operate.
If they're either dribbling when the rail is pressurized before even cranking, or you don't get a good even spray, then they will need to be serviced.

Just be careful - we are talking about spraying raw fuel here!
A few crank rotations should be plenty to see how they look. You will get a longer duration if you open the throttle.
And remember that if you DO have to remove them, your fuel rail may still be pressurized! So be cautious you don't get sprayed in the eye!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As suggested by BillB, if they do NOT in fact spray cleanly (or drip), then send them out to a professional injector cleaning facility.
Be sure to have new O-rings for permanent re-install.

p.s. If all three are poor, remember not to discount that you could possibly have low fuel pressure - that really should be checked also.If you can get hold of a pressure gauge, just stick it in that hose that fits onto the Fuel rail, turn on ignition and measure it while it primes. (you can also do just a crude check to see if you get good flow from that hose during a prime step - flow the fuel into a jar)

one of the other reasons at the moment for not going to far away is 8 days old

No idea who the mechanic is that Karl is taking it to , so I'm not saying he will not be able to sort out the problem. What I do know is it's easy to spend a lot of money while someone 'searches' for the problem. My money would be on the bloke in the tin shed that knows Rockets inside out .. just saying.

Hi TOMCAT

when i was booking the bike Lushy was away at the time, my concern with the bike is that i dont know how much bull the owner had told me about the bike until it is running. the owner originally told me he was starting it up every 3 months and a friend of his would take it around the block for a spin and bring it back. when we arrived and they where trying to start the bike they said they had drained the tank and put new fuel in it but couldnt start it due to faulty fuel pump. when we got the bike home and opened up the tank the fuel smelt so bad it made us all want to vomit. the rubber stopper on the fuel pump was mush and had melted onto the fuel pump strainer. there was no way he changed the fuel so i am guessing he never took it for a ride for awhile either. i personally had never seen fuel that bad.

Lushy is on my list and for people to recomend him from around the world just shows how good he is. i would have taken the bike to him if i knew about him before i took it to the dealership. the dealership cost me 960 dollars already and i am not sure what more costs are ahead of me. the guy i am going to has a very good local recomendation for his work and his prices, he goes out of his way for his customers. it was just a matter of timing and knowledge when i booked it in and i need to honour my agreement with Peter obviously this will change if it all goes to **** and my wallet gets even more lighter. with the same problems

P.s My ecutune cable just arrived so as soon as i have sorted out bubs i will have a go with the suggestions posted.

now that we have the complete story we do not have to guess any more. like the others tell you it is probably the injectors. if you do not have the tools or some mechanical experience then you should let a professional do the job.
if you decide to do it your self then you should take the safety advice from some of the forum mechanics.
