Merry X-mas y'all ;-)
My bike, a 2010 with about 50000km is acting strange.
I used to get low tank level at about 275-300km now it is down to about 200km. It has gotten gradually worse over the last 10000km or so.
I got the valves done about 3000km ago. New plugs as well. Done by a very good mech that I trust (and i watched ;-)). No moist in the cylinder wells. The bodies were synchronised as well. Didn't replace the air filter since it was not in stock.
Since the service I have been using a fuel injection cleaner in every other tank. On recommendation of the mech.
Is is quite cold in Denmark at this time of year. The bike has been running fine until now. Still has high consumption though. I am doing a lot of driving in the city at this time of year, just regular transport, no joy-rides. I have about 20km each way to job.
This morning the temp was about 2 deg C, and the bike was idling very "unsmooth" around 1000rpm (whereas 1200rpm is normal) and struggling not to stall completely. When I took off it felt like it was running on one cylinder only. Giving more throttle the bike would accelerate very slowly and stuttering until what ever is wrong cut out and the front wheel got air side. Not very comfy in the heavy morning traffic ...
When the bike is warm it is running just fine. I assume the consumption is still high though.
When I took off for home, it was exactly the same. I did a stop on the way - about 45min - bike was running fine after that. Guess is was not completely cold.
I know the air filter is (very much) past due - I am going to replace it with a new one tomorrow. Is there anything else I could check while I'm in there? Any input is highly appreciated!
