right, few issues with the recently purchased 09 450......
yesterday was out doing some fairly technical moorland riding, quite a bit of rev'ing, clutching, carrying, pulling, pushing and plenty of water,
this was fine for about a hr and then the bike went on its side in about 4-6 inches of water, didnt draw any in but was a fair old splash over the majority of the bike. fired straight back up but then started fluffing.... id describe it as a carb'd bike with water in the main jet, would tick over but not pick up?
this went on for 15-20mins, eventually after leaving the bike layed on its side for 3-4 mins on a grass bank whilst helping a mate the problem seemed to have been cured?
any help???
are there any mods for plugs, caps, waterproofing the bike?
also suffering for grip on the rear, got a new comp3 140 rear, running approx 10/12psi but seems to just dance all over the place and struggle on climbs? sag is set at approx 100mm on the rear and has a heavier spring installed? any help?
ive got a mapping switch and for the tight technical slippery riding ive done recently ive got it on the soft setting which did help slightly, and before anyone says it i havent come off a crf230, ive always had big 4 stroke bikes and race enduro/mx sidecars so am used to it moving around.
finally are the radiators on the bergs the same as the ktms of the same age? need a right hand rad, (one with the filler) as the one on the bikes taken a decent sized impact.
thanks in advance!!!
