Hoping someone can assist with this. I have a 99 fe400 with super low hrs. It ran fine 6 mos ago, but now I have a problem with high speed running. It starts fine, choke on 2 kicks , choke off - 1 or2 kicks and it starts right up on idle. Throttle response is great thru 1st , 2nd, 3rd gear, at the top of 4th is seems to hold back a little and when I shift 5th it starts to sputter and jerk quite a bit at low to mid throttle, if I give it full wick it dies like theres no fuel or spark. 6th gear is also weird as it seems to die with no throttle and sputter away at low to mid and die again at full wick. Ive had the carb off/apart and cleaned and blew out everything I could find & chged out the fuel, I thought for sure it was a clog in the main as Ive had this before with other bikes. Also chged the plug, pulled off the stator cover too see it looks like new. Am I missing something in the carb?? Is it possible an electrical componet is failing?? I bought this bike used with only about 75mi on it and it ran great, I haven't riden it much because the stock suspension did'nt suit me, I just had it all done by enduro expert in NJ, put some short bar risers on it with a softer seat, I thought I was ready to ride but now I need to iron this thing out.
I would really appreicate any help/ ideas you guys have.
