| Bogging in low RPMs just recently I have noticed that when I get on it at low RPMs the bike will bog down. I also noticed when creeping it has a hard time doing that (actually killed it this morning trying to creep into a parking space). Never use to have an issue with this. Any ideas? could a plug be fouled? would I hear any weird noises if that were the case? Seems to run and start fine other than the low RPMs but haven't really gotten on it to see if it has lost any of its get up and go.
I know the plugs are a bitch to get to so if someone has a suggestion other than pull the plugs I'm all ears, of course if thats the only suggestion that I get then I guess its going to be a long weekend. |

| Re: Bogging in low RPMs Try some Seafoam, just for the helluvit. Won't hurt anything. But, 600's usually need to be revved pretty high anyway, from my experience. |

| Re: Bogging in low RPMs I'd for sure run a quality fuel injector cleaner through it like a seafoam. Has this happened for a while? Possibly a bad tank of gas? I had a bad tank last week and the bike was a bit groggy. That's what I get for filling up at an out of the way station that who knows how long the premium was sitting down there.
A fresh tank of good stuff from BP and she ran much better. |

| Re: Bogging in low RPMs actually... I did get gas from a different place yesterday after work... Great I have a whole tank of crappy gas I need to get through (or might have to).
I'll be sure to throw in some seafoam as soon as I get home. |

| Re: Bogging in low RPMs then watch your lawnmower run like ****.
use it as lighter fluid for your grill. That or you could pull the trick like your avatar pic. |

| Re: Bogging in low RPMs I'm gonna ride it out. I'm too lazy to take the gas out. I should be able to burn up the remaining fuel today. |
